This year, the festival has been organised by Improvised Music Company, Big Bang Festival and Dublin City Council.
Unfortunately, on the day, it was pretty rainy, so I missed part of it for this reason! ☔ However, I listened and filmed the last 3 bands who performed at the event! 
If any of you have filmed other bands, feel free to share the links in the comment box! 
In the meantime, enjoy the diaporama below!
Although I had filmed live the Kakatsitsi Master Drummers, the video didn’t save on my phone. 
So, let me share with you a video of them taken at a different event. They gave a very similar performance at Hotter than July festival.

Do you start feeling the 
? Well, this continued throughout the afternoon. All bands were really energetic and good!
Now comes the live performance from Manden Express that I uploaded just for you on YouTube!

Finally, the last band La Chiva Gantiva spent literally their stage time jumping around! 
I’m sharing you video snippets and then the almost entire song as audio track!
A different kind of tweet for today. A bit of energy booster for you to get motivated for the week ahead!
