Piano Circus

Writer: philoggukphilogguk

In Valparaiso, Chile, you don't have to take the piano up the staircase - the piano is the staircase ;)

Oh, yeah, the Rough Guide. Thanks! I’ve heard their salsa album, but not the cumbia, although I’ve probably heard all the contents because cumbia is the ubiquitous soundtrack on buses, at festivals, weddings, baptisms (yes, those are an occasion to kick up heels too), etc., etc....:)

Ahhhh, it's the point! All of that work and happy times but those shows were never properly recorded! I've got bits & pieces on CDs. Never mind, it's good to look forward - it will return! Actually this livestream business isn't dissimilar, just without the guests... Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator... :))

A great piece of street art. These pictures of steps sent me on a Google search for the world's longest staircases . Some amazing examples came up.

Pilgrimage! You could merge some piano audio with some accurate jumping around the steps. Nice murals...lots of murals. This looks daunting if one were to have, say, an all-night salsa/cueca dancing injury. It’s a good thing there are all those funiculars. I hear about this filmmaker from an interview with a mom unschooling/worldschooling her son as they traveled Latin America. This is the filmmaker‘s promo for a puppet show (a term totally lacking for expressing what you will see) in Valparaíso and throughout South America, land of el realismo mágico https://youtu.be/3WSU5N2pwvA

Thanks, more lovely listening! This was the CD that single-handedly introduced me to Cumbia :) https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/music/audio-cd/various-artists-the-rough-guide-to-cumbia/0605633104325?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhP2BBhDdARIsAJEzXlFK3ZvnTY51qd6l21z8G8zsYtbc4AkG5Q-NQ-0uHxKbPQcrlplF0lsaAgJMEALw_wcB Sorry there's not much info there - when I locate my copy, I'll send you the track list!
