Fête du Citron: Corso - Group in white


This group were charming - and their music. I wish I knew their name or even where they are from but I don't. Plaintive music accompanied the man rolling around on the ground but I don't know what it all meant. Wouldn't want his laundry bill.

If anyone knows of this group, do let me know.

  3. I bet the story behind this group is as fascinating as their garb and behavior. Hope someone can solve the puzzle.

  4. I Googled "group in white" and you are the top hit on the page out of 180,000 hits. It appears you are the expert on a "group in white".

    We had the blue men perform here last week. Sadly I did not get to go see them however I understand it is an outstanding performance.

  6. And yet his costume isn't soiled. Isn't that amazing? (I get a lot of comments on "how clean Boston is" - looks like Menton is a very clean city, as well.)

    Re: Calé people, here's some info (the Gipsy Kings are Calé, btw - their parents fled from Spain during the Spanish Civil War).

  9. Such fun photos, Jilly....you are lucky to live there. :) The white does seem a bit impractical, doesn't it? Menton must be very clean.
