Krutushka festival is one of the best ethnic music festivals running in Russian Federation. For the 4th time it took place near Kazan (the capital of Tatarstan) at a nice remote place surrounded by forest and unique blue lakes.
People who are responsible for the music on the festival are very good musicians  (band Khool Zhingel) and this is the reason that the musical program is so interesting and presents wide range as of traditional folk music of former USSR and abroad  as of contemporary ethnic music and world fusion scene.

Kuzhebar Design presented there the exposition of traditional and own head dresses. In the context of the exposition Julia Surba gave a workshop about head dresses in different cultures.

Nadishana-Gorelik Duo enriched the festival program with beatiful compositions and breathtaking improvisations.

 
Our biggest thank to organizers of the festival, to all musicians and   just nice people who were the part of it and created a very nice atmosphere there!

We were glad to take part at the  international festival of ethnic music Krutushka 2011, which takes place in Tatarstan close to Kazan-city.
The festival is good known for the good ethnic music:
as for traditional root music

as for  music based on russian folklore and world-fusion.

Nadishana Trio

The cosy location between river and forest close to the beautiful blue lakes helps to create a very warm and cosy atmosphere there.

Another thing which makes the festival unique espacially for Russian area is that alkohol is forbidden on the festival. So no random people are there, only one who is really interested in ethnic music, art  based on ethnic elements and in traditional handcrafts.
Here a small photo report:

Festival report. Folkest 2009, Spilimbergo (Italy)

Posted on August 1st, 2009 by jsurba.
Categories: exhibitions, festivals, foto, music instruments.

Very nice festival with old tradition, which is focused mostly on folk music from Italy with participation of folk and ethno-fusion music bands from over the world.

The festival goes a whole month long and travels trhough different cities of Italy. The finish concerts of the festival takes place in Spilimbergo, an old small  sunny town (not far from Venice) with friendly and open people around.

The life in Spilimbergo is really very relaxed. The town is dead between 12:00 and 17:00,  the hottest time of a day:)

But in the evening all festival areas were full. There were 3 stages with rich program during the festival and near each about 500-800 listeners. Also by the concert of Nadishana, who finished the festival program.

The concert was really successful and people react very enthusiastic during it.

We also presented our music instruments and art object during the festival.

It is strange but presenting of music instruments is not typical for Folkest. We had only one neighbour stand with classical harps from Italy.

There were many people who saw such kind of instrument as a jew harp for the first time. But some already knew this instrument because in Sicily exists a similar one called “scacciapensieri” (what means in Italian: “it drives thoughts away”) I saw how people liked our futujara and were very thankful for its presentation. Kuaamu also found theirs fans in Italy.

We enjoyed our stay in Spilimbergo, a city with a special south flavor. And we are really thankful to Andrea, Alessandro, Odette and other festival stuff for help and support during the festival.

Festival report. Airvault 2009

Le Rêve de l’Aborigène ’09

Absolutely great festival!

At the beginning there were only two persons who brought and developed the idea of the festival: Sylvestre& Fred.

On the pic below Nadishana (left) and Silvestre (right)

This year the festival happens for the 8th time and as usual brings together many musicians and alternative people from all over the world. This time there were over 4.000 people who enjoyed their beeing together from till of July in a beautiful place in the nature  near the city Airvault in France.

Thhe festival is focused on didgeridoo, jew harps and troat thinging.

On the festival area you could  see many groups of people playing together just for fun or testing music instruments on many stands.

The first part of the day was full of different workshops (on the pic below – jew harp workshop of Nadishana)

and of open stage performances

and in the evening everybody was attracted by the rich and  interesting concert program on the main stage under  powerfull cedar trees.

My personal favorites in the concert program were Dörvön Berkh-group with traditional throat singing (Mongolia), Dubravko Lapaine (Croatia) with his incerdible didg techniques and Nadishana (!). Sorry for no pics, I was filming during concerts:)

The remarkable side of the festival is that it is not only devoted to music but also present and support the alternative style of life. Everything goes in an ecological way.  Alkohol on the festival is absolutely forbidden, what creates a very rare atmosphare of clearness, joy and pure celebration. We enjoyed it a lot!!! I didn t see any dust during all our beeing there (only in the dust bins :)).More than that on the festival you can find only very good organic food, and there is no use of one way dishes, people wash up themselves, doesn t matter if you are an orginizer of the festival or an artist or a visitor.

Me and Nadishana were very happy to be on the festival with the concert and  stand with music instruments and art objects.    

We also thank for good organisation, for the interest to our art and for the great atmosphare during the concert of Nadishana. First time in my life I saw such sensitive and enthusiastic listeners!

I would also like to use the possibility to thank all people who sincere helped us during the festival. Long live Le Rêve de l’Aborigène!   I am sure we ll come back there again. It is really a place to be!
