From Mathis Picard:
”So happy to share a project I’ve been working on this year. We are going to be celebrating 50 years since the majestical ‘3 days of peace & music’ otherwise known as the Woodstock festival. I will be revisiting the soundtrack to those turmoiling days with today’s Leading voices in music !
Charting musical territories of Joni Mitchell, John Coltrane, Ravi Shankar, Jimi Hendrix, Sly & The Family Stone and much more, the message of love, peace and unity that these artists encouraged are still very valid and important today. Between riots in the streets, disgraments in essential political agreements, climate change and internal Warfare, the discussion continues. 
So we carry their message in our time, today, and we take it forward. “
