This combo (CD/DVD) is more like a continuance of the original than a sequel. Once again featuring musicians around the world coming together for one purpose. This album has an exceptional track listing with covers of songs by, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Rolling Stones and more, done with musicians and instruments found all over the globe. A perfect companion to the first and if you're not familiar with the first one do yourself a favor and order it as well.
Peace Through Music.... join the movement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never have tired of watching/listening to PFC the original. Neither will I tire of PFC 2. Do not hesitate to purchase this DVD/CD...it is awesome! Thanks to the PFC foundation for the beautiful and moving music.

Support PFC by buying this CD a portion of this goes to help build music and art schools in countries across the world. Run to buy this before it is on back order and you will have to wait. While you are there, buy PFC the original too. Best money you will ever spend.
