Recordist's notes
Because it's us and we are proud to be like that ! Every year, scouts make a very big race, using cuistax. It's a 4 wheels bicycle, with two drivers. The race was located in the past in the city of Court-St-Etienne ; now it's in Mons city. The recording begins with horns. After, 2:45 mn, the Kallah guides (understand the river Kallah girl scouts) shout and sing before the race. I travel along them. Everybody is very excited to be here. The race is called k8strax. Its a codename for thighs + hunt down.
