The festival for folk and world music in the Norwegian Førde had its 26th edition this month. Førde distinguishes itself from other festivals in the fact that at least half of the four-day programme consists of performances by artists from the Scandinavian countries and Finland. This year, Ton Maas was there for the second time and reports his experiences to Charlie Crooijmans, of course in the light of the particular music he heard there.
