Friday, July 25th, 2008

One more Ethno Croatia workshop is over. It was held in medieval town of Groznjan, the meeting point of Mediterranean & Central Europe.

This year, they were paticipants from Croatia, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and Macedonia with Dario Marusic from Istria, Croatia and Allan Skrobe from Sweden as mentors.

We had the pleasure that among the participants they were two bands: Radio Kairo from Sweden and Afion from Croatia.

In Groznjan we had several days to learn the tunes and practice them. The real real challenge three days after the beginning of the workshops: the concert in Bale, a small Istrian city. The audience was great! And we met some participants from Ethno Sweden! Ethno lovers everywhere :)

After five days in Groznjan, it was time to move on. Last night in Groznjan we had a farawell concert to say godbye and thank you to the city and all the nice people there.

We moved to the sea, to the city of Pula. It was very hot these days, so Pula came as a nice refreshment. We jumped into the sea and took the opportunity to take a swim or two or three…:)

The last concert was in the continental part of Croatia, in an medieval castle Veliki Tabor close to Zagreb. We were the guests of the Tabor Film Festival, an international short movie film festival. And that was it! Seven days of music, fun and traveling…and making friendships…
