The refugee guitar maker

Outlook

Available for over a year

Patron Palushang has always loved to make musical instruments. And even though he had to flee from his home in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he kept on making guitars. He started his own business in a camp for displaced people in Malawi, earning himself the title of the 'Refugee Guitar Maker'. Patron and his family have just found a new home in the Australian city of Adelaide. On the line from there, he told Matthew about his childhood full of music in the DRC.
