How Music Saved Venezuela's Children

[MrGtsouk]

My teacher told us to write about this :)

[nattxsulfur]

@MrGtsouk i guess u r studying at deree college...;)

[MrGtsouk]

@nattxsulfur hehe , yes I am :P This is for a response essay that we have to write .

[insomniacgrace]

Wow! So inspiring.

[CeruleanRomantic]

"The World Values Survey has consistently shown Venezuelans to be among the happiest people in the world, with 55% of those questioned saying they were "very happy"." Venezuelans have gone through hell and back more than once and are a resilient people and im more than proud to be one

[eliobruni]

El Sistema del Maestro Abreu ha tenido mucho más soporte, recursos y hasta sede propia justamente es en el gobierno actual, ya que los anteriores nunca le dieron la importancia que merecía dicho Sistema, de hecho, cada año le asignaban dinero en los presupuestos pero nunca llegaban o simplemente eran casi limosnas. Lo anterior es solo una aclaratoria sin ánimos de crear controversias políticas, solamente creo que es justo decirlo.

Con orgullo venezolano... saludos a todos

[gaiasoundandvision]

Such passion & joy for all to behold

The seeds of new life in great beauty unfold

[andressj17]

yo siempre he pensado y dicho que la musica es la medicina para el alma

[danielshon]

Grandioso Maestro Dudamel eres un gran orgullo de latinoamerica para el Mundo

[BiologyLabOne]

just incredible

[ThaFilioNevaHeard]

INCREIBLE GRACIAS !!

[loho174]

José Antonio Abreu inspires me..

[my10videos4u]

wonderful and amazing project not only for the children and their teachers but also for the families who can be proud.

the next music renaissance is happening in venezuela.

i need to go to venezuela someday.

[alejoeisabel]

@reinux

Too late it has already happened. These kids will have children of their own, some day in their future, and just imagine what they will produce, and how Venezuela will become a cultural superpower.

Plans are to triple music for poor children to one million students. A symphony orchestra in each village in Venezuela.

The work of Abreu started many years before there was an American hating president. As a matter of fact Abrae is a doctor in Economics and his work has nothing to do with Politics. The work he does is actually a good way of integrating poor children into a higher educated society and preserving capitalism. Unfortunately there were not more people like him sooner in that country to prevent what happened there. Great work maestro and god bless your work and these Venezuelan Children.

[cyberbratsche]

This is one of my favorite videos and - again - I cried - when I watched it today.......

It's my drug... all I want for my life..

[chesval]

Remarkable for an American hating dictatorship! But so were the athletes trained under Hitler and communist Russia and their own brand of "the system", to make it appear that socialism is the world's cure for, and antidote to capitalism. No wonder Scotland (the land of people tracking spies), and Canadian socialist transplants to the US (and itschurches) would look to this secular humanist type of model of music training and not see the problem. Socialism has no place in America or its churches.

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

@chesval Fox News Parrot. Sad. Have you looked lately at the pitiful state of America's kids?

[velinadiponzano]

Mr Abreu must get the Humanities or peace Nobel Prize! He has done a lot thing for young people to make them to stay far from the drugs and he teach them music. they are very talent musicians but they do not have much money to go to musical school.

[Dusty8417]

wow! So glad this was added. What a great high school talent. Gustavo Dudamel should be nominated for a Nobel prize for what he is doing..all we americans hear is negative about Venezuela not the positive things as this...bravo!

[cawobeth]

welcome to The US Gustavo Dudamel.

You're right, we need you !

there's nothing like music to celebrate life itself...

[AntonioStradivarius]

Dios!!!! Se me pusieron los pelos de punta!!! Sobretodo al final escuchando la 3era Sinfonia de Beethoven de manos de la orquesta y Gustavo Dudamel! Que viva Venezuela carajo! Ejemplo musical y social para el mundo!!!!

[luverlything]

I have never seen or heard an orchestra play with such passion!! What a truly amazing achievement. Bravo!!!!!!

[pwpg06]

@luverlything That is the way I remember Venezuelans..people with lots of passion for anything they did.. Outstanding!!!

[sinclairpurch]

I send this link to others because everyone needs a little inspiration. I am in awe of this achievement and the joy they bring to the world.

[SensieSanzashi]

Thank You Very Much! When are you coming to Canada, for to be at one of your performances would be, I'm sure, like being in Heaven!

[Pester09]

¡Felicitaciones!

[salsadance999]

what is the title of the song at 2:45

?

[JacobSteuer]

Tchaik 5, from the first movement

[theportalofhealing]

Absolutely brilliant! The El Sistema is so important to us all, we need to have this in the UK badly. It is clear for all to see the power and magic of music when it brings people together and enables those people to better at everything. Well done Jose Abreu!

[Baldinzinha]

Bravo José Antonio Abreu !!

Shoud have more like you !

[osadia13]

[dannyroll2]

[caijpp]

I remember seeing another documentary on this orchestra before...a life-changing two hours...

[who000are000you]

Thank you. Truly amazing work. "...towards a common goal..." Thank you for posting this.

[gggstars]

I am excited to hear about the other side of Venezuela.

Thanks for the video and the story.
