After Hurricane Katrina, musician Luc Reynaud was moved to travel to New Orleans to help and discovered first-hand the power of music to open people up to healing. This led him to create a music project with child evacuees called "Freedom Song" which then grew wings when covered by Jason Mraz and it became and anthem in Ghana and reached freed boy slaves. Social worker, teaching artist, musician and a lover of the earth, Luc was born and raised in a small mountain town in eastern Washington where he grew up humming in the background to the elegant voices of his father and eldest sister. Two years into his film direction studies at college, Luc took to hitchhiking across the western United States and along the way discovered his true passion: music. Since then he’s dedicated his life to music and social service. Luc is driven by the fundamental belief that we all have endless capabilities as long as we do not limit or judge ourselves. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

The URBAN NOMAD Presents Song Trek, San Diego, CA Freedom Song- LA WEEKLY EXCLUSIVE The URBAN NOMAD presents Song Trek, the story of how one song can truly affect the world, featuring Jason Mraz, Luc and the Lovingtons, and Free the Slaves. "Freedom Song" was born in the midst of disaster. Written by Luc Reynaud and several children at a shelter in New Orleans, during Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. Freedom Song was eventually recorded in a studio by the children, and Luc and the Lovingtons. From there it caught the attention of many, including noted musician Jason Mraz, who introduced the song to an organization called Free the Slaves. Freedom Song traversed the world, finding its way to a village in Ghana. There, former child slaves find a way to release themselves through song, from the mental bondage that remains, even after their rescue by Free the Slaves.

For all the peepz who do not know how to puzzle I have re-uploaded the hidden video from the official Jason Mraz youtube account. (Don't hate me for this)

From DirecTV's broadcast of Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America, Jason Mraz performs "Freedom Song" at Miller Park in Milwaukee on October 2, 2010. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. For more information about Farm Aid, visit: http://farmaid.org/youtube Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help — what can you do?
