This clip to me encapsulates the purity, beauty and universality of music. It’s a beautiful, simple moment in time. What music companies spend millions of dollars on trying to make a video these kids did it in 5 minutes with a phone.
Music and technology connects and unites.
Track is Sublime‘s Santeria.

Thanks for this DG. I am from the Philippines.
And though some may merely see the poverty of the surroundings, I admire that you have gone beyond this and see with your heart the simplicity and honesty that this vid conveys – It’s all about the music man!
My hat’s off to you! Your passion for music transcends the borders of technology and eye candy.
