dk: 在臉書裡看到這催淚的故事﹐開始逆向追查 ...
最初是由 人助旅行 10/16 所貼﹐
垃圾樂器演奏交響樂 ﹖這是個瘋狂的笑話 -
但是他們做到了 ﹗
【掩埋場交響樂團】
在南美洲巴拉圭一個叫Cateura的地方，有一個蓋在垃圾掩埋場上的貧民窟，居民以撿垃圾維生。
在這裡，樂器是一個奢侈品，一把小提琴比一棟房子還貴，沒有人負擔的起。直到有一天，有人在垃圾堆裡發現了一把小提琴的殼，他們開始自製垃圾回收樂器：用各式各樣的垃圾製造出小提琴、大提琴、豎笛。
當油桶做成的大提琴拉出巴哈大提琴無伴奏前奏曲的悠揚樂音時，他們，不再是垃圾了！⋯⋯
「我們希望人們不要再隨意丟棄垃圾..... 也不要隨意放棄任何一個人。」
「世界把垃圾送到我們這裡來，我們把音樂送出去。」

實在很催淚﹐所以我繼續查下去﹐希望瞭解更多 ...
故事是從拉丁美洲最窮的貧民窟之一開始。在巴拉圭首都亞松森外的Cateura區﹐那是垃圾掩埋場﹐人們住在垃圾海中。靠垃圾生存。每天﹐數以噸計的垃圾由卡車載來﹐人們蜂擁而上﹐尋找有用的東西﹐來維持他們的生計。
The story develops in one of the poorest slums in Latin America. Just outside Asuncion, Paraguayans capital; Cateura is the city’s trash dump. It is built on a landfill. Here, people live in a sea of garbage. And they live from garbage. Every day, tons of rotting detritus spill from trucks and people swarm over it to pick the pieces of trash that are their livelihood.
當地的人們可能是窮人中的窮人﹐但是他們以這貧民窟充滿生氣而為榮。家庭的臍帶相連﹐對抗和友誼都很強烈。
The people of Cateura may be the poorest of the poor but they are proud and the life of their slum is vibrant. Family bonds, rivalries and friendships are intense.
圍繞故事四週的是毒品-暴力﹐酗酒及窮困﹐他們費了極大的努力﹐去再肯定他們的人生及尊嚴。
Surrounded by stories of drug-violence, alcoholism and destitution, they make herculean efforts to reaffirm their life and dignity.
數年前﹐垃圾場的拾荒者之一 “Cola” (圖左)﹐一個未受教育的天才﹐與當地的音樂家 Favio Chavez 合作﹐替平民窟的孩子們製作樂器。那裡沒錢買樂器﹐所以他們用垃圾來作樂器 - 用油桶做的大提琴﹐鋁盒做的小提琴﹐水管做的長笛與薩克斯風﹐圓鐵盒及條版箱木頭做的吉它。
A few years ago, one of the garbage pickers, “Cola”, an untutored genius of the slum, got together with local musician Favio Chavez to make instruments for the children of the slum. There was no money for real instruments so together they started to make instruments from trash – violins and cellos from oil drums, flutes from water pipes and spoons, guitars from packing crates.
在孩子們及許多貧民窟中人的支持下﹐當地音樂家 Favio Chavez (圖左)慢慢的湊成了一個世界上最異樣的交響樂團。它完全是由垃圾做成。他們叫它“(環保)回收交響樂團”
With children like Ada and Tania and with the support of many in the slum, Favio slowly put together one of the world’s most unlikely orchestras.
It is entirely made of garbage.
They call it “The Recycled Orchestra”.
樂團 Chavez 查維茲是5年前在這裡的垃圾掩埋場﹐認識了這些孩子及他們的家庭。在這地區40%的孩子未能完成學業﹐因為他們家裡需要他們去工作。身為一個環保工程師﹐但具有音樂背景﹐一日﹐他決定教音樂來幫助這些孩子們。這想法當初只是純粹的讓這些孩子們不要在掩埋場裡戲耍。
About The Orchestra Chávez got to know these kids and their families over 5 years ago while working on a waste recycling project at the landfill of Cateura. In this area more than 40% of children don’t finish school because their parents need them to work. Being an environmental engineer but with a musical background, one day he decided to help the children by teaching them music lessons. The idea was simply to keep the kids from playing in the landfill.
剛開始很困難﹐因為沒有練習場地﹐我們只好在﹐孩子們家長工作的﹐同樣的掩埋場內內教他們。查維紫說﹐孩子們對音樂一無所知﹐而且很難聯絡到家長﹐因為很多的家長不與孩子們住在一起。
“At first it was very difficult because we had no place to rehearse and we had to teach in the same place where the parents were working in the trash,” said Chávez. “The children knew nothing about music and it was very difficult to contact parents because many of them do not live with their children.”
終於﹐家長們開始看到﹐演奏音樂可以使他們的孩子不致麻煩生事﹐有些甚至重新接納他們先前放棄的孩子。
Eventually, parents began to see that playing music was keeping their kids out of trouble, some even reclaiming children they had previously abandoned.
很快的﹐學音樂的孩子多過樂器﹐所以查維茲及尼古拉斯"可樂"Nicolas “Cola”﹐一個垃圾場的拾荒者﹐用掩埋場的材料來做實驗。弦樂器及管樂器是用油桶﹐叉子﹐瓶蓋﹐及所有在週圍能找到的東西。“最終﹐這些再生樂器改進了﹐在很多例子﹐它們比那中國的木質樂器音效更好﹐更能讓孩子們用”
Soon there were more children wanting lessons than there were instruments, so Chávez and Nicolas “Cola” one of the garbage pickers experimented with making some out of recycled materials from the landfill.
String and wind instruments are made with oil tin cans, forks, bottle caps, and whatever is around.
“Eventually the recycled instruments were improved, and in many cases, they now sound better than the wooden Made In China instruments the more able children play on.”
再生樂器更有一個實際的效用:孩子們能安全的攜帶。"對很多孩子們來說﹐不可能給孩子們小提琴讓他們帶回家﹐他們沒有地方放﹐而且家長會耽心會被搶走﹐或是樂器被變賣去買毒品"
The recycled instruments serve another, more practical purpose: The kids can safely carry them. “For many children, it was impossible to give them a violin to take home because they had nowhere to keep it and their parents were afraid they would be robbed or the instrument would be sold to buy drugs.”
這個樂團沒沒無聞了好多年﹐直到這短片出現在網路上﹐觸發了很多社會媒體﹐改變了這狀況 (注﹕短片是在2012後期上網)。“過去7個月發生的事情﹐超過了過去7年的事”。從那後﹐樂團去過很多地方﹐而且我們也快完成了我們的電影﹐這計劃是配合電影公開的事件﹐影展及首映及樂團的歐美及各地之旅。
The Orchestra had remained unheard of for many years. The launching of the Landfill harmonic short teaser on the Internet triggered a social media events that changed this. “More things have happened in the last 7 months, than in the last 7 years on our lives”. Since then, the Orchestra has traveled to many places and soon, as we are getting close to finishing our movie, the plans are to align the release, festival and premieres of the film with a tour of the Orchestra in the U.S., Europe and other countries as well.
樂團從只有幾位團員擴展到超過35人。他們最近的出名﹐讓社區的家長及孩子們大趕興趣﹐很多孩子們加入音樂班。這當地的音樂學校﹐還沒有他們自己的校舍﹐但已經在對超過200名以上的孩子們教授音樂﹐及教他們如何製作再生樂器。
The Orchestra has grown from just a few musicians to over 35. Their recent fame have peak the interest of the families and children of the community in such way, that many children are now enrolling for music classes. The music school of Cateura, does not have their own building yet, but teaches music and how to build recycled instruments to more than 200 kids of the landfill.

網路查到的最早中文報導是 音樂魔法屋 去年與上述新聞同時轉載
TEDx Austin 邀請他們去表演﹐並請小提琴家用垃圾小提琴場演奏

Landfill Harmonic - My way (cierre Tedx)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--dJf81pKCo
你若知道這首歌的歌詞﹐那麼對這些孩子的逆爭上游﹐更會有所感。
甘乃迪中心也表演過(看是在副廳) 2013/08/27
只有部份團員﹐非全員到席。
這是快結束時﹐一個女團員自己下臺與人共舞(猜是巴拉圭駐美大使)
不知是否是事前安排﹐但是一切看來都很自然。
結束時﹐拿出旗來揮舞﹐高喊萬歲-VIVA。不知道巴拉圭以前﹐是否曾有人在甘乃迪中心表演過 ﹖
如果沒有﹐這群垃圾場來的樂團卻做到了。
這是全場1小時的表演﹐聯結內可可完整看到﹐頗精彩的。

他們的故事在2012/11/30網上披露之後﹐廣為報導﹐獲得不少支持﹐相關連的直接網站就有4個 ....
但這中間卻有著學問 - 沒有一個是他們自己的。
Recycle Orchestra (再生交響樂團) 是真正的當地教學﹐製作樂器﹐及演出的孩子們﹐
但樂團本身目前還沒有自己的網站﹐來介紹自己的人事﹐或直接接受捐款與贈品。
拍片﹐捐款､宣傳﹐網站﹐贈樂器﹐演出安排﹐一切都有人代勞。甚至想當志工﹐都無法直接聯絡。
所以我們也無法知道他們的進程﹐去過那些地方﹖獲贈樂器有多少 ﹖學校是否有自己的場地﹖ 孩子們的環境是否有改善所﹖受惠的孩子是否有增加﹖只能從新聞﹐網路影片﹐臉書片段自己去拼湊。

Landfillharmonic是當初的拍片團隊﹐現在已擴大成為推動這社會運動的組織
要用類似的模式﹐幫助更多的窮困地區受惠。現在所有事情要經過它。
它的三大目標 - 完成影片﹐推廣社會運動﹐世界巡迴演出。

Creativevisions是指定的捐款公司﹐這公司是非營利的類似經紀代理公司。
受款人是誰﹖- Landfillharmonic﹐由他們來支配
http://www.creativevisions.org/
Kickstarter則是辦過一次募款活動﹐方法也很怪異﹐在特定時間內﹐設定捐款目標﹐達到目標則獲應允之捐款﹐未達目標則一分錢都沒有。 (我不了解其獲利模式﹐估計現在已被 Creativevisions 取代。)

dk: 我有兩個疑問 -
捐款真正的付給受益人的百分比是多少 ﹖這裡指的是 從Creativevisions 付給 Lanfillharmonic
受益者真正交付當地再生樂團又是多少 ﹖從Landfillharmonic 交付給 Recycle Orchestra
(注:看過太多狗屁倒灶的內幕 - 像是捐100元﹐只有1元給了真正的捐贈對象。這年頭﹐慈善､公益､非營利組織﹐往往在有心者的運作下﹐把自己變做了肥貓﹐雖然目前應該還不至於如此﹐但人怕出名豬怕肥 ....)
真心的祝福他們順利成長。 |
