Bolivian tunes

We visited a music museum. Some of the instruments were familiar, but many a mix of the old and new, a bit like La Paz itself.

My favourite part of this museum was the miniature dolls depicting the ‘carnival’ costumes. I think they celebrate in June. The first pix is joker’esq, the guy who leads the procession. Apparently Class can be measured by how ornate your costume is…
