If ever a population needed El Sistema, it is the children of Haiti!

Such a beautiful program!

If Chavez had done nothing else, his full backing of El Sistema would merit him a place in history. José Antonio Abreu is a genius in the field of education, equal to the geniuses who wrote the music that these children play so well, with such fire.

Maybe Haiti's U.S. State Department-elected president will redeem himself with this. Bringing El Sistema to Haiti! Wow! Kudos and laurel wreaths for that!
