An synhponic and nostalgic sound, in a street of Venice

When I was walking a street of Venice, suddenly I heard a sound that I have never hear before.

The sound had somehow metalic tune, but it was obviously not made by synthsizer nor computer programed instrument because the sound was so synhponic and it reached my ears so naturally.

The performer was a young man with nice looking clear-cut face, and the instrument was semispherical rounded metal. He hit the metal with both hand with gloves.

It resonate very nostalgic sounds and caught me for a while, and it was very beautiful and amazing sound.



PS. After the performance, many people were asking what kind of instrument it is.
And the answer was this is special instrument is a product of Switzerland and it is produced only 100 pieces per year.

Brasil 7. "Coco"

Something you can't forget in Brazil is "Coco" (coconuts). At the small shops at the every corner, we can buy fresh "coco" with 2 reals (7 SEK, 0.8 euro, 120 en)!? Crash and open up the top of hard shell and drink a juice with straws. After finishing to drink juice, you may ask to chop out all the shell! You might say "Why?" It's because the white layer of inside of coconuts is also very sweet fruit to taste!!



Left, In Rio, I was focusing to take picture of "Quiosque" (= Coco stand(!?), the small food store just on the beach line), then the funky guy in the shop was running out to get in the photo, :D.

I like Brazilian people, hahaha!

Today's song: "Love is wicked" by Brick And Lace.
(comment on the song: the sounds of clapping hand in a rhythmical tempo is very cool!)
