I just got the information of the TED prize winners 2009 and wanted to share here the wonderful job a maestro is doing connecting music, souls and adding hope to thousands of Venezuelan kids.
This is the kind of social action, mobilization, compassion that transforms lives and gives back dignity.

It all started with a tweet from Robert Squires. He sent me a funny video in YouTube and he said he was into so Brazilian fine tunes and if I had any suggestions…Well, I kept procrastinating, for it’s totally insane to make a playlist of Brazilian music, as there are so many fantastic singers and songs that I couldn’t even count for in a lifetime.
Networking again in the webheads group and I was answering an email from Robert Squires about Ning. Then, I just had an off topic moment telling him I was still thinking about the music playlist. Ronaldo, my great friend and wonderful sax player, replied saying he was in for the list. Great, I thought. Who would be better than Ronaldo for amazing Brazilian tunes. I added a page to the wiki we collaborate, BrazilBridges, and immediately after was Ronaldo there. To prove that passion leaves behind all kinds of procrastination, for I know how busy Ronaldo is right now!
I had a huge to-do list this morning. Forgot everything! Once I connected to last.fm, I spent the morning exploring my new passions and old ones, singing along, remembering, feeling uplifted, thinking how blessed I am to have been born in a country where music is everywhere, is part of our lives. Rythm, fine tunes, talents, wonderful beats…They give us the tone, the essence of who we are. I forgot about the other things I had to do. Happiness on a Friday morning is what counts!
I’m a proud Brazilian who loves these connections, networking, and sharing the best of what we have.
