Globalquerque in the rain

Here’s a few pictures from Globalquerque, which is an annual world music festival held in Albuquerque. John and I go every year. Even when we were in California, we would fly back for it.

There are 3 stages, two outdoors and one inside a big theater hall.

Here are African singers & drummers. In this shot, the percussionists have abandoned their “real” drums and are just using pieces of wood on wooden stools. It worked well!

These next guys are singers & dancers from Tbilisi, Georgia (the country).

The festival is for 2 evenings and we always see lots of great music that we would never otherwise hear. And I always buy at least one CD, and if you’re lucky you can get them signed there.
