I just had to take a photo of this striking albino woman. | |
Farther down the steps were these African drummers. The lead drummer is in the white tee shirt. He was incredibly talented. | |
After a moment, the white guy who plays the trap set (i.e., not hand drums, but drums like Tom's) joined them. | |
After a while they took a break, and the lead drummer moved over to the steps, where he takes up a large gourd type of percussion instrument -- we don't know what it was exactly, but it sounded like it had seeds inside and it has a long wooden stem. | |
This appeared to be a group of students, a couple of whom were probably American. They were singing and playing some kind of primitive native American or African folk songs. Very catchy. | |
Always, there are mimes at work on Montmartre on Sundays. | |
