The two weeks in Africa taught us a lot, even tough we are all from different parts of the world I think we have the same ideas, connections, and direction; we have the power to change lives. I really appreciate everything that the [Berklee] Global Jazz Institute has taught me; I’m learning a lot, this is a dream come true for me. — Carlos Capacho, Venezuela
