The Cateura Orchestra of recycled instruments,<\/strong><\/a> that uses musical instruments built out of waste material, are on tour in Spain.<\/p>\n

The children from \u201cRecycled Music\u201d<\/strong><\/a> will take part in the concert, a Project of Ecoembes<\/strong><\/a>, sponsor of the tour. This project was developed through the inspiration of the Cateura Recycled Orchestra and combines education, culture and recycling.<\/p>\n

The money raised during the tour is destined for the Foundation of the Cateura Orchestra which is made up of the parents of the child musicians and the orchestra\u00b4s director and founder, Favio Ch\u00e1vez<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sustainable Social and Personal Development<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Cateura Recycled Orchestra comprises children and young people at risk of social exclusion, who come from the capital of Paraguay, Asunci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

One of its districts, Cateura, is built on a rubbish dump, which has been the source of material for making marvellous musical instruments; a whole orchestra of violins, violas, cellos, double basses, guitars, flutes, saxophones, trumpets, trombones and percussion instruments.<\/p>\n

This exemplary programme began thanks to the initiative of the environmental technician and musical director, Favio Ch\u00e1vez, who started off the project 10 years ago determined to improve people\u00b4s quality of life. For once music and recycling went hand in hand to carry out important social work<\/p>\n

The world sends us rubbish and we give it back music.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The orchestra once again resonates with its message of personal growth and sustainable care of the environment<\/p>\n

Recycling, besides preserving our surroundings, offers a second chance to find the best version of oneself.<\/p>\n
