Playing For Change is the project that I was thinking of which made videos of clips of musicians/singers from various nations in the world performing the same song/s.

Here's a blog entry from one of that group's performers:

"Three years ago an inspired film crew came to my house in the Mamelodi township [South Africa] and filmed me performing "One Love," "Stand By Me," and a few of my originals.

Over the past few years, this same film crew has traveled all over the world-- from the Mamelodi township, to Santa Monica, CA to Tel Aviv, to Barcelona, to Northern Ireland and back a few times filming musicians all around the world.

The result is Playing For Change, of which I'm proud to be a part. The beautiful videos and music that they have created show the power of music and the power to effect peace through music."
