As El Salvador headed into lockdown, Armonia Cuscatleca's staff and teachers knew they had to find a way to encourage creativity and artistry during this difficult time.

"[The trainers] kept telling me that I was important. That made me come a bit closer to other people. I was trained and I became a community music leader, then I started to help children that felt like me."

“For three years, during the repopulation of the area, they had no school,” Marna recalls. “Families from the rural areas lost most of their income, and could no longer bring their children to the school in town. The families were very concerned, so they came together to solve the problem. They found a group of four teachers to start a small school for the community, and I was one of them.”

Hometown shows seem like a given for any new band. But up until recently, that wasn't how it worked in Mitrovica, Kosovo.
