Last night's concert at the Rynek Glowny (main square) in Cracow featured first a Belarussian group (not too good), then a really good gypsy band, and finally The Twinkle Brothers, a reggae group from California. They were great. They closed off the evening with a set together with a traditional mountain (gorale) group from the Cracow area. The Twinkle Brothers have been playing in Poland for more than 20 years, and they and this Polish group have cut one CD and are just releasing another.

It was quite a night -- a big crowd rocking to reggae-gorale sounds.
Later I went to a smaller venue to hear the gypsy group, but though they were scheduled sto start at 11:00 they didn't get going til 11:30 and by a bit after midnight I headed home. I suspect the revelry & dancing went on into the wee hours, without me.
