Dear reader, hello !
Along with the sunny summer gradually pulling in, at least here in the north hemisphere that is, the annual festivals
are also taking shape, and exciting new music is blooming here and there, now and more to come in the near future !
We've cooked up a special promotion for the release of Eterne Rima's new CD, 'Taglibro de brutulo', that you can buy
alone or with his previous and first CD 'Samideano' for a friendly price. This is only available until the end of May,
or until the stock has sold out, so be sure not to miss this, all explained below.
We presented 'Originoj' by Zhou-Mack Mafuila last month, and are just presenting it again as a reminder .. well, because
we like the album and the artist and want to make sure nobody misses it !!
As for the traditional FESTO esperanto festival, it will be near the Swiss border this year, and if you can make it,
there will be plenty to do, see and hear, where for KEF, there have been some change of plans for 2012, but only for the
best in 2013.
Also a very interesting film project is underway, actualy a document on the 2005 Helsinki KEF festival, that should see
the day with a little help from the esperanto community.
Read all about it, listen explore and enjoy ..

KEFeto, while waiting
At the beginning of the year, the KEF team had announced that the festival would happen this year in Denmark in July,
but for bugetary reasons, this has been cancelled. In order to better prepare for KEF next year (2013), the organizers
have decided to transform the anticipated KEF this summer into a free one-day concert on Tuesday the 10th of July 2012
in Copenhagen, under the name KEFeto Stafeto. It will be a relay toward the big KEF in 2013, which will take place in
Hillerød, 38 km north of Copenhagen, as was planned for this year.
Come one, come all to this one-day concert on the 10th of July at:
Amager Strand.
DK 2300 København, Denmark:

In the program: Martin Wiese, Dangera, and several other artists.
Kultura Esperanto-Festivalo, the film ..
Rogerner Pavinski, singer and bass player of the Supernova band, has launched a new film projet. It is a documentary on
the 8th KEF that occurred in 2005 in Helsinki, Finland. The project works under participatory financing, which means
that it will be made if there are enough participants. This is the first Esperanto project officially using a
participatory finance platform. Take ten minutes of your time to visit the site, and use the proposed tools to inform
those around you. You can contribute, choosing what you want in return, or simply follow the project's development. If
there is enough support, the film 'La Plejpleja Festival' (The Best Festival Ever) will see the day.
You will find the complete presentation of the project and a 6-minute clip at:
http://www.indiegogo.com/laplejplejafestivalo
Rogerner Pavinski is Brazilian, and a well-known activist of Esperanto culture scene. He was a member of the board of
the World Esperanto Youth Organization (TEJO), a codirector of the film 'Esperanto estas' and director of several clips,
including Supernova's Pasio en katen', and has been editor in chief of the magazine Kontakto for over a year.
Thank you for your interest and attention.
Plej muzikajn bondezirojn al chiuj legantoj !
