This is Cateura, Paraguy. These kids live on a landfill. All their instruments were made from things found in the landfill. These kids are worth the few minutes spent watching the video.

[DJ MacWoW]

These kids are unbelievable......

“These kids live on a landfill”

But unless they come to this horrible country they will never know true poverty. //sarcasm

[DJ MacWoW]

Did you watch the video?

[GeronL]

OK, they don’t look all that downtrodden and “World Vision” PSA worthy to me.

[a fool in paradise]

[GeronL]

I figured it out.

They are too old for a “Feed the Children” commercial.

That’s the problem

[DJ MacWoW]

So you’ll vacation there?

[GeronL]

Seriously though. I have been pretty close to that level actually. They did a great job on the instruments!

[blam]

Neat, thanks.

A little off-topic for this list, but that cello sounds freaking amazing.

[DJ MacWoW]

They have learned the value of “things” and “see” what others don’t. The cello was a surprise! :-)

This is a wonderful program. They play better than I ever could on a real insturment.

[DJ MacWoW]

You’re welcome. :-)

This made my eyes water. I am a great lover of classical music.

Who needs a Stradivari and Guarneri who made the best violins for violin playing and collection?

[DJ MacWoW]

They play better than I ever could on a real instrument.

Oh yeah! Same here.

[DJ MacWoW]

I thought the same. They took “garbage” and made it beautiful.

The cello was pretty awesome

[DJ MacWoW]

Who would have thought that an oil drum could sound like that?

[GeronL]

Maybe next halloween they can be...
