Wow Folk Festival Castelfidardo - Italyby Harley Jones |
The 3rd Wow Folk Festival was held in Castelfidardo from May 24th to 26th. The three-day event was described as a burst of energy that comes back to envelope the city with a diverse program of free music and events under the auspices of the PIF International Accordion Award. Entertainers included the Ayom Quintet, a multicultural union of two projects: the energy of the Forró Miór - Alberto Becucci (accordion), Pedro Bastos (guitars), Timoteo Grignani (percussion) and Walter Martins (triangle and percussion) plus the Afro-Brazilian singer Jabu Morales. Their music included Brazilian sounds with African rhythms and Mediterranean melodic influence. The following day was dedicated to Argentine music in conjunction with the national holiday “El dia della patria”. Tango group Orquesta Tipica Juan D’Arienzo (picture below) provided entertainment at this event which was also broadcast in Argentina. |
