Another kind of .... callejoniada !!!




I heard another callejoniada going on around the block. I joined them and could observe a really interesting thing. There were some “macho” guys among them; they looked more like gang members in the United States. Long t-shirts, drag and drop jeans, baseball straight caps, shiny diamante earrings and the walk, yes, the walk….  

One of them spoke English so I asked him what was going on. He said that this is a family throwing a street party and they invited more people to come, most of them were around high school age. Usually the crowd follows the musical band and when they stop, the crowd starts dancing. What I could observe was that the guys dressed like gang members where not even moving, untouched by the music, the dance, the motion. They had to keep a status.

 I stood there observing that....




 ...even if the callejoniada is happening for  10, 15 years (according to John), if the ,,gang” effect would spread, callejoniada would really suffer great changes.... everybody would just: "chill"


Out there... continuing...
