Israel’s friendliest music festival, with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa.
Jacob’s Ladder Folk Festival is a unique musical and social event which takes place twice a year in two different formats for lovers of all aspects of folk music from Bluegrass to World music, from Irish jigs to Country Rock, from Blues to Bagpipes.
This year’s spring festival will be held betwen May 16th and May 18th, 2019 on and around the pastoral lawns and beach and in the various indoor halls of Nof Ginosar Hotel on the shores of Lake Kinneret.
From Thursday afternoon until late Saturday afternoon, the festival features concerts, dance workshops, music workshops, Jam sessions of all types in every possible corner, Juggling, and other fabulous activities in the Jacob’s Ladder spirit. Handicrafts for children and adults, swimming in the lake and pool and free camping make this a perfect weekend for singles, families, teens and seniors.
This year, the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa brings to the festival an amazing authentic folk band called BRIGAN, presenting Rúa San Giacomo, a small Anthology halfway between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, where the music of southern Italy coexists with the various languages and musical forms of that part of the Iberian territory set between Galicia, Asturias and Northern Portugal. Alala, villanelle, muiñeire, jote, tarantelle and traditional chants merge into a single sound and language, the sound of BRIGAN.
BRIGAN will be performing at the Jacob’s Ladder Festival 2019 with the following schedule:
- Friday, May 17th, at 21:00: BRIGAN (Italy) | Rúa San Giacomo – Taditional Authentic Folk from Southern Italy | Main stage
