He’s a Q’anjob’al indigenous leader and a member of Prensa Comunitaria. He’s also director of the community radio station in Huehuetenango. He’ll tell us about how the Guatemalan government shuts down media it views as adversarial. Syrian clarinetist uses music to work for peace- Kinan Azmeh is a world renowned clarinetist.
