Global Lingo is an innovative benefit album launch that is uniting real "Slumdog Musicaires" from around the world to join forces with other artist-activists to create and album that speaks the universal language of music. Unlike other albums that benefit children, Global Lingo is an album MADE by the children who have benefited from its programs over the past seven years. Renowned musicians like Michael Franti and Spearhead (with Sly and Robbie), J-Boogie, Miguel Migs, Junior Reid and the kids themselves from Project Ahimsa youth programs Manav Sadhna are all featured on this first-of-its-kind collaboration and musical celebration of diversity, delivering funky rhythms of reggae, bhangra, hip hop and electronic in a mix-tastic compliation. |
Very often such "albums with a cause" fall by the wayside due to mediocre content
with good intentions. On Global Lingo, both music and message are beautifully intertwined,
a no-lose situation on many levels. There is the deep digital sound that's been
discussed, but the acoustic songs shine without softening the luster of the others.

"Slumdog Millionaire brought the imagery of the poorest of the poor in India to a global audience...
But what if a project could offer a voice to the...kids of Bombay, or those living on the streets of Central America?
Project Ahimsa, backed by NGO partners and musicians including Michael Franti, Funkadesi, Sly & Robbie to name a few, aims to give the poorest kids in the world an opportunity to make music. The participants don't win prizes as in a traditional talent quest, but are given an opportunity to survive...It's a great program with inspiring results." - Duncan Riley, The Inquisitr |
