Join us as Playing For Change presents a mesmerizing rendition of "Ataole" Song Around The World in celebration of the International Day for People of African Descent.

"Ataole” is an all-time classic, originally recorded by Batata y Su Rumba Palenquera and released in 2003 in Paris, France, by the Palenque Records Label. This track comes from the last album recorded by the legendary Paulino Salgado Batata, who was revered as the king of percussion and drums from San Basilio de Palenque on the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

Embark on a cultural journey that spans continents, connecting San Basilio de Palenque, Angola, and New Orleans through the universal language of music. This breathtaking musical collaboration seamlessly weaves together the rich traditions and rhythms of these diverse regions, celebrating the resilience and spirit of the African diaspora and highlighting the shared heritage and interconnectedness of communities around the world.

Let's spread the joy and power of music across borders, one note at a time!
