The X Kashubian Meetings with Folklore of the World International Festival (Międzynarodowy Festiwal Folkloru "X Kaszubskie Spotkania z Folklorem Świata" w Wielu), held annually in the charming town of Wiele, celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the Kashubian people (Polish: Kaszubi, Kashubian: Kaszëbi) and showcases the diverse traditions of folk groups from around the globe. Nestled in the picturesque region of northern Poland known as Kashubia (Polish: Kaszuby, Kashubian: Kaszëbë / Kaszëbskô), this festival serves as a crossroads where traditional music, dance, and customs from various corners of the world converge.
To understand the significance of this event, we must delve into the history of the Kashubians. According to local legend, God forgot about the Kashubian people while creating the world. Having noticed this, God became so embarrassed that He gave this piece of land everything that was left over: golden sand, round stones, green forests, blue lakes, and rolling hills. Who knows, perhaps this has really happened… Originating from a distinct Slavic heritage, the Kashubians have called this land home for centuries, with evidence suggesting their presence dating back to the 7th century. Their unique language, Kashubian, still spoken by many, stands as a testament to their cultural identity. Besides the outstanding natural beauty of Kashubia, a defining characteristic of the Kashubians is their traditional arts, including intricate embroidery, pottery, and the creation of beautiful amber handicrafts, reflecting the wealth of the Baltic coastline.
Kashubian folk music is distinguished by its use of unique instruments. Among these, the "diôbelsczé skrzëpce" (Polish: diabelskie skrzypce) or devil's fiddle, takes center stage. Historically employed to ward off ghosts during All Souls' Day, this instrument's haunting sound has transformed into an essential component of modern Kashubian bands. The "burczybas," a barrel filled with horse tail hair, creates deep, resonating bass notes when manipulated with dampened fingers. Another distinctive instrument, the "bazuna," resembles a long, slender horn, and its rich history as both a signaling and musical device echoes through its melodic tones.
Against this historical backdrop, the X Kashubian Meetings with Folklore of the World Festival commences with a vibrant procession through the charming streets of Wiele. The festival's inaugural concert takes place by the shores of Lake Wielewskie, a serene backdrop that lends itself perfectly to the colorful performances. As the sun sets, the stage comes alive with the melodies and rhythms of both local and international folk ensembles, blending harmonies from Chile, Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, and Poland. The festival, stretching over five days and taking place in Brusy, Czersk, Kościerzyna, Wdzydze Kiszewskie, and Wiele, serves as a bridge between past and present, connecting people through their shared love of music, tradition, and folklore. The Festival has been recognized as a CIOFF® Recognized International Festival.
The folk ensembles from Kashubia that represent our region are: "Bławatki" from Chojnice, "Kaszubskie Nuty" from Wielki Klincz, "Kaszuby z Wiela i Karsina," "Zespół Pieśni i Tańca Kościerzyna" from Kościerzyna, "Kapela Purtki" from Chojnice, "Zespół Ziemia Czerska" from Czersk, "Kaszubski Zespół Dziecięcy Wiele," and "Zespół Pieśni i Tańca Krëbane" from Brusy, including groups such as "Krëbane," "Młodzi Krëbane," "Dzôtczi," "Purtki," "Gwiżdże," "Krëbanulczi," and "Małe Krëbanulczi."
The binaural field recording focuses on the opening procession of folk ensembles through the streets of Wiele, initiated by the ringing of bells in the local church. The primary highlights of the recording include performances by two Kashubian groups: "Kaszuby z Wiela i Krasina" and the "Zespół Pieśni i Tańca Krëbane," along with the Dutch dance troupe, "Folklor Dansemble Amersfoort". Beyond the music, the recording captures the sounds of lively dances, enthusiastic cheers from both performers and the audience following the ensembles through the narrow streets of the quaint Kashubian town.
