Today marks the beginning of four days of festivities in Udin, Italy, where music lovers will gather for this year’s European minority language song contest.
The Liet international is dedicated to promoting the lesser spoken langauges of the region and promises “12 bands, lots of talent and the opportunity to hear interesting music.”
In this interview, the contest’s international coordinator Onno Falkena (photo), gives a preview of the competition, which is sponsored by the Council of Europe as part of its support for langauge diversity.
