Here are a few more lousy* pictures from the Ume Folk Music Festival.
Our dance teacher and fiddler at the polska dance session.
Learning songs from the Finnish northern part of Sweden.
A Swedish – Balkan dance mix in the vestibule.
You can’t tell by this picture, but this is the wildest string duo I’ve ever seen.
An over exposed picture of under exposed music from Sapmi and the San people.
Jamming in the halls.
Folk musicians still learn new music by getting together and jamming whenever they get a chance.
Here’s a link to a short video from the jam session.
And hanging around.
* It’s not easy to take good pictures while singing and dancing. Bad lighting too.
Looks wonderful & fun. You know what they say – A Polska a day keeps the doctor away.
That should do the trick. I’m expanding the dance floor.
