The project
In December 2019, musicians and songwriters from Central America and Colombia gathered for workshops on promoting and respecting human rights, mentored by three award-winning international songwriters and producers: KC Porter, Iker Gastaminza and Rodolfo Castillo. The songs were written, produced and recorded in five days in improvised studios at the camp in Guatemala. A network of songwriters and human rights activists was born from this experience and is still active.
Why it matters
A song can explain a right better than a leaflet, because people remember it and share it. The camp combined workshops on human rights with mentoring from producers with international careers, so participants left with a finished piece and the craft to make the next one.
