Violinist Wuilly Arteaga, 23, holds up a donated guitar as he gives a free concert in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday, June 4, 2017. Appearances by the 23-year-old at anti-government protests almost ended when he and his instrument were dragged to the ground by a national guardsman. Videos of Areaga crying over his broken violin spread on social media, garnering an outpouring of sympathy. People donated cash to have the instrument repaired, others gave him old violins and Colombian pop star Shakira signed her autograph on a violin dedicated to the virtuoso. (AP Photo/Ariana Cubillos)
