II. DAYS OF
MOTHER IN LIPTOVSKÉ SLIAČE 1998
Participating folk singing
groups from: Zuberec, Chrenovec, Liptovske Sliace, Telgart, Podhradie, Lucky,
Dubrava, Hrochot, Velka nad Velickou, Strani.
It started on Friday and
continued until Sunday evening. I went there on Saturday to see open air
program in the meadows and hay fields above Liptovske Sliace. Individual
groups were positioned high above the level plateau and were singing
traditional songs that were sung long ago in individual villages while working
in
the hay fields and moving the ray and other agricultural products. There
was also actual work with hay. Later on in the afternoon there was a display
at the edge of the forest of traditional work with wood and songs that used to
accompany this hard work. In the evening in newly constructed amphitheater
stage in the middle of the village above the creek that runs through the
village there was a program of songs that celebrate mother. In the school
there was a exhibition of folk costumes from collections of the citizens of
Liptovske Sliace and an exposition about the life of Margita Senkova,
who celebrated last year her 100 year birthday in near by Lucky.
