live music taxi

commuter train musicians

The KRD (Kereta Rel Disel), Bandung's commuter trains, is a lively place. It's virtually a market where everything from snacks and beverages to stationery and toiletries are sold. It even has musicians to entertain you - for a small tip - in your otherwise crowded and unpleasant trips.

traffic light music

When the traffic stops at the traffic light, the music is on. For a small fee.

symbiosis

A city is an ecosystem. In it are various organisms living off and from one another. And here is an example:

A group of street musicians playing their music for tips to the passangers of angkot stopping at the traffic stop of Parapatan Lima. Two minutes is all it takes for them to entertain their audience and get the tip.

I took the photo a couple of years ago. But nothing has changed since then. So, it's still very much a picture of Bandung's street today.
