The population of Africa is growing rapidly. By 2050 25% of the world’s population will be African. Africa is young – the median age of Africans is 19. One of the many nonprofits working with these young Africans is the Hout Bay Music Project in South Africa. Hout Bay is a suburb of Cape Town and the residents there created the Hout Bay Music Project to educate both youth of the area, particularly the disadvantaged youth of the informal settlement in the wonders of music.
Here is a presentation the students of the music project gave along with Dutch violinist and conductor Andre Rieu. It’s an amazing concert – be sure to listen to the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsIuMLz1hkM&t=609s
