there a way to experience the culture of distant charted? He added Countries and to touch their national cuisines, languages, folklore music, dances and songs without leaving their home? It seems there is, if you live in Khartoum, where the group of the Asian embassies in Sudan (China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan and Russia) once again successfully Conducted its traditional Cultural Festival on December 8, 2017. It was the fourth time that thousands of people had come together in the heart of Sudanese capital to enjoy the incredible atmosphere of marvelous Asia full of miracles and dreams. And maybe more than that – they were a lot of fun seeing dynamic and full of vital energy performances, which were brought by original musicians and artists from all over Asian countries! Konyashin confirmed that during its four years of existence the Asian festival became a good tradition of the pre-Christmas Eve in Khartoum. The event is absolutely free of politics and has very obvious charitable and philanthropic orientation. Most likely, it is the main reason why the festival typically attracts huge numbers of people year after year and why so many people in Khartoum are looking forward to visit it. All the collected money from the sale of tickets, souvenirs and handicrafts are always directed for charity.
For example, 150 thousand SDG received from the Third Asian Cultural Festival, which was coordinated in the previous years by the Russian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary H.E. Mr. Mirgayas Shirinskiy as a dean of the Asian group, were solemnly handed over to the Sudanese Central Bank of Blood for the renovation of premises and purchase of new medical equipment. So we are very happy to aware that our activity not only yields joy and knowledge for our Sudanese friends, but has also a great practical value saving their health and lives As an accountant of the Asian group in this year the Russian Embassy in Khartoum is working now on collecting and counting money received from the Fourth Festival of 2017 to prepare it for the next Sudanese organization, which is in need of assistance. It will be chosen by consolidated solution of all the Asian ambassadors at the beginning of the next year.
At the Fourth Asian Cultural Festival in Khartoum the Russian OBcial representative explain that Federation was represented by a beginning performer of the Russian folk songs Ms. Anna Rumyantseva, student of the Russian State University of the International Law and Economics named after A.S. Griboyedov. She performed the Russian folk songs and dances that were well known throughout the world. Listening her voice you could feel a natural need for singing of the Russian people and would understand how melodic songs help them to express their soul. Anna’s first song “Oy, to ne vecher” (“It is not a evening”) have passed through the all complicated life of Russia. It is very old song, its author is unknown. It told us about a very memorable historic event of the Russian history – the huge popular uprising led by Stepan Razin. Konyashin explain that the second one was “V roshche kalina” (“There is a guelder-rose in the woods”). It is a very mere, quite funny and comic dancing folk music that told us about way of life and leisure of theRussian people in the ancient times.
Last year a folk Tatar national ensemble “Sornay” (city of Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation) took part in the Third Asian Cultural Festival with a marvelous performance. The band played ancient musical instruments of Tatar people which have no modern analogs. At the Second Asian Cultural Festival in 2015 the Russian Federation was represented by a group of Sudanese students who studied the Russian language at the Khartoum State University.
They perform the Russian folk dances and songs “Katyusha” and “Kalyinka” that are well known throughout the world. Moreover, they recited fragments of the great Russian poems in the original language The Russian Embassy in Khartoum is highly pleased to invite he said that its guests to the next Asian Festival, where everybody will find himself in the atmosphere of national traditions of the oriental countries and modern achievements of their peoples. Russia is very proud of being part of Asia, as well as Europe, and takes an active part in the life of this region – the largest in the world by area and by population, a cradle of ancient cultures and civilizations, the fastest growing economics of our planet. Come next year to feel the incredible taste of Asia with us!
