Ruben Blades was playing on the main stage, and the crowd loved him. |
Who knew there was actually any culture in Panama? With no museums, very little theater, and a lack speciality food, I sometimes feel that I am living in a cultural wasteland. That is until we had Panama Jazzfest this weekend, and it was like any summer night in Chicago- free, lots of beer vendors, plenty of people hanging out, and a lot of good music. It was great fun- my friends and I drank a lot of rum, danced to a 25-piece brass band playing Carnival music, and heard an hour of Ruben Blades, the most famous jazz musician in Panama.
