Back from the 3rd International Fujara Festival at Zvolen, Banska Bystrica, and Detva

[Bob Rychlik]

Fujara friends,

I am back from the festival and if you were there, you would like it!!!

Plan for the next year at about the same time, because as in the past, there will be again an "Open Stage" (open mike) program, come with your fujara and you will play.

I've put some pictures on Facebook, and there is also a Slovak TV video:

Then past Saturday I had 45 min. performance at the Maryland Traditions festival with my fujara apprentice Rasto;

and the video bellow was recorded by the Maryland Art council earlier this year (they sponsored teaching the new Maryland tradition: fujara playing):

To finish the busy part of the year, my week long fujara course at the Common Ground will start 6-29, and there are STILL couple openings for you, if you register right away:
