Musicians from A Real PURPOSE organize and travel to host countries. Through a series of recording sessions with local musicians, we perform and record classic songs and new collaborations. These collaborations are captured on audio and video. The goal is to produce and release these projects through multi-media resources whose sales profit generates school supplies for children of the host countries.
