Music performance in the street


To finish posts dedicated to Cracow, I would like to share with you my reflection about street musicians whom we can find so many there.

Cracow as a city is very well known from its unique atmosphere which attracts people from all over the world. One of the typical things that we can notice easily in the main square or nearby streets are amateur musicians playing different kind of instruments, from guitar to piano or even more like all groups of people who sing or dance in the street for fun and to enjoy time with their audience.
This kind of amusement in the main square allows people to be noticed and to promote their music which I think is really amazing. 

In this summer I have seen a guy or maybe I should say I have heard him playing the guitar so lovely that I could not get over  his music. He has a big talent, it is for sure, but what makes his music so marvelous for me is the fact that he usually plays a mix of Spanish and Arabic music, we can say it is an Andalusian mix of rhythm. At the end of the post I will put one of the videos which I recorded being there. So you will be able to judge it by yourself.

I remember one late evening when I was coming back home from work. It was a nice evening after a very hot day which exhausted us completely. I have to admit I was really tired, I needed to relax and suddenly I heard from a distance his guitar, yes, I already was sure that it was he playing the music. At that moment I could recognize his specific songs which only were playing by him. I really don’t remember what title has that song he was playing that evening but I love it so much, and I am going to let you hear it right now. So enjoy it! :D
