That Hill | Zoé Renié Harris | Playing For Change | Live Outside

We invite you to enjoy this acoustic performance of Zoé Renié Harris, from the band Zoe's Shanghai, performing her original song, "That Hill," live outside in Barcelona. Influenced by sounds such as soul, jazz and West African roots, Zoe and her band create a sound all their own and as they say "use music as a weapon to make you feel alive!"
When asked what inspired her to write this song Zoé responded, "So That Hill, is basically an enthusiastic metaphor of life. I wrote it back when I was at business school, feeling very frustrated because the things we were taught were not stimulating and kind of meaningless to me. The only option for a flourishing future seemed to depend on becoming a competitive asset on the job market. I felt trapped in the codes, so this song is a call for more, an auto convincing message that there is a life outside of what they (the dancing masks) predicate."
Be sure to check out the debut EP from Zoe's Shanghai, A Mirage (Meant To Last Forever), being released on May 24th.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement 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. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.
