cimbalom kings, a photo from Madrid, Madrid

Photographer's Note

Madrid - Calle del Carmen.
intorno a Puerta del Sol c'erano molti artisti di strada, tra cui questi due suonatori di "cimbalom" (o cembalo ungherese).
era una bella serata e i due musicisti non si sono lesinati - in un fluire continuo di brani hanno sicuramente suonato per venti minuti consecutivi, senza perdere ne' il ritmo ne' tantomeno l'entusiasmo...

Madrid - Calle del Carmen.
it was a nice evening a couple of weeks ago in Madrid and many street musicians were performing around Puerta del Sol - like these two cimbalom players.
they were not only good but also generous players - I didn't exactly check my watch but I am sure they played at least twenty minutes without stopping, mixing different tunes and alternating each other in their passionate solos...

Hello Cristina,
I could more or less tell from the face of the man in the middle that he plays well. There is such intensity in his eyes and mouth that shows that he is fully absorbed by the music. He has a very expressive body-language, to say the least. I don't know what the other player is doing at this moment but he certainly takes full part in the music in his way.
Thanks for sharing this fine street-shot.
Regards,
Gert

Ciao Cristina
si vede che i due personaggi sono molto concentrati e attenti, ottima foto, come sempre.
Sempre attenta e pronta a cogliere l'attimo giusto.
Buona domenica

buon pomeriggio
I love the concentration on the central gentleman's face. The other two men's focus on the main man is a nice touch. Well composed.
Kevin

hi Cristina

The player is in his world, concentrated, taking attention to what he is doing, not to miss a note. It's not fun for him, under the supervision of the other player at rest for the moment and a tourist.
Have a good sunday.
