Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille is known by musicians as this is the place of the "Festival du Monastier" (aka "Festival de Cuivres"), a great meeting centered around "brass". 40 concerts - in 7 days (!!) - in a town with a population of below 2000. Volunteers and a supporting community of music lovers make this festival possible. The stage was quite small for such a large group, so they mingled with the applauding audience. "Ringišpil" is a Bosnian word, meaning "swing carousel", so it no surprise that the Ringišpil Orkestar brings a heavy, energetic Balkan sound. Here is the sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-QQibirdO0
