Recycled Orchestra

In Coleura, Paraguay, the residents of a slum community built on a landfill earn their living by recycling and selling items found in the landfill.  They also use the found materials to make musical instruments, as in the violin shown here, for the Recycled Orchestra in which their young people perform.

The young performers and their orchestra will be featured in an upcoming documentary, Landfill Harmonic. You can see a preview here:
