These performances have been around since the 1800’s. One of the noted evidences of this was through a portrait painted by Portuguese artist Jose Rodrigues entitled “O Pobre Rabequista”. The art work depicts a musician doing a performance in the streets.

This act of performing in the streets has been giving joy since the ancient times and until now, we still get joy out of watching and appreciating these amazing performances that are practically free! This man’s amazing dance with singer DanDann was only a reminder of how much fun we can have if we will only learn to just dance to the music that makes us happy, no matter what age and no matter where we are.
