 This is a guest post by Valentino Barrioseta, I suggested the idea to post
 it on my blog because I thought it deserved something be known to the
 world and of course, told by its creator. History of Bridges for Music
 [http://issaved.com/ itunes fixer]
 "Last winter I was fortunate to visit two of the most beautiful cities in
 the world, Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro.
 These two cities have much in common. Besides energy, light and natural
 beauty, electronic music is playing a very important social role in less
 developed communities. Specifically in the favela of Rocinha and the
 townships around Johannesburg and Cape Town.
 This helped me to reconnect with the real reason I started working on the
 music.
 As I once said Richie Hawtin, often to make music work we forget the true
 values ​​that initially motivated us to work on this and it should not be
 allowed. Normally all started because music makes us feel and I will tell
 you why again felt something special with the music.
 In both cities visit the most underdeveloped areas (favelas in Rio and
 townships in Cape Town) and found out how far you can get electronic music
 and how positive it can be for a community with little means nothing
 today. I was fortunate to meet Zezinho a brasileiro who had returned from
 Canada to set up a school in his beloved djs favela in Rio. Although life
 as a dj and outside their country has won, thought it was a good idea to
 go back and help the next generation.
 In Cape Town I attended a party held every Sunday at a bar called Mzolis
 in the center of Gugulethu. Mzolis is a bar there for 30 years and every
 Sunday where the locals gather to roast meat and music. What was my
 surprise when I saw that there was a house dj spearing a lot of quality at
 120 bpm. I stared at pictures and listening to music in a place so far
 from the modern world and immediately popped into my head the idea of
 ​​teaching in that European artists, to connect two seemingly different
 worlds but united by music tremendously. I started researching and I
 interviewed local artists who explained to me their personal experiences
 and the movement that had been generated around the deep house, with
 artists like Black Coffee and new generations of artists as Culoe de Song
 or Jullian Gomes. You could say that the deep house is THE SOUND of
 townships. All I heard seemed so interesting and authentic I decided to
 record a documentary to reflect this experience and the contrasts of a
 city where house music has gotten back together people of different races
 after the Apartheid policy separate. Listen to local artists explaining
 how music has become a vehicle of integration and motivation was really
 special and I think something to communicate to the world.
 See the enthusiasm with which people received only tell me it came from
 Ibiza made ​​me think about the "easy" it can be many things when you're
 in the right place and have the contacts and how extremely difficult it
 can be when not you have. So I thought about creating a platform that will
 connect these areas with other areas of the world, contruyendo bridges for
 music.
 That's how the idea came Bridges for Music, a platform on which I am
 working and I hope will be released soon. "Isra Joins Bridges and Supports
 for Music
 It is a real pleasure for me to communicate that I am an active part of
 this project, developing and operating all the online part. 1.000% Support
 this initiative and will work alongside Valentino nights that are needed
 to make it happen. Bridges for Music is probably the reason that leads me
 to South Africa next November. Currently, Valentino has done something
 happen.
 This is what I mean when I talk about making something happen and create
 change that helps people. We can not do it alone, we need you.
