The story
Songs of the Wind Ethnic Music Festival in Stavropol
Songs of the Wind Ethnic Music Festival in Stavropol pairs live ethnic music with hands-on workshops that let visitors step out of the audience and try the instruments or crafts themselves. Bright kites lift above the crowd while the music plays, and family groups move from stage to stage across a cool October day that gives the whole event an autumn-ritual feel.
You hear it before you see the stage: drums knocking under open sky, voices rising sharp and clear, and children tugging at kite strings while families drift toward the music with hot tea in their hands.
