Picture
Monday, June 23, 2014

Kabul, Afghanistan


Musicians from Cuatro Puntos to join forces with the students of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music to perform as part of a ground-breaking collaborative concert in the middle of a dangerous war zone.

Afghanistan Outreach 2014
Afghanistan National Institute of Music

Picture
Two members of Cuatro Puntos are being sent by the United States Embassy to teach at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul for 4 weeks in 2014. 

The Afghanistan National Institute of Music was founded in 2009 to help rebuild the musical culture of the country after many years where all types of music were entirely banned under an oppressive regime. The school primarily educates street kids- those who previously sold items on the streets to support their families. These students are given the opportunity to receive a rounded education, centered in music. The musicians of Cuatro Puntos are honored to have been selected to be a part of this important work rebuilding a war-torn country through music.
