Poetry goes hand in hand with music, frequently we say. We mention the beauty of the music and of the lyrics, and even though the lyrics is usually not present in classical music, there is a text to help us understand what was the author’s purpose. Additionally, you can imagine that there is lyrics and music but you don’t understand a single word of was is sang and despite that we fascination by the sound and are taken to the feelings felt by the author, regardless of having a guide during that way/path.

If this happens to you while listening music from Slovakia, then that is understandable specially after this first experience. Fascinating Summer moment…

Surprising was also the usage of violin in folk music as it was to see the dresses of the group of dancers, so bright and harmonious.

Here we share a photo of a folk group from Slovakia performing in Portugal and we do recommend the search of traditional music of this country, neighbor of Ukraine.

By the way: tomorrow starts the Lisbon's Book Fair.

Enjoy.
