Turning garbage into music this Christmas.

Aaah, this is too sweet to hold over until the New Year. Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra is the creation of Favio Chavez, a landfill worker and musician. It transforms garbage into classical instruments, played by the kids of local people (Garbage not garage?). Their story is being turned into a film (if they can raise enough cash), with the perfect title landfillharmonic. Magical. Christmas starts here. See you in 2013 (Mayan apocalypse permitting) [h/t Jenny Matheson]

About this blog

This blog is written and maintained by Duncan Green, strategic adviser for Oxfam GB and author of 'From Poverty to Power'. More information on Duncan and the book is available on the From Poverty to Power official website.

It is a personal reflection by the author. It is intended to provoke debate and conversations about development, not as a comprehensive statement of Oxfam's agreed policies - for those, please take a deep breath and read the Oxfam International strategic plan or consult policy papers on a range of development issues.
