HONK! videos

If you were there, and remember which bands you saw, take a look and let me know if you're in any of these videos.

The Brass Messengers, having just taught the audience how to dance the "traditional Minneapolis polka":


Chaotic Insurrection warms up, then plays a piece from the Spanish Civil War:


Ten more videos...

3 dancing hooping performers in red on the sidewalk and What Cheer? Brigade in the main plaza in the middle of Davis Square:


Chaotic Insurrection plays an Italian song, Amara Terra Mia, that they learned from another band at HONK! 2008:


AfroBrazil dancing with a 95 year old woman, at the plaza off Elm Street:


The Brass Messengers teach the audience another silly dance:


The Leftist Street Band, from New Hampshire:

(I think I used to see some of these same people following Granny D and playing, when she was running for US Senate and walking every street in New Hampshire...)

Himalayas with a message for Iran:


Himalayas break out the sax:


A shorter clip of AfroBrazil drumming:


One of my favorite visually, the Junkaroo Jumpers perform at sunset, in a lot on Highland:


A lone busker playing fiddle down in the Davis Square T stop:


... or see them all on this YouTube playlist.
