Brazilian Orchestra medley
An evening pause: This appears to be a youth orchestra, but unfortunately everything on the webpage is in Portuguese, so I’m not sure.
Hat tip David Nudelman.
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Thanks Bob,
This is a youth orchestra based in one of most violent neighborhoods in the city of Recife, in the Northeast state of Pernambuco. This non-profit social organizations aims to help lift at risk children out of their environment of gangs and drugs. They attend a special school 5 hours per day. The organization has over 380 students. In this clip they are playing two bossa nova and samba classics at a reception for the Heads of State attending the BRICS conference (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) in Brasilia, the capitol of Brazil. Their youtube channel shows concerts around the world to this organization of mostly middle and working class youth.
I wish there was an edit function for comments!
