As far as music is concerned...
Meeting with sung poetry was the first concert of the festival.
In the evening on the stage at the Patio of Lublin Centre for Culture, we could hear the Chechen children ensemble with Żandar Zakajev, Sergij Minskiewicz (Belarusian bard) and the Ukrainian band Illusions (http://illusions.com.ua/).
On Saturday, we traditionally met Plac Litewski. This time at 8 p.m. – energetic folk.
Sarakina Balkan Band – this is the Polish-Bulgarian-Czech band which combines the Balkan music with folk, jazz and world music. The compositions and arrangements with Bulgarian folk music, classical music influences and the elements of jazz improvisation transfer ethnic style to artistic music. The band consists of professional musicians, graduates of higher musical schools, who play such instruments as: accordion, clarinet, contrabass, kaval, bagpipes, tupan, and tamburica. The band has been playing since 1999.

AtmaSfera Band – this band is an outstanding phenomenon on the Ukrainian stage. The band plays varied ethnical music consisting of folk elements from different countries of the world and of Ukrainian and English texts mixed with ancient language. The band name comprises two words: “atma” which means “an individual” and “sphere” – the space surrounding this individual: their internal world, feelings and emotions.
