Balts...

"The Balts or Baltic peoples (Latvian: balti; Lithuanian: baltai; Latgalian: bolti, lit. "white"), defined as speakers of one of the Baltic languages, a branch of the Indo-European language family." - a fragment description of Balts in from Wkipedia

But Balts are not only known for their ancient language. The Balts were also the longest resistant pagan tribe in Europe. So the people preserve lots of ancient pagan manners even know, for example caring and praying for fire, believing that grass-snake will bring luck and richness and many more. Well I think it's quite interesting to get such ancient culture better, particularly when it preserved it's culture so much under these many years.

Back to the main point. This festival "Menuo juodaragis" is 11-th edition of independent post-folk, alternative music and contemporary heathen culture festival. Let me explain: it's a summer end festival with everything baltish and pagan in it - rituals, arts, teachings, tribal workshops, traditional rites, art exhibitions, various creative projects, nice film selection, special fire show, excursions, sports, folk dances,DJ parties and esspecially - MUSIC.

On MJR 2008 we'll see so many fantastic groups and musical projects. It's surely the strongest and most fascinating line-up in the festival's history! Your dreams will burn and fly with suicide pop stars SPIRITUAL FRONT from Italia, deeply impressing THEODOR BASTARD from Russia, and well known industrial mensch VON THRONSTAL. Neo-folk magic will be also played by famous British violinist Matt Howden, his project SIEBEN, and the mysterious Italians ROSE ROVINE E AMANTI.

And also baltic bands: folk-rock group ATALYJA, ambiental DONIS, eminent pop-rock singer Andrius Mamontovas, composer A.Klova with VYDRAGA, and marvelous band SKYL Ė. From Belarus are coming ancient folk traditionalists ESSA, OSIMIRA members' project DRUVA and PRAGNAVIT. Northern neighbours will be represented by Latvian drums and bagpipes band AULI and Estonian national metal pride LOITS, on heavy pagan front together with wild Lithuanians OBTEST and ANDAJA !
