Ireland came to the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) in Zimbabwe this year!!!
Traditional Irish music group Téada rocked out!

I say that and I once won an award for playing the flute.*)

Apparently he just won accordion player of the year in Ireland!
This made me laugh. Oh, how I love the Irish.
