SAYAN RING FESTIVAL, JULY 5 - 8

The Festival was great - like a Siberian Woodstock.Huun Huur Tu played two magnificent sets...And I had a lot of fun... and so did a few of the girls I met! I did a bit of dancing, they tell me. My memory is a little blurry, but here is graphic evidence:

This distinguished lady was the chief Shaman of the island where the festival was held. I gave her a brass bell to add to the other bells hanging on her outfit. She said "Whenever this bell rings, it will send you blessings across the sea." I believe it!
You can read about the whole crazy thing in my article in the October 2007 issue of Rolling Stone Italia (if you read italian): http://www.rollingstonemagazine.it/page.php?ID=1839
