A nice peruvian party in Lyon, to celebrate two girls going back overseas.
We speak a lot in French, a bit in Spanish. The two main characters of tonight are about to fly back to their native land Cañón del Colca (such a magic place, with mountains where condors fly !)
Meanwhile, they make us try coca leaves' sweets, it's a bit strong. And tada, they put on their traditional dress and dance for us, so softly, throwing kisses in the air with their hands. Lovely.
Later, Gustavo, a bolivian artist, plays his guitar and sings for us a classic one, "cambia, todo cambia" de Mercedes Sosa. He tells us in French that it's the inmigrates song, that everything changes : one day you go away, another day you go back home, and you never know what is next.
This song is a nice sum-up of what we feel tonight, some are happy to go back home, but feel nostalgic to leave France, and the others who stay may be a bit homesick...
The song ends this way : "What changed yesterday will change again tomorrow, as I do change the same way in this land so far away."
