Description

The musical voice of Argentina is the accordion or "bandoneon" as they name it. For many people accordions are attached to the nostalgic city of Buenos Aires. For others is a way of making a living, like the many children that play accordions in the hopes of receiving tips for entertaining the tourists.

Great composition and sense of place here. Child seems to be interested in the photographer. The tin gives it the aspect of poverty and compassion. #6113894
