Participating of this event reminded me of Mardi Grass and as well of the Carnival of Negros y Blancos. It was a very participatory performance where people jumped to the streets to make music, noise, dance, and laugh. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/alombana\/8588909271\/\" title=\"la gozona, oaxacan marching band por vVvA, en Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8369\/8588909271_f543bda770.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"la gozona, oaxacan marching band\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/alombana\/8590008138\/\" title=\"military marching band por vVvA, en Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8529\/8590008138_abeb2a0712.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"military marching band\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/alombana\/8590007950\/\" title=\"popular and living myths por vVvA, en Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8530\/8590007950_6b4c3a054c.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"popular and living myths\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/alombana\/8590008032\/\" title=\"carnivalesque por vVvA, en Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8085\/8590008032_33bca51ebf.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"carnivalesque\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GWDq97u9z9E?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When musicians march in the streets people is happy.
