Performing street drummers, Santiago

The street drummer is a traditional music form in Chile, with the drummers performing often-elaborate dances at the same time as drumming out complex polyrhythms, with foot-controlled drum triggers. 

Here we hear a troupe of four drummers performing on the streets of Santiago.

Recorded by Cities and Memory.
