QuinTango and Sonidos Para La Vida offered a free concert in Antigua Guatemala

Last Tuesday the renown quintet QuinTango and Sonidos Para La Vida, an organisation with young musicians, offered a free concert at the atrium of Iglesia La Merced.

QuinTango is a classical musical quintet that performs and promotes tango music all over the world. There’s a video below that explains more about them and shows some of their musical performances.

Sonidos Para La Vida is a non-profit organisation created to change the life of young kids through music. Mainly they work with public schools that do not have musical programs or classes, especially in rural areas. Their goal is to provide better opportunities to kids who live in risky areas through the power of music.

As part of QuinTango’s tour through Guatemala they offered violin lessons to the students of Sonidos Para La Vida a few days this free concert. Below you can watch a couple of their performances.

Here’s an introductory video explaining who Quintango.
