Music? Discovered in weapons!

Watch how Artist, Pedro Reyes, turned instruments of hate into useful instruments that could help provide life and music, rather than take it away.

 

Reyes was inspired when government officials in Mexico turn seized weapons and melt them for the "Shovels for Guns" project. He decided to use weapons seized and destroyed by the Mexican army from drug cartels and use them as materials to create music.
