Lisbon, Portugal
March 10th - 16th
Lisbon was our first destination, and thus a tough one. We spent half the time working out how to use the equipment! Buskers are thought of as beggars in Lisbon. We found musicians, mainly.

Marrakech, Morocco
March 16th - 21st
Although it might seem Marrakech would be a difficult second location, almost everything you need to film there is right in the central market, Djemaa el Fna. Snake charmers!

Barcelona, Spain
March 23rd - 27th
It is somehow illegal to sing in the streets of Barcelona, which made filming buskers there very, very fun. Lots of music, graffiti, and some political performers.

Rome, Italy
March 28th - April 3rd
At first we thought Rome was empty of performers. Then we met some of the most artistic buskers we’ve come across on the whole trip. Bumping into The Birdman was a destination highlight.

Athens, Greece
April 5th - 9th
On our last night in Athens, we hung out with buskers in the center of town who made the whole week worthwhile. Detroit Jimmy deserves credit for making that pitch.

Istanbul, Turkey
April 10th - 14th
We didn’t get to see many street performers in Istanbul, but Istiklal still held some gems. Light in Babylon and Billy Not on Holiday stop thousands of passersby in their tracks every day.

Jaipur, India
April 26th - May 1st
Celebrating our first proper destination in India, Nick decided to lose half the footage we took in Jaipur. However, the footage we still have is beautiful! Just there isn’t as much left as there was…
Calcutta, India
May 1st - May 6th
The historical and mystical train-travelling Bengali Bauls, the fancy-dress children of Bhopur, and the modern street dancing teenagers of Magic Wallrush made Calcutta as diverse a filming location as it gets.
