Malta folk festival

This new blog has been set up with a view to promoting Maltese music and musical events. One of today's posts refers to the upcoming National festival of Maltese folklore. From the Malta Music blog:

Tickets for the eighth National Folk Singing Festival go on sale tomorrow. The open air festival will be held on Friday 27, Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 May at the Argotti Gardens, Floriana, from 7 to 10.30pm. This year the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts is offering folk music lovers the chance to buy a three-day ticket for the price of Lm3; this includes a special double album CD that features the highlights of last year’s festival free of charge. Alternatively, tickets are sold at Lm1 for each evening concert.

This year’s edition of the National Folk Singing Festival is dedicated to the late Maltese folklorist Guzè Cassar-Pullicino (1921–2005). Seventy Maltese and two groups of foreign performers will be participating. These include folk singers, folk musicians, Andrew Alamango’s Etnika, Ruben Zahra’s acoustic ensemble Nafra, John Tanti’s group Muzifolka, Johnny Saliba’s group, the Sicilian Musicanostra and the Italian duo Valla e Scurati. The festival is sponsored by Cisk Lager.
