PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
In 2002, the world came to know Daniel Pearl as the Wall St. Journal reporter who was abducted and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan. In 2005, in response to this heinous act and as part of Daniel Pearl World Music Days, Todd Mack, a close friend of Pearl's, started FODfest (Friends of Danny festival) as a way to honor his friend with a legacy that reflects the ideals by which he lived rather than the tragic way in which he died. In addition to being a journalist, Daniel Pearl was a talented musician who believed in the power of music to bring people together regardless of the differences between them. A classically trained violinist and avid fiddler & mandolin player, music was Danny's way of connecting with people and learning about the local culture as he traveled the world. In a unique performance experience that is part jam session, part song swap, part concert, FODfest is a living celebration of this ideal. Some of the musicians performing were friends of Danny's, while others didn't know him at all. Most are meeting for the first time on stage. They all share Danny's belief in music as a universal language. In October of 2008, FODfest embarked on a 17 day tour up and down the east and west coasts, with some 200 musicians from across the country and across the globe participating. The tour was recorded in it's entirety and 25 of the 300+ songs performed made it's way onto this CD.
