We were treated to a couple of performances by Guatemalans. This first picture was actually taken at the conclusion of one program where the performers invited people in the audience to dance with them. Some were good sports. Our tour director, Oscar, is the guy in the dark shirt. Incidently, the woman in the center of the picture in purple was also in our tour group. I don't know how big her suitcase was but every night she dressed up for dinner. She lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. She has traveled the world extensively but loves Latin American countries. She is one very positive, active, friendly, 'with-it' lady. I find it unbelievable that she is 84 years old! 
The dancers had lots of enthusiasm and energy and seemed to enjoy every minute of it.
The next performers were three brothers who played songs full of sounds from Guatemalan tropical jungles...birds trilling, animals calling etc. They made every one of their instruments using wood, turtle shells, gourds, seashells and whatever was available to them.
J Lo and Marc Anthony have a similar thing to "America's Got Talent" for Latin American performers. The program is to showcase the various native cultures and music of those countries. These brothers have been in Los Angeles for a month and are still in the running. For the next round of competition they go to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
