In between scene plays and performances

In almost every James Bond movie when moving from one scene to another, the film makers like to showcase some street performances and the like to give some ambience of the town/city/country that they are filming in.
My question is in regard to the one in GoldenEye that Bond passes to take pictures of Xenia and the yacht boat....What is this performance and what are some of your favorites or that you just find interesting?

What's interesting is that not many of the other films take many breaks like this to set such a mood, even the ones that are similar like Tosca in QoS are still really plot related.

Interesting. Can you name some others? I do like the one of Bond and Melina strolling around Corfu in FYEO.

I've always liked the massive carnivals in Thunderball and Moonraker.
The pyramid presentation scene in TSWLM is also quite good.
LALD has that weird one with the dancer with his legs over his shoulders.
Not a fan of the Octopussy marketplace stuff because it's seemed like a cliched view of India..not the genuine article.

That's a great one. It's the Palio, a famous horse-race which is held twice a year in Siena:

My favourite is the Junkanoo in Thunderball as it's central to the plot - Bond escaping and the death of Fiona - rather than just a mini travelogue.
Yes, I agree. I also think it was made to seem like that just to give the sequence a surreal element and raise the paranoia level, like the bear mascot in OHMSS.
