PUEBLA
...On the busy commercial streets, wherever money flows in the capital of Puebla there are musicians on every block trying to scrape by. 15) A family strolling, papá with trumpet, mamá with tambourine, and niños collecting tips. 16) A melody on guitar and mandolin by an elderly blind couple. 17) Down the street a saxophonist and drummer play a staccato danzón. 18) Still farther on sits a blind man playing maraca with his sighted wife playing guitar. 19) And yet another blind woman stands in the doorway of a stone building singing from her heart as people walk by her. Not realizing I had stopped to listen, she laughs as I thank her....La Música Callejera - Puebla
