You don't need a CD player...
You don't need CD's plates...
You don't need a sound system...
You don't need sound speakers....
Why?
Because there are people with their guitars who will sing from one food stall to another food stall and ask for money. So, while you are enjoying your food, you also can enjoy listening to your live music ;)

ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of live music because I feel awkward having someone singing at me while I'm walking, eating, shopping, etc. That said, I might enjoy it as a fine accompaniment to street food in Jakarta.
ReplyDeleteNeat! I love these photos!
ReplyDeletequestion: have you met a really terrible street singer?
ReplyDeletethere's a lot of singing beggars in singapore, too, but they all have such great voices, sometimes I wonder if it's real!
Selba, your black and white photos are really extraordinary. Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteso they can sing any song?

I love learning about the food and people of your country. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! I can almost hear him playing!
ReplyDeleteGosh it's been ages since I came round here.
ReplyDeleteAnywhere in the world, where there is food and people who eat it, there are people who play music for money.
There aren't as many pengamens here in Bali. It's a good thing that the tourists aren't annoyed, but you're right in that it takes away some of our national culture. Anyway, regards from Bali!
ReplyDeleteGreat feature, nice to have live music playing in the back ground.
ReplyDeletewao... nice, is like back to 70t. Btw, at our place here we call them tukang nyanyi. As for your information, we don't have that at our place. Our tukang nyanyi is only sitting while not moving.
ReplyDeleteI really love seeing all about your culture, it is very fasinating! The pictures are great also:)
ReplyDeletepam: Thanks and I’m honored that you love learning about the food and people of my country :)

wiccan wonder: Hello there, thanks for dropping by my blog. Ah, yes, I’ve encountered pengamens when I had dinner at the Jimbaran beach :)
ReplyDeletelaveena: Hahaha… sometimes is not in the back ground but directly in front of you or beside you ;)
steven goh: Here in Indonesia, tukang nyanyi is penyanyi, which is a term for a singer :)
sarah: Glad to share and thanks for your compliment, Sarah :)
for me "no music, no life"- your photos are the answer to it!
ReplyDeletefoodbin: Hehehe... dito!
ReplyDeleteI used to see one over here in one of the hawker centers down at Esplanade beach front. He was good. :)
