Music on the water

The theme of this month seems to be "water". Last night Mary and I were walking along the Welland Canal when we heard some music from the Andes. It turned out to be from the Welland Friday music series which always takes place on a stage built on the water of the recreational Welland canal.

People enjoyed the music in the late afternoon sun. The group from Ecuador played music from the Andean region (Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia). In the end they played their version of two songs from a popular Colombian singer, both were hits in Colombia when I was there during 2013. Some of the audience braved to dance; this couple gave a good show.

After the Latin American group we were entertained by a reggae band from Jamaica who played a lot of Bob Marley oldies. A nice unexpected evening of entertainment.
