Music on the Street

Music is everywhere in Mexico.  Here are three examples all within a block of each other on or near Mexico City's main plaza.

A classical violinist...

An opera singer...

Most common of all are the organ grinders.  I will usually drop a five peso coin into the hat of one of them each day.  But just one!  Otherwise I would not have any coins left!  Some of them I purposely avoid because they are so preoccupied with asking passersby for money that they aren't paying attention to cranking out the music.
