Street sellers in Mahdia
Mar 31, 2023, 05:39 PM
"As the seller cycles through the streets, his voice and the sound of the speaker fill the air, creating a persistent and repetitive soundscape that captures the attention of all those around. The seller's voice can be heard over and over again, repeating the same phrases, sometimes in a singsong-like manner, as he announces his goods to the passersby.
"The ambient sounds of the city, such as the chatter of pedestrians and the distant sounds of traffic, form a backdrop to the seller's persistent and rhythmic sales pitch, blending together to create a unique and captivating soundscape. It is a soundscape that is hard to ignore, drawing one in and creating a sense of excitement and anticipation. A persistent and repetitive soundscape that serves as a reminder of the energy and liveliness that reflects every corner of the city."
