Playing For Change Foundation now supports 2 music programs in Patagonia, Cinco Saltos and Paso Córdoba/Neuquén.

Our work in Cinco Saltos started in 2017 through a partnership with the municipality, and since then has transitioned to a music program hosted at two different locations in Cinco Saltos and El Arroyón. The program began as an artistic and cultural alternative to help counterbalance social issues among youth. Since 2018 over 70 students are attending the program where they’re given an opportunity to learn guitar, percussion, vocals, hip-hop, key-boards and participate in regular audio recording and art workshops.

Then in 2022 the program was extended to a place on the outskirts of the city called “El Arroyón” where, teachers and students with the support of the local community built a 50-square-meter space where about 25 students attend each week.

This program has a team of 8 experienced teachers who lead creative musical activities every week, in 2 locations where these kinds of opportunities are tremendously lacking.
