Los Sitios
I like a place at Los Sitios and I always feel great at Los Sitios, I am here with you and I feel good, I am here, it is a place which we would describe as being somewhat underground. When one goes out in the afternoon and sees all those people who seem to be yuppies, all inside a goldfish bowl and going round from one place to another like mad people, that movement is something very impressive because you see the reality of the peoples in front of you without any kind of varnish. And you see many things, you observe all kinds of situations involving all sorts of things, do you understand? You can be walking in one place and they are holding a “Palo” party (a Santería ritual) and you go somewhere else and encounter a violinist who is practising something or other, and somewhere else you find someone who happens to be one of the opera dancers but who has just arrived from France, and somewhere else you find someone who is being made a ”santo” (member of the Santería religion).
