Ye Kai was on a bus bound for Greer Town, this route only has one bus a day, fortunately Ye Kai came early today, otherwise he would definitely miss it.

When he returned to the hotel last night, he planned his itinerary for the next few days.

Since riverdances will be performed in Dublin on October 26, Ye Kai is free to arrange travel routes before the show starts.

Why do you want to go to this town called Greer? Because when he returned to the hotel last night, Ye Kai dug out the leaflet given by this old man in his pocket.

This is the potato festival that takes place every year in the small town of Greer.

The Potato Festival is not a national festival and is not even very well-known in Ireland itself. It's just a small local festival, but it still caught Ye Kai's attention.

It's not entirely because of the old man's invitation, it's not that Ye Kai likes to eat potatoes, he is curious why potatoes have festivals, is everyone eating potatoes together?

Or the potato contest?

But do those really matter? When you meet a festival in Ireland, you're done with it.

I don't know if all developed cities are rich.

All coaches in Ireland are luxury buses, even for short one-hour rides, with so much space that you can even sleep in the car.

An hour and a half later, Grell arrived.

While still in the car, Ye Kai heard the sound of Irish bagpipes, and the appearance of this instrument was ugly in Ye Kai's eyes. He had three parts, a large leather pouch, clamped under the armpit.

Then there is a mouthpiece, which is placed in the mouth to supply air to the skin, and the blowing makes the skin puff up.

The last part, like the Chinese flute, has several vents, which can be held down or released in a fixed fingering pattern to change the notes of the Irish bagpipes.

Who still uses such an ugly instrument?

Of course.

Because it is a rogue instrument, it can continue to produce the same sound as Mongolian hoomai, and it can also produce harmonies. And the timbre is low, mournful, and has a unique sound quality.

It may be that Ye Kai is accustomed to Chinese aesthetics, in short, he is used to seeing those traditional musical instruments full of beauty in China, but he is not used to these large and complex types of musical instruments.

Bagpipes can be seen at all events in Ireland, and they are as distinctive an Irish symbol as the harp and whistle.

The car crossed the river and stopped at the edge of the town.

I heard that every city in Ireland has its own river, and even the name of each river is different, which Ye Kai doesn't want to delve into, but there is indeed a river here.

The town is a hundred meters from the river, and the distance is a beach with a width of one hundred meters, and the sand is very fine, as if it were on the seaside.

Foreign children are so happy, let alone small towns in China, even some cities do not have such good sports venues. It was nice to have fun and bask in the sun on the beach and swim in the river.

Far away, Ye Kai saw a huge canvas on the beach, on which was written the 36th Potato Festival in the town of Greer.

There were already hundreds of people below, and the sound of music was coming from there.

Listening to the cheerful music of Celtic folk songs, even introverts like Ye Kai want to dance and dance their bodies to this rhythm. And by this moment the Irish were already dancing.

Ye Kai clicked the shutter and recorded their happy smiles.

A child suddenly shouted, "Foreigner!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Lai, and even the music stopped, making Ye Kai feel like a little sheep falling into the territory of a group of lions.

Soon, a shout rang out.

"Welcome foreign friends to our potato festival, yo roar!"

"Let's keep jumping!

The music resumed, and the tempo was faster, men, women, and children danced one after another, but no one paid attention to Ye Kai, the guest. This situation was something that Ye Kai didn't expect at all.

The girl playing the violin stood up, her hands did not stop, and with light steps under her feet, she jumped to Ye Kai's side like an elf.

"Come on, dance together. ”

"But I won't. ”

She played the violin to the slightest rhythm, and there was an incredible look on her face, as if to say, "Oh my God? There are still people who can't dance."

"Kang busy, follow me, I'll teach you. ”

Humans are social animals and have a herd mentality.

The more similarities, the greater the impact, that is, everyone is dancing, and if you don't dance, you will feel awkward, and then you will jump along with it, which is called ...... in psychology.

"What are you doing in a daze?" the girl asked.

Ye Kai came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, how can you teach me." ”

"Left foot to the right, left. Take it back, right foot, left, right, right. Raise your leg ....... She played the violin in her hand, so she didn't teach Ye Kai the movements in her hand.

[Saoirse is teaching you to dance, you have learned a little jazz dance]

Can you learn a skill?

Ye Kai recalls jazz dance.

At this moment, it seemed to have crossed time and space, and Ye Kai, who was in another time and space, learned jazz dance since he was a child, but gave up halfway through learning. As a result, many actions cannot be done.

Saoirse was still reading, moving slowly under her feet: "Raise your legs? Why are you in a daze again." ”

"I think I've learned it before. Ye Kai said.

He danced, ran to Saoirse's side, and danced with her rhythm and pace. This dance step is a universal dance step in jazz dance, and you only need to control the speed of the dance according to the rhythm of the song.

"You're kidding me?"

"I swear, I really forgot. ”

Saoirse snorted and pulled the violin hard to produce a long note. Then the whole band stopped as if they had been whistled and looked at Saoirse.

"I'll forgive you if you can jump this song. ”

She played the violin again, and a series of rapid and rhythmic notes came out, and the band understood it and began to play this well-known Celtic folk piece.

Morrison's Jig。

Too fast, isn't it?

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to dance, you are here to participate in the festival, not to smash the field, and you have offended the band when you first come, I am afraid that I will be kicked out by them for a while.

When Ye Kai took off his backpack and put the camera aside, everyone cheered, applauded or shouted the rhythm in their mouths, cheering for Ye Kai, and beating the music.

Then they surrounded the city in a circle, and in the circle was Ye Kai and the band.

A normal level of jazz dance is enough for most music, but if you want to complete such a difficult song, a simple rhythm is definitely not enough.

If you can't use a universal template, it means that Ye Kai needs to make up a dance by himself. And it also needs to fit Morrison's Jig.

One of the band's long-haired drummers shouted, "Let's dance."
