Music's healing touch
Later this year, over 30 young people from Shillong and Lucknow will travel to Rio and experience the work of Afro Reggae first hand. In the heart of Rio, over 20 per cent of its population live in shantytowns or Favelas — the only place they can find a roof over their heads. Housing in the Favelas is illegal, lacks basic sanitation and life in it is dominated by organised cr ime. Young children grow up surrounded by drugs, guns, shoot-outs between the drug lords and police and often find themselves drawn to drug trafficking as a way to earn a living. Sporting a semi automatic rifle is macho and young boys armed with these enjoy the power vested in them by their masters — the drug lords. (18/05) MoreKeyword(s) : Live, Second-hand
