What is Global Lingo?
|
Project Ahimsa is a global effort to empower youth through music. This mission is fulfilled
through producing events, supporting youth music educators, donating musical instruments,
and developing innovative cultural arts programming. To date, Project Ahimsa has raised
funds for these efforts impacting more than 10,000 children in underserved areas worldwide.
Project Ahimsa operates as the cultural initiative of the Patel Foundation for Global
Understanding, a registered 501c3 non profit corporation based in Tampa, FL,
USA.

Global Lingo is an innovative benefit album that is uniting real "Slumdog
Musicaires" from around the world to join forces with other artists and activists
to create an album that speaks the universal language of music. Unlike many other
"benefit" albums, Global Lingo is an album MADE by beneficiaries using talents and skills
cultivated in supported programs.
Renowned musicians such as Michael Franti and Spearhead (San Francisco), Karsh
Kale (UK), J-Boogie (San Francisco), Funkadesi (Chicago), Tablapusher (San
Francisco), DK (NYC), Sunny Jain (San Francisco), and Janaka Selecta (LA) have
donated or joined forces with our sponsored programs such as Youth Movement Records in
Oakland, California (USA), Manav Sadhna in Gujarat (India) and Ritmo en los
Barrios in Managua (Nicaragua), and beyond to record and remix original tracks
for the Global Lingo CD project; a musical celebration of diversity, delivering
funky rhythms of reggae, bhangra, hip hop and electronica in a mix-tastic
compilation album.
