This Orchestra Sounds Like Garbage

The members of Paraguay’s Cateura Orchestra of Recycled Instruments are no older than 20 years of age. But these inventive musicians make their own instruments out of solid waste. The orchestra has traveled the world, carrying an environmental message and rallying support for waste workers. A recent concert in Bolivia took them to a landfill site in La Paz, where workers enjoyed the music. Garbage is a big deal in the Bolivian capital, which produces 670 tons of waste a day.
