The International Festival of Traditional and Contemporary Folklore "Suklegos" brings together different trends of folklore modernisation and invites to explore the world music. The audience will be treated to a two-part concert of the festival, where Rokas Kašėta and his band (Lithuania) will perform first, and the concert will be followed by Curly Strings (Estonia).
Rokas Kašėta and his band play dzūkodelika, a modern musical creation in the Dzūkija dialect, Dzūkija world music. The idea and ambition of rock is to build a bridge between this dialect and modern forms of musical expression, thus giving the dialect a new life.
The evening will be continued by Curly Strings, a four-piece band inspired by Estonian cultural heritage. The band's music is heartfelt and original, and their performances are always playful and energetic. Their work is based on the aesthetics of traditional music, the variety of consonants, and the unique Baltic flavour that gives it its uniqueness.
Festival "Suklegos" is partly financed by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and Kaunas City Municipality.
