The Viljandi Folk Music Festival, which will take place from 28-31 of July this year, has now announced its full program of artists and events, including exciting foreign performers from around the world.<\/p>\n
According to Ando Kiviberg<\/strong>, the head of the festival, the primary purpose of this year’s festival is to value the work of performers in the Estonian language. \u201cIn fact, every traditional story has an author. Some stories will remain with us for decades or even for centuries, or they will become a tradition. We discovered the impetus for creating such an authors\u2019 program last year thanks to Jaak Johanson<\/strong>‘s memorial concert\u201d.<\/p>\n This year 18 foreign and 40 Estonian acts will perform at the Viljandi Folk Festival, which is now in its 29th<\/sup> edition. The lineup will include Estonia acts such as highly regarded pair Duo Ruut and energetic PuuLuup. The foreign acts include G\u00f3b\u00e9 from Hungary with crazy energy and a magnificent stage show, as well as the dance trio Hecki from Austria. The program of this year\u2019s festival features performers from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.<\/p>\n For a full list of the performers, click here<\/span><\/a>. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
