La Paz Street Musicians, a photo from La Paz, North

Photographer's Note

There were many street performers in La Paz during my short visit there. It had a very festive feel. These colourful performers were accompanying a group of dancers.

Hi Kevin
An elegant capture of these men as they hit the perfect notes!
Fine musicians are playing the local flutes while continuing with their exquisite command of the instruments. You've done a grand job on this one, detailed, sharp, good vibrant colours and superb clarity. I like the close approach, full filled-frame in this lovely natural shot, exotic full of local flavor and soulful indeed, that elegant dress up all blended really well together. Excellent job as you have recorded the occasion perfectly and indeed I love thier the happy faces. TFS, Congrats.
Best regards

Hello Kevin,
These South American musicians are regular sights in the streets of Europe, and no doubt Canada too, but they do seem more "genuine" when actually performing in La Paz. It's a nice street-shot and I also like the glimpse of the life going on in the background, which proves that this is not Toronto or Stockholm.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Kevin,

Great picture of this traditional music band. They look wonderful in their traditional cloths. Great composition. The background into a local market add to the beauty of this picture.

A wonderful group photo of these characteristic musicians. I love the colours and the details in the costumes. A wonderful reportage/historical document. I can almost hear the music.

Warm regards

Hi Kevin,

You're capturing well these street musicians by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see musician wearing tradition clothes and hat. It's impressive in long whistle, too.
Have a nice week.

Kind regards,
mikio
