For the last two years Doris was very proud and excited to have been invited to be part of South Koreas oldest cultural festival - the Ulsan Cheoyong Culture Festival - that has been running for 40 years. Through meeting the Korean drummers Dulsori we were fortunate to have been invited to be part of the Ulsan World Music Festival, itself a new part of the Cheoyong Festival.
In the first week of October 2007 we travelled with Penny Avery from Jamaica/UK, Eugenia Ledesma from Argentina, Claudio Kron do Brazil and Laercio dos Angos Borges from Brazil. We ran workshops and had jam sessions to create a Doris flavour at the event, culminating in our usual wonderful, celebratory finale involving all the workshop participants.
It went so well they have invited us back in 2008. This year we took Ansoumana `Vieux` Bakayoko, Nigel May, Penny Avery and the Seckou Keita Quintet. Please check out their website www.cheoyong.or.kr
We all had a fantastic time and will be posting photos on the site soon. Watch this space!
