The STREET MUSIC Thread

This thread is dedicated to those musicians who play their heart and soul out on the street, often for free but hopefully for tips,.. but in anycase, they do it rain or shine, for the love of music whether they be solo performers or full ensembles, they do it because they love music and when we see them, it makes us smile....
now that cant be bad can it?

First up is a Ukraine (I think) band who play regularly inside the Paris Metro at Chatalet. Please feel free to add your favourites and lets try and give this thread a truly Global feel. I might add that I did not make any of these videos myself but my recent time spent working in Paris and my day to day experiences of such performers have made me wish to share this with you guys. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers to celebrating street musicians...don't forget to tip!
One of my favorites is this Chicago drum line, check out the speed from these cats!


Another one here from Frankfurt playing hang drums. I just recently found out about these drums and I am saving to get one. They cost around a grand but man you get a lot of sounds out of em'. Sweet syncopations....

Larry Wright from New York has got pure rhythm. It's unbelievable
