1967

Here's a French rendition of Dylan's 'Mr. Tambourine Man.

Hughes Aufray infuses it with his unique charm.

Hey Monsieur l'homme-orchestre

Joue-moi ta chanson

J'n'ai pas sommeil

Je ne sais plus où est ma maison

Hey Monsieur l'homme-orchestre

Joue-moi ta chanson

Dans le matin pâle

Tu vas me montrer l'horizon

And as usual, here's the original by Bob Dylan, (live at the Newport Folk Festival). The song was recorded in January 1965.

People from Berga (Comarques Gironines, Catalonia) jump and sing to celebrate the beginning of their city's most beloved festivities: the Patum.

Held annually on the week of Corpus Christi, the oldest written document that talks about Berga's Patum dates from the year 1454. The celebration is based on the same elements as other Catalan traditional festivities called festes majors, which include tradicional dance, music, "giants" figures, bestiary, and demons fire dances.

Robert is going home with Willie Nelson”

Night Dancers x China x Mexico

Shot at the Vitosha Folk Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria. While I wasn't able to gain access to backstage, or a decent location to shoot from due to the organizers not being cool and fucking up our communication (and generally shutting me down bc I wasn't hired beforehand), I was still able to snag some decent shots regardless.

Doesn't matter, because after spending some time shooting the dancers in the city the previous day, I knew I wanted to shoot their performances, even if only for my own interest.

Zilleghem Folk!!

Best acts (from those we saw):

Les Violettes

And of course, the reason we went; Snakes In Exile

They were awesome!! 🤘🙌🤘

It was a really chill festival with good drinks and a lovely location. The weather was mostly good, but it was best the stages were all under a roof for rainy bursts :)

Lots of folky dancing!

Bonus: tiny froggy
