MADRID - One million Spanish guitars in favor of vulnerable minors worldwide, starting from the Middle East, is the idea behind an initiative launched by Israeli song-writer David Broza. The musician founded the NGO 'One million guitars' to offer over the next five years scholarships, together with an instrument and music manual, to children whose families cannot afford to give them a musical education.

''Children will have their own guitar to start playing, to get to know their soul and cultivate art which is the future for everyone'', explained David Broza, quoted by Spanish media.

The young musicians will have access to material to train online, with tutorial videos by high-profile artists. The Israeli song-writer, who lived in Spain when he was young, recorded albums in Spanish and translated into Hebrew songs by Catalan song writer Joan Manuel Serrat in the 1980s, launched the project 'One million guitars' to ''inspire future generations so they can improve the world''.
