On the 4th, 5th and 6th of June, the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts will present a fabulous concert series of Mediterranean folk roots. Malouf music from Tunisia, Arabic fusion from Egypt and Balkan rhythms from Bosnia and Herzegovina come together for Għanafest 2010. The festival will also host a series of workshops on traditional instruments and a special programme for children. A wonderful event for the whole family complemented by traditional Maltese food and the marvellous surroundings of the Argotti Botanical Gardens in Floriana.
Għanafest offers a unique opportunity to experience an overview of the different styles of Maltese folksong, known as għana. Besides local folk music, each day the festival will present a variety of local musicians and ensembles. This category will include Maltese hip-hop by No Bling Show and Dominic Galea quartet, together with a selection of local songwriters.
Three extraordinary ensembles from three different Mediterranean countries: Tunisia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Egypt, have been invited to participate. Darabouka virtuoso Marzouk Mejri from Tunisia will perform a wide range of instruments from the shabi and malouf music traditions of Arab-Andalusian heritage. Bosniak singer Dijana Grigic will take the stage accompanied by the up-beat Balkan rhythms of her ensemble di.Ples. The music of the band Ressala from Egypt combines Arabic lyrics and Egyptian instruments with other modern musical influences.
Għanafest - Malta Mediterranean Folk Music Festival is organised by the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts and the Parliamentary Secretariat for Tourism, the Environment and Culture with the support of the Ministry for Culture of Egypt. The Festival will be held on the 4th, 5th and 6th of June at 19:00, Argotti Gardens, Floriana - within walking distance from Valletta. Tickets: €2 available at the door. Parking available at the Floriana Boy Scouts headquarters, right next to the venue.
This year's edition of the festival is dedicated to Maltese folk guitarist Indri Brincat (il-Pupa) who passed away on the 24th of March 2010. Indri Brincat was also a renowned guitar maker.
