Recordist's notes

Little Jungle atmosphere with inhabitants. In this audio we can find a particular sound due to the fact that within an inhabited place we find environmental characteristics as if it were a small jungle. The fundamental sound fed by a chorus of insects playing in the background is the perfect one to make us believe that we are not in a municipality, but unfortunately the voices of the people and a slight background traffic act as a sound signal that reminds us that we are in a inhabited place. Finally, the king of this environment and the one that allows it to be quite pleasant, is the "Chicharra" who with its particular sound mark emits a very strong sound, so much so that it manages to stand out from the other insects that are present in the place.
