I've been looking for this forever. I was in Europe when Peter Gabriel produced this. It's over 30 minutes long and all of these musicians played this one song, their way. It was really big overseas at the time, but sadly not many Americans heard about it. I had it recorded, but sadly it's on PAL so I left it.

This video is in many parts, so if you have the patience, it's worth checking it out because it involves America, Cuba, Jamaica, South America, London, China, Africa.

It's one big jam session. It's in 12 parts, so just look for the next number on the right.

Wau cool. Gabriel is one of my idols for quite a few reasons.

Chay, this is out- stand- ing. I am glad that the first instruments we see are flutes. I'm going to watch some more. This reminds me of Yo Yo Ma's Christmas CD about 2 or 3 years ago...love this.

You definitely want to watch the whole thing because the way everything ties in, the rise and fall of tempo, is amazing. How they tied in pop, rock, rap, jazz, tribal, it was just awesome when it came out. I had mad respect for Peter Gabriel after seeing this. He created the One World label shortly after and many of the artists on this video released an album on his label.
