The intersections of tunnels (a.k.a., giant echo chambers) in the Métro make perfect locations for musicans to set up and entertain hundreds of travelers at once. I ran across this band in one of the scores of intersections at the Saint-Michel Métro...they were playing Klezmer music. But of course! What else?
A few days ago it was an accordionist at the Sèvres-Babylone Métro station. I should start keeping a log! (Actually, I should be better about throwing a few euros in their open cases. Must start doing this tomorrow.) They are actually very good musicians who play classical, pop, ethnic, you name it. Apparently they have to audition for a certificate to perform in one of about 100 locations in the Métro. Support your local musicians! Today!
