David Alvarez y Juego de Manos

David Alvarez y Juego de Manos played in Toronto last week. 

Nuit Blanche Toronto 2011

I came across these on my external hard-drive. Two videos from my wanders during Nuit Blanche last year.

Springtime in the city.

There was a beer commercial here quite a few years ago that said "in Toronto, there are two seasons: winter and patio". It is very true that as soon as spring arrives, people hit the streets. These two guys were playing on Queen St West.

Abakuá at Callejon Hamel

If you are in Havana, then go to Callejon Hamel on Sunday at noon. Abakuá is an Afro-Cuban secret society. These men is representing the dance of the Ireme at an Abakua ceremony.

(p.s. the video flips to landscape after a moment, you don't have to tilt your head left for very long)

Sometimes it snows in April

It happens almost every year. The trees are growing their leaves, the flowers are out, everyone thinks that spring is here to stay and then we have a cold snap just to remind us all that this is still Canada.

A beautiful song

Daffodils

After a grey winter, it is hard to resist the bright colours of the spring flowers.
