Tecno Bus

One of the more entertaining features on the bus (besides the near-crashes and holes in the wheel wells) is the music. Since I got here, our Volunteer Coordinator Chase has been talking about the Tecno bus, a bus that plays rave music really loud the whole way. So far I've rode the Latin ballad bus, a bunch of salsa buses, an American 80s music bus, but no tecno.

On the bus back from the barrio today the first song had the unmistakeable base pulse of D+B. There was dancing, people were calling to their friends, there was a tiny blue strobe in the front, it was wonderful. Then all of a sudden a commercial started playing, and the driver changed the station to Salsa del Calle; danceable, but not tecno. So I still have yet to experience my first all-80s ride, but I still have 9 weeks left. I'm sure it will happen.
