SUMMARY:7th Thrill Blues Festival, Trilj Croatia
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of Dalmatia, around 40 kilometers north of Sp
 lit, on the shores of the Cetina River lies a town called Trilj. Apart
  from the natural beauties and rich cuisine, Trilj will become famous
  worldwide for the blues.\r\n\r\nQ&A with Boris Hrepić Hrepa, art di
 rector of Thrill Blues Festival.\r\nHow started the thought of Thrill 
 Blues Festival? What is the hardest part of make a blues festival in E
 urope?\r\nAt November of 2017 I got a call from Darko, a guy from Tril
 j who is popular Croatian musician and also in music business. He had 
 just read my book \"I found a very good band\", a book about my passio
 n for music, and there was so much about the blues in it. He came up t
 o idea of organizing a music festival in his hometown and he asked me 
 about a blues festival. My grandmother was from Trilj, so I know the p
 lace, the park, the river and the bridge, and I said this was a great 
 idea, and I was sure it would work. It is not easy to make a blues fes
 tival anywhere in Europe, but here in Croatia is especially hard. It i
 s easier in Norway, the Nederlands, France, they have a lot of blues c
 lubs and strong blues scene, and Croatia is also at crossroads of west
 ern and eastern culture. The blues is here, but on the margins. The Th
 rill Blues Festival has a strong team of fighters, so we made a surpri
 singly good festival.\r\nHow do you describe Thrill Blues Festival's p
 hilosophy? How do you want it to affect people?\r\nI did my best to co
 lor Thrill Blues Festival with the vibe of blues that I felt when I fe
 ll in love for blues when I was around 17. For me blues is pure deep e
 ssence of Mother Earth, like playful little child, simple, opened, sin
 cere, direct. And it worked, every year during festival days a thousan
 ds people come to Trilj and we all together are a big happy family.\r\
 nWhich meetings in Thrill Blues Festival have been the most important 
 experiences for you?\r\nEvery year is bundle of new experience, with l
 ot of new friendships with blues brothers and sisters from all over th
 e world, and all that makes my heart fuller. Last year special and pre
 cious new friendship was with British famous blues producer Mike Verno
 n, such a good, humble and dear man. One memory I always telling aroun
 d, after 3rd Thrill Blues Festival finished, sometime around 3am, a hu
 ge guy approach me, a local one, looks like hillbilly, without few tee
 th. First, I get little scared, he looks to dangerously, he must be a 
 troublemaker, but then he made a big smile, he shook my hand and told 
 me: Thank you, I never heard in my life about that music called blues,
  but this is a best music in the world. Blues woke up child in him, an
 d he was so cool and happy.\r\n\r\nPhoto: Boris Hrepić Hrepa, art d
