Viljandi Folk swept me away again!

August 1, 2025 by Kerly Ilves

After a year, I was for my great surprise invited again to take photos at the wonderful Viljandi Folk Festival. It was my absolute pleasure to be there once again. Thank you, Kristjan Priks, for your patience and kindness in making it happen again!

Taking photos and running from one show to another is not easy, but great shots and great music make it up for me. I found some new favourites such as: Kader Tarhanine, Džambo Aguševi Orchestra and Elizabeth Davidson-Blythe & Daniel Quayle. Of course, I was very happy to see Mari Kalkun after a short break, and last year’s show-makers Trad.Attack! and lovely Duo Ruut.

I was especially glad to be able to share my work with Eestielu.ca readers all around the world. So, if you didn’t get to go to Folk this year, then the gallery should give you a pretty good overview of what you missed!

Trad.Attack! gave another wonderful show. Sandra is awesome!

Can’t get enough of Mari Kalkun’s music.

New favourite Kader Tarhanine from Africa. Little did I know that I would end up on the stage with the band. 😁

Until the next year!
