I've seen him almost every day for years, but last week someone must have paid him extra and he was singing - in all the years I have never once heard him sing. Well, I should say trying to sing, it sounded like someone running over a cat very slowly. I think instead of keeping quiet and singing when people pay him, he should sing all the time and stop when people pay him, he would make a lot more money that way.
In the video, the scratchy noise was not him singing. He had something on the ground next to the wall playing music. Sound quality not good even when standing there.
The times I pass through la Zona Colonial I notice there are a lot of people in El Conde, among which a lot of tourists as well. I don't understand why still they haven't managed to keep storefronts open during the day. Nothing uglier than a pedestrian 'shopping' street with all the store fronts closed with metal shutters.
Imagine the stories the cruise ship passengers can tell their friends back home about beautiful Colonial Santo Domingo?????
