GHANAFEST

Here's a unique opportunity to discover ghana (pronounced "ana"), traditional Maltese music blending lyrical songs with rhyming and verse protrusions and musical accompaniment. In particular, theiz-zaqq, the Maltese bagpipe, has been brought up to date. This is the theme of three days of Maltese and Mediterranean folk music at the Argotti Botanical Gardens in Floriana. There will also be a series of workshops on traditional instruments and a special program for children.
