Chaingmai International Music Festival

This weekend is the international music festival at the three kings monument square.  .  The area is just a little bigger than Lunsford Park... There were displays from Germany,  Italy, India, with food and Burma with books and info from the Friends of Books group that operate a book service to Burma.  Some of the music was really outstanding and the spanish somba and chacha got many to thier feet. I just tried to blend in with the photogs and got some pics....crowd pics  then musicians

The groups were from spain/france with Thai singer,   italy   and Japan..



 This guy was remarkable and played a few instruments that I had never seen.   I spoke with him after and he is from spain/france and travels all over and plays with many groups.  I think the group name was mango.... they played and the Thain woman danced and sang... great stuff.

 The duo was from Japan and he played an electronic keyboard, drum a voice mixer and this long horn... and the woman sang and played an ancient stringed instrument and drum.  The crowd was more samba...but they were well received and very wonder sounds... The roving flood lights made picture taking a challenge.... nice evening.

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
