The Festival of Music in Panama (like the Fete de la Musique in Paris) was held in the picturesque Casco Viejo on a lovely Saturday afternoon June 20th. I went with a couple girl friends and it was quite nice to take a walking tour of the old city taking pictures and enjoying raspao (Panamanian snow cones toped with condensed milk-I got passion fruit!). We didn't stop to listen to the music really since there was so much going on! But there were lots of arts and crafts to buy as well as several stages of music with everything from rock, to jazz, to reggae and tipico.
Some highlights from my day at the XXXII Feria de ArtesanĂas Nacionales held in Atlapa (May 31). I had a great time seeing amazing Panamanian arts and crafts and tasting national treats all while listening to traditional music and stopping occationally to see dance presentations! Def recommend going if your ever so lucky! I ate a tamal de pollo (tamales here are wrapped in banana leafs and steamed), helado de pipa (coconut icecream), chicheme (corn/milk drink), and passion fruit cocolate! MMMMM! I only bought some organic coffee from the native territories of the Guami in Chiriqui and a special treat for my best friends little boy. In pictures above (right to left) traditional woven hats, baskets and woven things by the Embera Indians, nifty looking goared lamp shades, polleras, woven masks and chocolate stand!
