Two videos from a trip to Patzcuaro

Posted in Travel at 11:39 am

I’m posting these two videos, one was a visit at night to the market for tacos, just loved this guy and the other a visit to the cemetery where I was fascinated by the woman holding the candle and the singing of this song. No action but something about the lost life of the person who they were burying and the attempt of this woman to keep her flame going struck me.

Last night sitting outside the cafe, listening the Claudio playing on of my favorite songs by Silvio Rodriguez, Te doy una canción, rain pouring down as we sat mezerized by this dynamic singer. I called him the Robin Williams of music. His rhythm, voice, guitar playing, everything was so right on that I could not get enough, couldn’t move, just wanted to sit and take it all in. Going back tonight no matter the weather.
