Amazing People Contributing to Colombia’s Peace: César López

The story of César López will be the first of my stories basically because he’s my friend and I really admire his absolute dedication to the cause. He’s a 40-year old musician who is one of the most intense activists seeking ways on how to eradicate the violence that has plagued our country Colombia for more than 50 years.



His contribution to peace in our Country is huge. He has dedicated the last 10 years of his life on delivering music through his “Escopetarras”, which are decommissioned AK-47s converted into guitars. But this is not all, he also created the 24-0 initiative (Twenty four hours with zero violent deaths) which is held in October every year in Colombia, and it’s expanding all over Latin America now.


Here are some videos with his story:
