Mark's Park EP11: An Evening with Prince Diabaté | Playing For Change

Welcome to our eleventh episode of Mark’s Park, "An Evening with Prince Diabaté.” We invite you to enjoy this beautiful night of music from the West African nation of Guinea, featuring kora master Prince Diabaté and his band.

Prince Diabaté brings not only total mastery over his ancestral tradition, but a commitment to renew it through fresh ideas and exchanges with musicians from many cultures.

Mark’s Park is filmed in front of a live audience in PFC co-founder/producer Mark Johnson's backyard in Venice Beach, California. This series brings together the diverse group of people, who call Venice Beach home, in an effort to connect the world through music. A portion of the proceeds from Mark's Park will benefit the Playing For Change Foundation—an international nonprofit organization, operating 17 music programs in 13 countries, established to create positive change through music and arts education.

Join us from Mark's home to yours, and let the rhythmic feels of the kora connect you to the sounds of West Africa.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a Certified B Corp (Social Purpose Organization) created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting music programs for children around the world.
