Description
In Mexico City, if you want music, you can find pirated CDs for sale almost anywhere. On the subway, a network of vendors carry backpacks that have been converted into stereos, which blast samples of music for sale. While coaxing customers, the music vendors also dodge police.
Grant Fuller rode the rails with a group of CD vendors for this installment of our Street Vendor series.
