SOUND OF MUSIC by sangwann

SOUND OF MUSIC

Title borrowed from the famous film of the same name. This trio band was performing in Republic Street, Valletta – behind them you can see a plaque commemorating the laying of the first stone of a new block of buildings. A crowd of people was circling them but the music urged me to check out what was going on. Their beautiful multi-feathered folklore costumes and an inscription on a board they set up showed they came from somewhere in the Andes region of South America – very unusual for Malta, I must say. Their music with their cane instruments was so fantastically melodious.
how unusual. great theme image Dione

Beautifully captured shot with their native dress. I believe they are playing pan flutes which are common in the Andes. Very creative framing.

maybe they are playing their way around the world.

I love the sound of these instruments...can hear it coming out at me as I gaze into the details shared here. Very apt for the theme.

Lovely presentation. I've seen costumes similar to this on natives from Equador. I imagine there are many Indians in all those South American countries. I like the musical notes and framing.

Lovely photo Dione. Do you think it was Peruvian music? We often get a group like this playing in the shopping areas here and those are from Peru. Beautiful music too.

Thank you all sooo much for your lovely comments. I cannot say from where this trio comes but a notice they had put up (not in the picture) said something about the Andes Mountains.
