Música Con Vida - Music For Survival

Is it possible to fight drugs, violence and destitution with guitars and drums? Yes, said Magdalena Abrams (21) from Hamburg, Germany. During her one year stay in the slums of “Guasmo Sur“ (Ecuador), she succeeded in building a small music school for beggarly kids.

Fifteen music-students from north Germany shared her opinion and created the socially active group “Musicians Without Borders“ and became part of the music school established by Magdalena by continuing the kid’s music education in her honor.

In the summer of 2007, this group of music students from Germany went to Ecuador for the first time. They taught music in the slum for one month and produced a concert in Guayaquil (Ecuador). One of the participants was Jana Truszkiewicz, a trainee in media-design at Cube-Tec International in Bremen, Germany.
