Musical Interlude

Now that I've figured out how to upload videos to YouTube, here are some samplings of the kind of music I've heard in Trujillo.

First video: from left, this is our mission engineer and architect, and a couple guys from our local church. Gives an idea of traditional Peruvian folk music.




Second video: This is a concert that took place outside of Plaza Vea this Saturday morning, performed by a US Navy band. They were from the HSHS Comfort, a hospital ship docked in nearby Salaverry to do some charity work. The video is a bit grainy since it was taken on a cell phone by Ludwig Celiz - who coincidentally is the far left musician in the video above! You can hear me asking him to take pictures at the very end. This was such a New York moment, going grocery shopping and randomly stumbling into a brass band concert, which is why I have such a big smile on my face.

Note the sign and slogan for Plaza Vea: "Toda Cuesta Menos"!




And finally, this is a video I took a few months ago at our intern farewell party in May. The guitarrist is a local musician I don't know, but he was a whiz on the guitar.
