Dancing in the streets

The Three Kings arrived in Sucre last Sunday to announce the end of the Christmas period and to provide another wonderful opportunity for dancing in the street. First was the church service, in which Los Masis (the group Bonno plays with) performed their groovy, Andean, repertoire. Many members of the community had brought Baby Jesus, beautifully dressed and adorned with Christmas decorations, from their nativity scenes for a last blessing. At the end of the service we all followed a procession of cars and prams that were completely covered in toys, fake dollar notes, flowers, silver and other good luck charms. Los Masis provided musical colour and we followed them through the town to someone´s living room, where alcohol and deep fried doughnuts were waiting.
