"The music saved me. I'm sure of this. With all these bad things around you, you are exposed to these things, very close. The music give me a way to be far of these things," Dudamel says...Below is a 2007 performance of Dudamel conducting a stirring rendition from his homeland's Simon BolĂvar Youth Orchestra. (Dudamel has served as the Orchestra's artistic director for over a decade).
Asked if he feels like the ambassador of "the system," Dudamel tells (correspondent Bob) Simon, "In a good way, yes. I think that it's not Gustavo Dudamel. It's the Venezuelan system."
