17 Hippies

We are planning to attend an annual world music festival in the region, and will be paying dearly for a six-hour babysit. This will be the longest we'll have someone here babysitting both kids. I don't envy our babysitter.

At the festival I'm looking forward to seeing MC Rai, who plays electrified Rai--essentially North African reggae--and 17 Hippies, who are from East Berlin and play something called the Berlin style, a mix of folk music, chanson, gypsy, and klezmer. Party music, in other words, with a former communist exuberance. Let's dance!
