With A Little Help From My Friends | Playing For Change | Song Around The World

Music has the power to unite us all and we are excited to bring together incredible artists and musicians from across the globe in a powerful celebration of friendship, humanity, and our shared connection through music. “With a Little Help from My Friends” Song Around The World is a special global collaboration featuring extraordinary artists and musicians from Antigua and Barbuda, Cameroon, Fiji, Ghana, India, Samoa, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Created in celebration of CHOGM 2026 — the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, hosted by Antigua and Barbuda — this production reflects the spirit of a global gathering that brings together leaders and communities from across the Commonwealth to strengthen cooperation, celebrate diversity, and advance a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future. Through this timeless Beatles classic, artists from different cultures and musical traditions remind us of the transformative power of music and the importance of coming together with a shared purpose. No matter where we come from, we are all connected by the universal language of music. When we share our voices, embrace our differences, and help one another, we can create something truly beautiful and impactful! One song. Many voices. One shared humanity.
