While the pandemic was spreading in 2020, a group of students at Montemorelos University in Mexico came up with an idea to minister through music in their Adventist church and the community.
Students Nivardo Castillo and Israel Esparza, both enrolled in music programs at different universities, formed a musical ensemble called Youth Quarantine Music (YQM) to record and share free music. Today, they have more than 30 students from high school, college, and a local church who are part of the initiative.
“The mission of this group is to bring peace, a smile, and reflection through music and artistic expression to so many people who have been affected in these times,” Castillo, one of the founders of YQM, said. Castillo is studying music with an emphasis on music education at Montemorelos University.
