Фестиваль уда в Иерусалиме.
Click to viewВаша покорнейшая, к величайшему своему сожалению, в этом году на фестиваль уда не попадает по причине крайней занятости, но по просьбе nenya-manenya решила, тем не менее, перечислить те концерты, на которые непременно пошла бы, если бы имела такую возможность. Если же вашей покорнейшей пришлось бы выбирать, то из всего перечисленного ниже она выбрала бы Марка Элиягу, Тайсира Элиаса и, конечно, Айнур.
Надеюсь, что вы, достопочтенные дамы и господа, будете более удачливы и расскажете мне, как прошел фестиваль и правильно ли я угадала.
