Stradivarius was a manufacturer of stringed instruments during the 17th and 18th centuries. A few of his instruments are still in existence, and typically sell at auctions for a few million dollars. These violins, violas, and cellos are prized possessions for the owners.
In contrast, the music instruments used in a particular orchestra in Cateura, Paraguay, are created from trash. Rather than owned by the world's elite professional musicians, these instruments are played by children who live in a landfill. These children learn to play the instruments, read music, and perform as an orchestra. Their successes there lead, for some at least, out of the landfill and to success elsewhere.
You will be inspired as you watch this video as you see children use what is around them to achieve something more.
