Dragon Fli Empire had the amazing privilege of rocking at the 2009
Calgary Folk Festival this past weekend. The fun started out with our
own set at Stage 3 on Saturday afternoon, where we got the crowd
involved in a game of Calgary Jeopardy. Shortly after, we performed a
workshop with PAPAGROOVE, Micheal Bernard Fitzgerald and Jason Wilson.
The reggae/afrobeat/folk mixture with hip hop proved to be a rousing
success as the entire tent rocked out to the positive vibes.
On Sunday, we entertained the volunteers with a solo performance at the
hospitality area. After that came the killer collaboration with DFE,
Arrested Development, Kid Koala and Mutabaruka. It was possibly the
best-attended side stage show in the history of the festival, with some
estimates pegging the crowd as high as 6000 people. We will have more
glimpses of this incredible experience available in the future, but for
now you can just check out this interview we did with FFWD right after
the show:
