Saigon Street Band

Street musicians perform in Viet Nam\'s largest Southern city.

One night while walking back from dinner, I encountered this curious group of rockers on the streets of Saigon. They moved through the streets “lashed together” like mountaineers over ice with cords leading to a portable amplifier and eventually the metal speaker seen in the foreground. Every half block or so, they would stop their parade and rock out. One of the more interesting things I saw during that trip through Asia, I really like the color from the street lights and the seriousness on the faces of the rockers.
