April Candombe Drums - Gozadera!

The candombe groups organized a Fall Parade in Rivera street this Sunday afternoon. Fall is upon us, goodbye to the warm season. I was around with just a cell phone in hand when the Gozadera group came in - wish I'd have recorded the sound as well.

Flags come first in the parade. You all know the Gozadera colors by now, yellow, green and violet. It takes skill to move those huge flags around.

Everybody can enjoy the parade!

Dancing was very spirited - this is a group with a lot of style.

Other groups had already finished; youngsters dream of joining in the parade next year.

  1. What a great little series from that cell phone. You did a nice job of capturing both the documentary and the abstract aspects of that event.

  2. Thanks, Mike! Next time there will be sound included, I promise. I forgot that the phone has a recorder feature as well.
