Episode 45: Music - The Other Immigrant From Home
Álvaro landed as a refugee to Canada over 30 years ago. His love of home and love of music did not wane, and in fact, became a part of his integration into a new world of music he had yet to experience. Hear how music brought him new neighbours, how music was a part of his childhood in El Salvador and how music provided him warmth and comfort even when things were really difficult. Music integrates and adjusts, mourns and celebrates, remembers and looks ahead - just like we do. And it never leaves us - no matter where we go.
