Gloria Estefan and Emily Estefan have written the music and lyrics for the musical 'BASURA.'

BASURA(Spanish for “garbage”) will narrate the journey of Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra, a group of young artists who turn scrap material into instruments and music into possibilities. Based on the award-winning documentary Landfill Harmonic, BASURA brings the sound of Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra to the theater as a “heart-swelling reminder that even in the most unlikely places, you can build something beautiful,” according to a press release. Alex Lacamoire ( Hamilton, In the Heights) is the musical supervisor, orchestrator, and arranger; Patricia Delgado ( Buena Vista Social Club) the choreographer, and Ken Cerniglia ( Hadestown,Newsies) the dramaturg.
