Musica, mappe, stampe e vinili…dai colli, dalle valli, dalle piane e dai fienili…
Sunday, Sep. 21, from 4 to 8PM CET the first edition of the Jubelfest will take place in Tatti, Southern Tuscany.
The Jubelfest is a civic cultural event where participants will be able to experience, and contribute to, a melting pot of food for their mind and their stomachs. The hosts for the afternoon will be Jug Band dalle Colline Metallifere (JBCM), an international and inter-generational collective created in 2018 with the intent of combining music and professions related to rural issues to create outreach on its territories. The JBCM has over one hundred events in its track record and is has recently toured Germany for the fourth time in what was called “Jubel Tour”.
For your mind: the band will be proposing in a street music combo its enticing folk-blues-rock repertoire, next to a micro-exhibition including hand-made prints and T-shirts (produced by Tattistampa), vinyls, ancient games, maps, and books…this is a sample of objects that surround and inspire the JBCM’s activities (and are often created or kept by them, or by folks they collaborate with).
For your stomach: it will be possible to taste peculiar and high-quality products from Tuscany and Germany, in addition to a selection of wines (not just from the Metalliferous Hills, where Tatti is located). For the tasting, booking is required by September 19. Please book by writing to micalosapevo@pibinko.org or contacting +393317539228.
The Jubelfest might also be an opportunity to get to know Tatti and its surroundings, thanks to the trails proposed by the local Amministrazione Separata Beni Usi Civici (see link).
To add to this platter a little more international spice, some parts of the fest will be covered by ARTE TV, which since May is producing a documentary featuring Wolfgang Scheibe, the one-bass-string player with the JBCM, aka Tattistampa.
To wrap up the evening, as the 21st will be a new moon night, if the sky is clear it will be possible to take some measurements of light pollution and night sky quality, in the context of the BuioMetria Partecipativa project.
The Jubelfest is created and managed by the pibinko.org network (active since 2007 in interdisciplinary projects concerning the promotion and development of lesser-knon territories), with support by CircolArte Tatti and Associazione Beni Usi Civici di Tatti (additional support by other subjects is in the process of being finalized).
Last, but not least, the Jubelfest will be the opportunity to have a preview of the activities that the pibinko.org network is planning for the 2025-2026 Winter, and -who knows- maybe develop new collaborations.
Attending the Jubelfest is free, but it will be possible and appreciated if you leave something to further support the organizers and their projects (see https://www.pibinko.org/support). Non-Italian-speaking visitors are encouraged: the JBCM speaks Italian, English, French, German, and Portuguese.
If the weather will not help us, we have a plan B for an indoor fest. In this case, a reservation to micalosapevo@pibinko.org or +393317539228 will be much appreciated (our premises are not huge).
