videos of the final presentation
here’s a small playlist of some of the songs played. there were many other songs and i don’t have a good one of the 1st year, but generally it was a great show, we had a great time and the pipes were sounding great. i’m just not a big fan of the place: the acoustics, the lecture and the fascist nationalist books all over the place. i guess being a traditional instrument, it always attracts these governmental types. needless to say, here most folk music was distorted by fascism, and the music we’re playing was recovered by a lot of left wing activists trying to bring back “the voice of the people”. this might sound confusing, but in some countries in europe, folk has fused not with right wing extremism, but left wing groups that struggle for self-determination.
