Favio Hernán Chávez Morán (born December 5, 1975[1]), is an Argentinian[2] musician, environmental technician,[3] and director of the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, since 2012.

[6] He worked as an environmental educator of the program "Procicla", of NGOs "Alter Life" and "Geam", in the Cateura landfill of Asunción, since February 2006 and resigned in March 2007.

[7] He integrated the first set of recycled instruments, created by idea of Luis Szarán, along with five other young people from Carapeguá; which was first presented at Oxford University in March 2008.

[8] At the suggestion of Szarán, the group "Los Reciclados" of Carapeguá was also created,[9] which Chavez directed until he was dismissed from "Sounds of the Earth" in October 2011.

[11] In November 2012, the production of "Landfill Harmonic" launched a new promotional teaser, omitting any mention of "Sounds of the Earth" and Luis Szarán.
