A short while ago, the medieval village of Gorbio held an African weekend. During the day: dance lessons, make-up and hair workshops, classes in how to play drums and then on the Saturday night all the village gathered to eat African food under the stars and to enjoy a fabulous music and dance group from Burkina Faso (more tomorrow).First though, dinner. A wonderfully spicy meat or chicken with rice. This plus as much wine as you wanted, an ice-cream dessert and an amazing concert - all for 17 euros. Can't be bad...
The man in the smaller photo is cooking sausages for those who came later - just for the concert - and who needed something to eat.

Dernièrement, le village médiéval de Gorbio a vécu un week-end africain. Pendant la journée il y eut des cours de danse, des ateliers de maquillage et de coiffure, des cours de percussions africaines puis le samedi soir tout le village s'est rassemblé pour un repas africain sous les étoiles et pour applaudir un extraordinaire groupe de musique et de danse du Burkina Faso (On en verra plus demain).
Mais d'abord, le dîner. Une viande ou du poulet merveilleusement épicé accompagné de riz. Ceci avec du vin à volonté, une crème glacée en dessert et un concert incroyable - le tout pour 17 euros. Ce n'est pas mal...
L'homme de la plus petite photo fait griller des saucisses pour ceux qui sont venus plus tard - juste pour le concert - et qui avaient envie de manger quelque chose.
I don't think that is what dinner looks like in Africa.

Oh, those pretty blue lights... Was the food good? I have been to Africa a few times.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Africa or Gorbio, but anything that promotes harmony between cultures looks good to me.
