One week away from opening the doors @ the Poltava Ukrainian Pavilion & Mosaic 2024!!
We’re so looking forward to amazing food, phenomenal music & exhilarating dance, all in front of packed houses!!
See you next week!
Bonus coverage! Set 2 from our show last night in Manzaneda!
Last night we took the stage in the mountain town of Manzaneda. While this region boasts a ski resort in the winter, the heat stayed strong on and off the stage.
Check out some footage from our first set!
The finale of Folkmoncao was a spectacle all its own. There wasn’t a spot to be found as over 10,000 people took in the closing gala.
We lead with Zakarpatskiy Krucheniy followed by Gypsy Dance, a dance the people of Portugal hadn’t seen in all our visits!
As our chapter in Portugal closes, we are incredibly thankful for all the guides, volunteers and friends we have made over the last 10 days.
On to Spain!
The energy of the crowd (and our outstanding orchestra) propelled us to deliver one of our all time “the show must go on” moments! Professionalism & commitment to performance were on another level !
Another night, another incredible performance. Ponte Du Barca provided yet another beautiful backdrop & the nations of Mexico, Bolivia, South Africa and Ukraine brought the crowd to their feet.
Picturesque Ponte De Lima, the city with the most beautiful bridge & amazing walk up crowd. Thank you for once again having us alongside South Africa, Bolivia & Tahiti!
What a day for a parade! We took the the streets of Moncao ahead of the tonight’s performance in Pont De Lima!
Show 4 was in from the packed streets of Vila Nova De Cerveira! So full on fact our view was that of the fans of Poltava @folkmoncao Folkmoncao!
📍Coura Portugal - Night 3
Even a 15 minute rain delay could not slow down Poltava 🇺🇦 and Folkmoncao.
Sharing the stage with Bolivia, Argentina & Haiti was a delight in our return to the city where we made our @folkmoncao debut!
