The
goal of
GCAR is to have a direct intervention
close to the Afro-Brazilian population, and
offer a cultural and artistic education that
reinforces positive interests, in an effort to
help young favela residents escape from the drug
traffic or under-employment. Music has been the
main tool used to attract youth to participate
in
GCAR.
The success of the band AfroReggae led
other youth to follow the same path, and today
there are several groups that are maturing.
AfroReggae has been working to bridge the abyss
that separates black from white, rich from poor,
certain that this is the only alternative that
might build a long-lasting peace.
