Musical instruments built from trash

This is so inspirational, and it's just the trailer for an upcoming documentary about children living on a trash dump in Paraguay playing musical instruments made from garbage. What amazing sounds they can create. It's really lovely to watch!

...and here's a news item (http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2012/11/21/landfill-worker-in-paraguay-turns-trash-into-orchestra/) about the group, "Landfill Harmonic" and how it started.

Thanks CB I enjoyed watching that. It is amazing what can be done with trash and bring enjoyment to the people living there.

Thats an inspirational video, it also makes you realise that the things we moan about are trivial!

Here's an even more complete video about the children and how their instruments were made.

It also shows them playing together as an orchestra. They have even toured Europe.

Really wonderful to see how these young people overcame their limitations. Another great video!
