Prví členovia cechu vycestovali do Lotyšska kde sa stretli s gajdošmi a zástupcami kultúrnych organizácií zo Španielska, Talianska, Chorvátska, Gruzínska a Lotyšska.

4-dňové networkingové stretnutie, nabité skvelým programom nás zoznámilo predovšetkým s Lotyšskou gajdošskou kultúrou, jej históriou, snahou o jej oživenie a jej vyhliadky do budúcnosti.

Celostné poznávanie prostredníctvom remeselných, kulinárskych a poznávacích workshopov len pridalo na skvelom zážitku.

Majster Tomáš Blažek a tovariš Matúš Kovár reprezentovali Cech slovenských gajdošov na viacerých vystúpeniach počas návštevy v Lotyšsku kde prezentovali viaceré typy gájd, herné štýly, naučili zopár gajdošských tanečných krokov, spevom a hrou dokonca roztancovali zúčastnenú spoločnosť.

Radi by sme poďakovali za pohostinstvo a skvelý zážitok organizátorom The Society “Suitu Cultural Heritage” ako aj všetkým zúčastneným za skvelú spoločnosť.

 

Partneri programu:

 

 

The first members of the guild traveled to Latvia where they met bagpipers and representatives of cultural organizations from Spain, Italy, Croatia, Georgia and Latvia. The 4-day networking meeting, packed with a great program, introduced us primarily to the Latvian bagpipe culture, its history, efforts to revive it and its prospects for the future.

Comprehensive learning through craft, culinary and learning workshops only added to the great experience. Master Tomáš Blažek and tovariš Matúš Kovár represented the Guild of Slovak Bagpipers at several performances during their visit to Latvia, where they presented several types of bagpipes, playing styles, taught a few bagpipe dance steps, and even made the participating company dance with singing and playing.

We would like to thank the organizers of The Society „Suitu Cultural Heritage“ for the hospitality and great experience, as well as all the participants for the great company.
