The world sends us garbage, we send back music: Favio Chavez at TEDxAmsterdam

    Favio Chávez worked as an ecological technician at the largest garbage dump in Asunción, Paraguay. There he became aware that especially the children of the recyclers needed something positive. One man's trash is another man's music and now, children in his music education programme learn to make instruments from recycling material and, in those instruments they play Mozart and Beethoven, just like any other music student around the world.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    This is so inspirational. I grew up privileged, my parents bought me beautiful instruments. I loved playing, and music is a huge part of my life. To see these kids playing instruments made of recycled trash that sound so beautiful? Amazing. Just shows how the creative, musical spirit will shine through in the darkest places. Bravo!

    Heard this video a couple of days ago and I was spechless!!! Just like to say that the Power of Love has neither limitations nor barriers or frontiers... is the Power of God in action. My respect and admiration to Favio Chavez for his humanitarian work, helping their fellow brothers and sisters to became better human beings. May God bless him and all those children.

    I have never really given thought to what if my voice were suddenly rendered where I couldn't use my voice for song!! I sat and cried through this entire video thinking about that very possibility and watching the struggle of each and every one of these people doing just that, STRUGGLE! I am so thankful for my gift of song and need to be more aware that my gifts are freely given and could at any time be taken away from me just as they were given! It takes a special person to do what this man has done directing and instructing these people and I pray they continue to sing! He also has a gift of compassion and sometimes that is the most overlooked spiritual gift there is in this world! I wish goodness and love to all who read this and never forget there is a higher power that loves you beyond what you could ever imagine and all you have to do is call upon him by name and he will be there! Love and Light Candie!

    Why is it that such beautiful music can be played by youngsters on instruments made from the trash people throw away in far-off Paraguay, yet here in South Africa there is no such incentive to inspire kids to do the same and so better themselves???
