This is a report of the traditional feast which was celebrated on November 6 this year 2019, in the municipality of Mongiuffi Melia (consisting of the two centers of Melia and Mongiuffi, in the province of Messina) in honor of St. Leonard of Noblac , also known as St. Leonard Abbot or hermit, for He was a French abbot who for much of his life he lived as a hermit; November 6 is the date of the saint's death, maybe He died in 1599. San Leonardo is originally the patron saint of convicts, prisoners (when the saint was in life he dedicated himself to prisoners of war, trying to free them, also trying to relieve the severe corporal punishment and fines which they had to submit); later also became the patron saint of blacksmiths, manufacturers of chains, farmers, miners (and robbers), and women in labor too: He rescued Queen Clotilde who had gone into a coma due to serious complications during childbirth, her intervention best solved that serious situation with the queen who succeeded in awakening from a state of coma and giving birth to a beautiful child. In southern Italy the cult of this saint was introduced by the Normans. It's strange to observe that in the hamlet of Mongiuffi besides the devotion to St. Leonard (he is always holding the chains), there is also a great devotion to the "Madonna of the chain", She is holding chains too (and in fact in Mongiuffi there is a sanctuary dedicated to Her).
On the morning of November 6, after the Solemn Mass, the Saint is carried on shoulders on the artistic float , with the music of the local band ("St. Leonard’s band"of Mongiuffi) along the narrow and perched alleys. An exciting time it can be observed when the procession arrives at the Fountain Square, in the center of the country, and here is made a gift to this Patron Saint: He receive a "cuddura" (a donut dough braided) particularly embellished with elegant compositions made always in bread dough, so after "smaller cuddure" are distributed to the population (so called "St. Leonard's cuddure"). At the end of the procession, the float with San Leonardo returns to the church, here we see an other characteristic tradition, called "a 'pisata" (the weighing), now it takes place in symbolic form (in some Sicilian centers it is still performed according to the most rigid tradition, with variations linked to the place), consists in weighing very young children on a rustic weight scale: placed on an axis whose pivot is constituted by one of the arms of the float, the child has as counterweight a sack of wheat , who, once balance is reached, will be given to the Saint.
Particularly interesting to visit the land of Mongiuffi Melia are the so-called Arcofie or Contrabbone, galleries for the transition from house to house probably built by the Arabs.

Questo è un racconto che ho realizzato il 6 novembre di quest'anno 2019, della tradizionale festa che si celebra nel comune di Mongiuffi Melia (composto dai due centri di Melia e di Mongiuffi, in provincia di Messina, tra loro separati da una vallata) in onore di San Leonardo di Noblac, anche conosciuto come San Leonardo abate od eremita, infatti egli fu un abate francese che per gran parte della sua vita visse da eremita; il 6 novembre è la data della morte del santo, che sembra essere avvenuta nel 1599. San Leonardo è originariamente il santo patrono dei carcerati (egli si dedicò ai prigionieri di guerra, tentando possibilmente di liberarli, e comunque cercando di allieviare le loro gravose pene e corporali e pecuniarie alle quali erano costretti a sottostare); successivamente egli divenne anche il santo protettore dei fabbri, dei fabbricanti di catene, delle puerpere (soccorse la regina Clotilde che era entrata in coma per gravi complicanze sopravvenute durante il parto, il suo intervento risolse al meglio quella grave situazione con la regina che riuscì così a risvegliarsi dallo stato di coma ed a dare alla luce un bimbo), degli agricoltori, dei minatori (e dei briganti). Nell'Italia meridionale il culto per questo santo fu introdotto dai Normanni. E' quanto meno singolare osservare che nella frazione di Mongiuffi oltre alla devozione per San Leonardo, raffigurato con in mano delle catene, ci sia anche una sentitissima devozione per la "Madonna della catena", anch'Ella raffiguarata con in mano delle catene (a Mongiuffi c'è un santuario a Lei dedicato).
La mattina del 6 novembre, dopo la Santa Messa Solenne, il Santo viene portato in spalla sul suo artistico fercolo con baldacchino ligneo, al seguito ci sono i fedeli e la banda musicale (la banda musicale "San Leonardo" di Mongiuffi), la processione si snoda non senza fatica lungo le strette ed inerpicate viuzze, spesso baciate dal sole e bardate per l'occasione a festa. Un momento emozionante lo si può osservare quando la processione giunge in piazza fontana, nel centro del paese, qui vien fatto dono al Santo Protettore della "cuddura" (una tipica ciambella di pasta di pane intrecciata e cotta nel forno a legna) particolarmente impreziosita da eleganti composizioni, realizzate sempre in pasta di pane; subito dopo vengono distribuite alla popolazione le cuddure più piccole (chiamate le cuddure di San Leonardo), recanti l'effigie del Santo, che viene stampata sulle trecce di pane. Alla fine della processione, la vara con San Leonardo rientra in chiesa, qui si assiste ad un'altra caratteristica tradizione, detta "a' pisata" (la pesata), oramai si svolge in forma simbolica (in alcuni centri siciliani ancora viene eseguita secondo la più rigida tradizione, con varianti legate al luogo), consiste nel pesare bambini molto piccoli su di una bilancia rustica: posti su di un asse il cui perno è costituito da uno dei bracci della vara, il bambino ha come contrappeso un sacco di grano, il quale, raggiunto l'equilibrio, verrà donato al Santo. In coda a questa breve descrizione c'è da menzionare che nell'antigo borgo di Mongiuffi Melia si possono ammirare le cosiddette Arcofie o Contrabbone, antiche gallerie che servivano da passaggio da un’abitazione all’altra, costruite probabilmente dagli Arabi e delle quali sono rimaste due particolari testimonianze.

Coyote Willow Performing at Pine Fest Music Festival in Halfway Oregon
A spectacular Saturday on the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway for day Pine Fest - Halfway, Oregon with the award Coyote Willow.
Billed as the tiniest music festival in the tiniest town, Pine fest is one of our favorite fall events along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway. We had a great day hanging out with locals and visitors from Oregon Idaho and Washington listening to a great line up of bands and musicians from throughout the Northwest at the Baker County Fairgrounds in Halfway.
Pine Fest is the largest musical festival in Halfway but the community also hosts a number of other musical events including the summer concert series on the Main Street Stage. For more information about Pine Fest including next year’s dates and performers visit www.pinefest.org
The town of Halfway is just one of numerous small towns along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway, a loop that encircles the Wallowa Mountains, intersecting with Interstate 84 at Baker City and La Grande, and communities all along the byway host a variety of festivals and community events throughout the year providing visitors a chance to celebrate local culture and visit with locals while exploring this incredibly scenic region of North East Oregon.
The byway is a popular destination for group tours and offers visitors a chance to experience small town Americana in small towns like Halfway, as they explore the rugged and spectacular Northeast Oregon landscape along the way.
The entire route is on a paved highway. Plan ahead - you'll find stretches of more than eighty miles without gas and with few services. A segment of the Byway between Joseph and Halfway closes with snow in winter, but allows access to winter recreation areas, offering a whole other kind of Northeast Oregon Adventure.

I had a blast seeing a live jazz performance featuring Edy Brisseaux, presented as a part of the Haiti Cultural Exchange's "Mizik Ayiti!" First Thursdays--which occurs the first Thursday of each month.
The event usually takes place at the Five Myles Gallery location on St. John's Place, but this night the location was at the Crown Heights Cafe (which has been having several wonderful events so check them out!.)

They performed three forms of Santali dance - Baha, Sohorai and Dong.
SNTALS
The Santhal (also spelled as Santal) are one of the Tribal peoples who live mainly in the states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, and Assam. They are one of the largest tribal community and one of the most studied tribal religions in India.The insurrection of the Santhals was mainly against the British and their supporters. On 30 June 1855 the Santhal rebel leaders Sidhu Murmu and Kanu Murmu mobilized 30 thousand Santhals and declared a rebellion against the British Raj.
The Santhals are an agricultural tribe, from time immemorial they have cleared forests, toiled the land, and produced food for subsistence. Beside agriculture they also domesticate animals. Apart from these the Santhals also are well versed in the art of hunting, where their exceptional skills with bow and arrows is noticeable.
SANTALI CULTURE
The Santhali culture has attracted many scholars and anthropologists for decades. Unlike many other tribal groups of the Indian subcontinent, the Santhals have preserved their native language despite waves of migrations and invasions such as Aryan, Hun, Mughals, Europeans, and others.
Santhali culture is depicted in the paintings and artworks in the walls of their houses. The Santhals mainly prefer group performance than solo, which is an important feature of tribal art form in India. Group dancing and singing is the most important medium to express their joy and happiness. The Santhali dance and music is tuned with the nature of occasion whether it is social or ceremonial. The three most quintessential instruments in Santhali music are two kinds of drums one Tumdak and the other Tamak, and Tiriao or flute. The Tumdak is a double headed drum having the shape of a frustum, the drum skins at left and right are made of animal skins. The one at the left has bigger circumference than the right. The Tamak has a hemispherical shape, with a wider circumference and played by two drum sticks. Tiriao or basically a bansuri is a bamboo made musical instrument with five holes.
The most well known dance form of the Santhals is a group of women with interlocked hands forming a semicircle, encircling a relatively smaller group of male percussionists at the centre. The dance steps and movements are in accordance with the beats which is relatively simple. The dance forms, countenance, and beats differ from region to region. The Santhali Dance have a wide variety and types and is tuned with ceremony and social celebrations. The Dasai dance is performed only by males of the community on festive occasions. Langre, Guluri, and Humti is danced all round the year, whereas Baha and Sohorai are only for festive seasons. In social ceremonies like marriage Dong is danced. Along with these popular dances some other rare forms like Rinjha and Jhika also exist and performed only in few regions.
The Santhal songs also have a variety similar to their dance, the Santali word for song is "Sereng". Generally singing is accompanied with dancing but there are some songs which do not include dancing. There is also a kind of song sung during the sowing of paddy. The "Gam Sereng" is another type of song which is sung in hot summer evening. Courtesy : (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santhal_people)
Spring watch at Baroghutu
Spring all over the World is a season of colors, and celebration of lives. Holi, a festival of colours, is a festival of Spring celebrated by the Hindus allover India. On the eve of Holi, in the last week of February this year, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to join the celebration of lives at Baroghutu with all its elements including the tribal dance performed by the Santals.
Mukutmanipur's undulating forested landscape marked by the vibrant colors of Palash (Butea monosperma) is refreshing and invigorating for the body and mind. It is marked by the prominent hillock about 200 metres high, locally named "Baroghutu" (Baro- twelve, ghutu-/stones/hill). The tribal (mostly santals) hamlets of Baroghutu, Jambeda, Kumorbahal, Dhagora and Mukutmanipur encircle this hillock. With a landscape that seems naturally designed for adventure, Mukutmanipur offers opportunities in rock climbing, trekking and a variety of water sports.
The local tribal festivals, Tusu, Bhadu, Sahrai and Badna are symbolized by fascinating music and dance, and strengthen the Mukutmanipur experience, laden with the relaxed air of nature in the heartland. The Bankura district has a tribal population famous for its music, art and culture. Mukutmanipur is one such quaint village. The community will provide the tourist with a life that is stress free.
