Behind the Scenes of Yusuf/Cat Stevens' 'Where Do The Children Play?' Video

Yusuf / Cat Stevens, who celebrated his birthday yesterday (happy birthday!), released a touching stop-motion video last month for 'Where Do the Children Play?'. The song has been rerecorded and reimagined for his upcoming album, Tea for the Tillerman², as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of his ground-breaking 1970 album. Now, in a series of three videos, you can watch how the 'Where Do The Children Play?' video was made.

In explaining the importance of the song today, Yusuf / Cat Stevens said, 'It's so relevant. It's a great song that tells it like it is: that we need to change our ways.' In keeping with the song's powerful message, the video was made using 90% recycled materials gathered from beach cleans, rubbish dumps and donated items.



Also marking this important anniversary, Genesis Publications and Yusuf / Cat Stevens will publish a signed limited edition book, tentatively titled, Cat Stevens, 1970-'71. The book will feature lyrics, photographs, illustrations and the recollections of Yusuf / Cat Steven, celebrating three ground-breaking albums: Mona Bone Jakon, Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat.
