What Fun Cultural Music and Dance Can Be for a Tourist!


Why is it that in other countries besdies the US there are traditional music groups that both entertain the tourists and represent the country's heritage and culture? I can't help but become consumed with happiness and glee when I come across groups like these in other countries. Is it that we in America simply do not have a traditional music/dance that has the means to entertain foreigners, or do we just choose to not display it in parks, retaurants etc. Here I am in these pictures with examples of this form of art and tourist entertainment. Me with Polka dancers and players in Krakow, Poland. And also me with a traditional Mexican mariachi band in Puerto Vallarta. If only we Americans were proud enough to entertain streetwalkers and visitors to our nation with such a fun and historical form of art! I give a big BOO HOO to the seriousness of America's tourist entertainment.
