Children of different cultures share one thing: a love of music which is their source of joy and motivation. Carlito lives in Columbia and wants to play accordion in the "Vallenato" musical style that he grew up hearing.

Children around the world share a passion for music.  Lucumi, from Havana, has heard the drums all his life and dreams of becoming a great rhumbero.
