LOS ANGELES: Oaxacan Marching Band

By Sam Quiñones, A Reporter’s Blog

I attended the inauguration of the L.A. office of FIOB — Frente Indigena de Organizaciones Binacionales (Indigenous Front of Bi-national Organizations), which works to help Indians, mostly from Oaxaca, here in the U.S. and back home.

Before the inauguration, a brass band set playing around the block. Very cool.

Click above for a video of a little of that, then let me know what you think.
