Welcome to EL Niño
The town trembles…..
There’s something in the air.
Out of the blue the sound of ..... drums. Loud beats fall as soft Spring rain on the stones of the streets.
We’re going to find the sound that’s getting louder and louder. The drums beat the rhythm and we follow. Through alleyways and via squares. Until we find a rain of sounds after the next corner. Stirring and loud, friendly but rousing, the music takes us to different worlds.
For a moment, the here and now is blurred. Everything seems to be forgotten.
Only the rhythm lasts....
It’s El Niño, raging through the streets.
