"Links I Like" on Art & Music

Ideas/Model/Paper

Basic orchestras in poor areas of DRC.  Kimbanguist Symphony Orchestra in Kinshasa, Dem Rep of Congo. I saw this on a BBC docum & was blown away. This might seem unusual & maybe impractical, but music & art provide some of the intangibles to development, culture, & life. Interviews share about how the orchestra has united blacks & whites, allowed for a starting pad for creating Africa's own classical music, & brought an avenue for the expression of passion & life.  #MUSIC
