DJ Dolores Spins at Folk Fest
Helder Aragao aka DJ Dolores from Brazil artfully blends pulsating beats with electronic groves and samples that converge into layered soundscapes. Tonight feels like one big dance party that's just getting started.
Coolooloosh on Stage 4
The Israeli band Coolooloosh took to Local 510 Stage 4 earlier on in the night and unleashed a bunch of smooth, funky rhymes with guitar and horns. Their unusual name apparently means "celebration and joy" in Jerusalemite slang and there was no shortage of that with the crowd who couldn't resist getting up and dancing along.
Folk Fest Food
Each year at folk fest, you'll find the regular food vendors (the famous curry booth India Palace, Ship and Anchor, The Nomad's Kitchen) and some new tasty ones to try. One of the first places you'll encounter just past the gates is the Slow Food Calgary booth, new to the fest this year. There's tasty lamb kabobs and pita bread as well as fresh cherries but it was the three mini burgers with beef from Hoven Farms that sold me.
