these gentlemen, most probably of mexican roots, serenaded diners @ san pedro's ports-of-call open restaurant with the song 'cielito lindo'- the song brings back fond memories of my college days as we were each required to sing it for the spanish 4N finals....oh yeah i passed!! the other thing is, i clearly 'see' penelope cruz when i hear this song which runs.....

de la sierra morena
cielito lindo, vienen bajando
un par de ojitos negros
cielito lindo, de contrabando (x2)

(refrain)
ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones (x2)

ese lunar que tienes cielito lindo
junto a la boca
no se lo des a nadie
cielito lindo que a mi toca.

siempre que te enamores
mira primero, mira primero
donde pones los ojos
cielito lindo, no llores luego (x2)

repeat refrain 2x..and fade......

Hi Benedict
I like the picture but I think it will look better if you crop the righ hand side until you reach the singer.
Just my opinion

Hi Benedict, This looks so authentic and with lots of local flavor. I would not mind dining here and being serenaded. Well captured with good tech details. Good work 'bro. Danilo

love the sharpness of the picture..as well as the colors...good job on this one..

oh.i remember my HS instructor singing this song back then.

This one sure looks busy with so much happening all around. Some are busy playing the instruments some are simply playing with each other! So much life and action here. indeed well seen. very well composed.

Nice one Benedict. Very good with this daily life shot. Very sharp and good colors. Well done. Sothy

Hello benedict!

Nice compo and DOF, but I think is very distracting the couple in the front, specially having that white t-shirt and just in the middle... :-(

Hello, Benedict.
I love this shot. You have great composition with the musicians wearing that striking red and black. Even with that wide window behind them you got good contrast and detail on the musicians. Well done!!

These guys sound playing & coronas are great, but the margarita in the background will do.

Hi Benedict,
I LOVE this song!
These gentlemen don't look like mexican and.... I don't understand why people don't sing with them :))))
Very good colours!
Have a nice we!
Alberto
