THE RECYCLED ORCHESTRA - MAKING GOLD FROM GARBAGE

 
 
The Orchestra of Recycled Instruments from Paraguay is made up of youth from the community of Cateura, near Asuncion in South America. The distinctive characteristic of this musical group is that it  performs on instruments made of solid waste from the landfill in Cateura. The young musicians and their family members have made these instruments themselves. Their motto is "The world sends us their garbage, we give them back music."
