ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Carlos is one of 23 cellists in Buenos Aires city's youth orchestra located in Retiro where massive shantytown exists next to elegant tall buildings of the city centre. I have been working as "madrina" for the exchange program between young musicians to go abroad, the scholarships for continuing music educations in the city conservatoires for the children who want to go further with their music instruments. He is 19 years old and very quiet, but when he plays I feel what he went through and what he wants to become.
