www.folx.org - communicating folk music

Etno Histria, probably one of the most exciting ethno weeks in the whole summer! Located in a small village close to the Mediterranean sea, young musicians from all over Europe (and often beyond) meet every year since 2003 to have a great time - exploring each others' musical traditions, arranging all the tunes for the whole participants' orchestra and having a great time performing them in public. Lots of sessions and cool things happening - also, theatre is an important element...

Matija Solce, the main organizer of Etno Histria, wrote some days ago:
