“TO my dear Chinese friends: We are undergoing some very tough moments, but please do try to relax your mind. This song, named Hope, is written for all of you. Take good care of yourself!” said Angelo Castagneto in his most recent video. 

Angelo Castagneto

Castagneto is from Ecuador. Six years ago, he joined a renewable energy company in Shenzhen. Life was comfortable and work was stable, but he felt that it was not the kind of life he really wanted.  

Inspired by his passion to music and a personal health crisis, he later quitted his job to establish a workshop for music therapies. “I have had a very strong impulsion to establish my own business after coming to Shenzhen, and I hope to combine my passion with the desire to help people relax minds and relieve stress. Therefore, I have positioned my new occupation as a music therapist,” said Castagneto. 

He believes that music can cross national boundaries to heal and cheer people up regardless of their languages. His latest work, Hope, is written for all Chinese people. He hopes that all Chinese people can keep positive and continue to make concerted efforts to combat novel coronavirus pneumonia.

“我亲爱的中国朋友们 

我们正在经历一些困难的时刻

但是请你一定要放松情绪

这首曲子Hope是为你们写的

请照顾好自己！”

“深呼一口气，

想一想你最感恩的人，

最感动的事……”

齐心协力抗击疫情！

关于创作者

六年前，来自厄瓜多尔的安杰罗成为深圳一家再生能源公司的新员工，虽然工作生活都挺安逸，但骨子里不安份的他总感觉这并不是他想要的人生。

儿时对音乐的热爱和曾经遭遇的一次健康危机令安杰罗萌生了创立“音乐治疗工作室”的念头：

“到了深圳，我对创业有一种特别强烈的冲动，希望将我的爱好与帮助更多人舒缓心情、排解压力结合起来，我把自己的新职业定位成音乐治疗师。“

每到一些重要时间节点，安杰罗都会原创一些曲子，用音乐这一跨越国界的世界语言传递正能量。
