They Shall Beat Their Swords Into ... Guitars?

The continuing civil war in Colombia gets some attention from time-to-time here in the U.S. Between the drug traffickers, the "left-wing" and "right-wing" guerillas and death squads, and a government that veers from repression to corruption and incompetence, it must be really tough to survive amidst such violence and chaos. But a story I read gives me some hope that there are some good people there who are trying to turn things around through the power of music.

Here's the article about how guns are being turned into guitars.
