Trad folk

Here at Grad Kromberg concerts are held periodically. Since Manca and Sebastian, my hosts, had performed there quite often, they knew exactly where we could sit in the adjoining vinyard to hear and see the concert without forking out 20 Euros, so they invited me to join them in an evening of folk music.
I expected traditional Slovenian peasant songs: instead we were treated to a Mongolian band with a selection of throat music from their country. With a beer in hand and lying on the grass comfortably it was an amazing experience. We were all in awe of the range and variety of sounds the lead singer could produce, sometimes simultaneously. And of course, we had a couple of western style, clippety clop cowboy tunes from the steppes, the hoof beats made by instruments but the neighing etc by the singers. Only Clint Eastwood was missing - eat your heart out Morricone.Weiterlesen
