Music and Dancing in a Village

I have been to my share of music festivals all over the United States. From being to Phish festivals to working at Red Rocks Amphitheater for three summers, I have seen many different types of music and dancing celebrations. So, when I heard about this one, I couldn't turn it down! People from all different villages came together to sing and dance and worship God! They also performed songs and dances that tell stories of the past of their culture and village. They all sang songs in different languages. I think there was a total of 5 different languages being spoken and sung at the festival.The sun was beaming, the air was hot but that didn't stop these musicians from performing. It was a really nice to step a little deeper into their culture. Oh and yes, I did step into the circle and danced with them as well for a few songs.
