Grand Finale - Kivgiq 2009

Seeing this in person will send CHILLS down your spine! Probably the only place in the world where you will find 20 dance groups singing, drumming, and dancing to one song together. If you missed it this year, don't miss out on the next Kivgiq!!!

Groups nowadays need good leaders with an ear for music. Nowadays most groups don't sound good it aint like back in the day when sound came first and dancing next. Without great singers a great dancer cant make a great performance, I miss groups from the 80s when Barrow Wainwright and Pt.Hope were so awesome to watch, back then you can just close your eyes listen to them and just from the sound of their groups you get chills, you put great dancing to that, WOW, that will bring tears to your eyes
