to be part of the show. Eye candy in every direction! I jumped in with a
twenty piece marching drum band and tranced around Plaza Dorrego, continuing up the street to Parque Lezama. At one point the band stopped and lit fires in the street to heat their tambors / congas. It was a spiritual experience - I can still hear the rhythmic beats in unison echoing off the cobblestones, waking up the ancestral spirits living under the city and warming the hearts of all who took part. San Telmo is well known for its Bohemian eccentricites, in the words of kindred artist Frida Kahlo I praise their joie de vivre "Viva el Vida!"
