What is Ethno?

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

Ethno may be many things for many people but for a certain category of folk musicians it’s the magic summer camp where you learn other culture’s music  by playing it and where you teach your own traditional music to the other. All day and sometimes all night long… it’s a celebration of youth, understanding and sheer passion for music.

Here’s how the participants at Ethno Flanders and their musical mentor see and feel Ethno.

Thanks for the hospitality to Wim, Myriam and Leen, we’ll definitely come back one day!

If you’re already feeling blue you can also listen to the recording of their live performance at the Dranouter Festival:
