Live art from west end mural

By @paulatikay and @a_n_e_r from Chile and assistance by @alapinta who had that cool car parked outside. They were using the car to play some music as they worked across the street. (They are recording this as well so I sure they will be posting it on their accounts)

It;s dedicated to Violeta Parra; who to be honest is someone that I never heard of before. She was a ‘Chilean composer, songwriter, folklorist, ethnomusicologist and visual artist’ – according to Wikipedia. It’s the 100th anniversary of her birth this year.

I had a different shot of a dog looking down at them from the top of the building but it had cars in front on the mural.

I was also going to post a throwback today.. but as @alan_chakota let me know.. every picture on social media is a throwback..(until they learn how to take pictures of the future.. ohhh.)
