Subject: RE: Pan Pipe Buskers
There is a group of Peruvian musicians, of the live, and usually unamplified persuasion, who busk regularly at the same pitch in Maidstone UK town centre.

They call themselves Runa Marka, and they are pretty good. Good enough that I bought a CD, and enjoy listening to it.

One thing they don't seem to do, is drown other performers, and I have seen them move along the street, rather than play loude, when somebody else with drum backing track, and electric guitar, set up close to them.

Their repertoire seems authentic, varied, and accomplished.
