@carlos_frias_official: That’s no ice cream truck. You hear a siren playing a ditty tune and see a white van coming down the road. Grab your dollars and run down your driveway — but don’t forget your dull knives and scissors. El Aflilador is the door-to-door knife sharpener whose trilling tune brings all the middle-aged dads to the yard. Run before you miss him! Bit of trivia: that gravelly voice calling out for your dull utensils is actually a recorded message. A fleet of trucks around Miami speak with the same voice — the siren song call of El Afilador. #afilador #Miami #culture

A bit more trivia: the sound that you hear is a galician pan flute called a chiflo. To be an affilador was a common trade for Galician immigrants to Cuba and is still a common sight and sound in all over Spain.
