Un maestro y su grupo de estudiantes rescataron instrumentos musicales, remozaron un anfiteatro y revivieron la banda que dio fama a Aibonito, inspirados por el virtuoso saxofonista Miguel Zenón y el cineasta Gabriel Coss. El Departamento de Educación, que ya había abandonado la instrucción musical, acaba de reducir a la mitad su oferta de Bellas Artes en todo Puerto Rico.

The town that dreamed again about music

by |

Inspired by the virtuoso saxophone player Miguel Zenón and cinematographer Gabriel Coss, a teacher and a group of students set forth the task of rescuing musical instruments, renovating an amphitheater, and reviving the music band that made the town of Aibonito famous. The Department of Education of Puerto Rico, who had already abandoned music education, had just reduced even further the Fine Arts offer in the island.
