Jairo, the Marimba Man

I met Jairo while he was playing his home-made marimba for coins from passerbys in El Virrey Park in north Bogotá.

Hear the marimba!

For its part, El Virrey Park is a narrow green corridor running along 88th St. It's popular with dog walkers, joggers and neighboring office workers who enjoy eating lunch outdoors.
