Folk group «Zabava»
Saratov Regional House of Art

At the end of August ’09 “Zabava” visited Poland, where participated in 2 folklore festivals: “Integration 2009” (Poznan) and “Meetings at Podlasie” (Bransk). At these festivals we got acquainted with many interesting folk groups, for instance with the groups from Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, The Netherlands. Belgium, Greece, Georgia, Moldova Republic and Ecuador. The most interesting events of both festivals were so-called national evenings and folk-dance parties after them. During these evenings young people from different countries showed each other national costumes, sang traditional songs, danced, played authentic games and cooked national food. That was a pity to say “good-bye” to our new friends. However we still keep in touch using the Internet.
