STORYTELLING:  VIALAS BLUES FESTIVAL

Blues Festival in Vialas, Lozère (France), 19-20 July 2019

Vialas is a tiny village within France’s Cévennes National Park, far away from the mainstream.

Recently, its isolation served it well:  the Covid19 totally ignored the place (something the New York Times observed with interest through one of its articles).

Despite being so far away from the world’s agitation, Vialas enjoys, in particular during Summer, a surprisingly active cultural life, including several music festivals, well supported by the local authorities.

On invitation from the Blues Festival organisers, I ensured its photo coverage in 2019.  The festival featured three cool bands:

• Aurélien Morro and the Checkers
• Blues Syndicate
• Awek

Below are a few images, a soundbite from Aurélien Morro and the Checkers and a drone video with the Blues Syndicate.

See you at the festival’s next editions!
