Bigger picture

There was some festival dedicated to some edible substance going on in Humahuaca, and on this table there are all sorts of goodies from the local cuisine. Notice the loudspeaker in the back. If you think that it was playing some local folk music from Humahuaca, you are seriously wrong. It wasn't even playing some generic Argentinian, or even Latin-American, pop music. No, on a volume far too high to be good for the small-town atmosphere you could hear a song being sung in – Turkish. A complete bizarre experience.
