The sounds of South America in the streets of Kazan

Being in Kazan city and walking over Bauman's street - the main pedestrian street, I found a group of musicians playing the melodies of the Andes and pampas.
They were one of the numerous strolling musicians from the South America. It was hard to say what country they were from, but the magic melodies and colorful dresses attracted the street walkers. I also stopped to listen their playing and make some pictures of this people.

Monmartre. Part 1. The faces.

It seems there is no necessity to talk much about the Monmartre. It is the landmark of Paris, the place where spirit of past days, years, and centuries still in the air. It is the place of artists, musicians, poets and writers, lovers, tourists and locals, and those who like old Paris and his history. And when you walk over the place you always meet people - they are all different - young and old, funny and sad, curious and ordinary. And all they together bring some unique charm to this magic place.
