Huellos (pronounced Wayas)
New to Harrogate last year, this family of Ecuadorian singer/performers brought a breath of fresh air to our festival as well as gaining new fans. The bright colourful costumes are just one part of the act, the performances are full of energy, and vibrancy which needs to be seen to be believed. Huellos will have a stand in the main room where copies of their CD’s will be on sale and hair braiding will be available. Although they speak some English, one of our stand holders/performers Simon Elliot (Simon can be found in the programme under the name of Myra Evans) will be available as an interpreter for those who wish to ask questions over the weekend.

Whirling Dervishes – www.shifameditation.com
Deriving from the Sufi Mevlevi order that was founded by Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi who was a great mystic and poet. Today the Mevi Levi order is still a flowing fountain and has been authorised to practice by the Sufi master Shaijkh Mohammed Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani. The costumes and movements of the dancers are highly spiritually symbolic, ultimately resulting in spiritual re-birth. The Whirling Ritual is known as Sema and the dancers - the Semazen convey God’s spiritual gift to those who are witnessing the Sema, embracing all humanity with love.
