Experience the harmonious collaboration of Manu Chao and Mermans Mosengo as they perform the classic Brazilian folk song, "Asa Branca." During the trip to Angola, the crew drove hours to the ancient native village of Calandula, and while waiting for the rain to cease, they joined together for this intimate Live Outside rendition.

"Asa Branca," written by Luiz Gonzaga and Humberto Teixeira in 1947, symbolizes the departure of a migrant worker amid the arid conditions in Sertão, having to leave love behind in search of a better life, but promising to return with the rain. "Asa Branca," was voted the fourth greatest Brazilian song in the past decade by Rolling Stone Brazil, and speaks of the deep connection between the land and its people, with underlying themes of hope, freedom, and the longing to return home.

Enjoy the musical magic and feel the spirit of inspiration and hope.

Written by Luiz Gonzaga and Humberto Teixeira

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.
