File details

In a backstreet of the colonial town of Oaxaca stands a local family playing traditional Mexican music to an eclectic group of enthusiastic passer-bys. The father seems to be leading the musical band of four and stands proudly at the back against a grey brick wall. He sports a white cowboy hat and blows on a harpsichord whilst strumming his acoustic guitar. On his right hand side stands his oldest son dressed in similar attire strumming a much larger guitar that looks more like a cello. On the left of shot there is the middle son who unenthusiastically leans in the corner again dressed in a beige cowboy hat a checkered shirt and dark torusers. He is playing a plastic wind instrument which also appears to have some kind of keyboard. In front of these three stands the youngest of the group. The young child wears a checkered blue and white shirt and seems to be shputing and gesturing at the passing trade for tips or propinas. The ground below them lies empty and dusty in the shade.
