Boca’s kaleidoscope

ARGENTINA | Friday, 5 July 2013 | Views [292]

La Boca-not really a neighborhood of Buenos Aires, but a city within the city. A world of immigrants, a perfect mix of cultures, of European and native features that have been transmitted through time and have created micro-worlds. Joaquin lives in the streets of this world of the worlds, and after walking through them with him for a while, he plays with me and hides himself inside his Boca.

José lights up the streets, he plays for himself but mostly for the turists. He does not live here, but it’s like he belongs to Boca – he arrives in these streets in the morning, very early, he watches the district waking up, and in the evening he leaves it only for few hours. This is his corner, between the square and the inns where he leaves a story at the end of the day, while sharing a glass of wine offered with pleasure by the ones who have enjoyed his music, the whole day. He lives a life in between-not really belonging to Boca, but neither to the distant city of Buenos Aires.
