Here come the gas salesmen!

A unique, fascinating sound - trucks full of gas bottles drive around the hilly streets of Valparaiso, Chile, selling their wares to local residents.
To attract their attention, they drum out complex rhythms on the side of the gas bottles, which reverberate around the steep streets of the city - a defining sound of "Valpo".
