In the second episode of Young Musicians for Social Justice, we chat with Natalia Luis-Bassa and Verónica Urrego about El Sistema and Sistema Scotland. Both Natalia and Verónica grew up in Venezuela and their musical careers began in El Sistema, and we chat to them about the roots of El Sistema, how it has changed and developed, and where it might go in the future.

This podcast is co- hosted by Rebecca Ward and Holly Jackson.
