---------------
"There is magic in the music that you have to hear to understand why people keep on wanting to do it. When you see somebody come in a hall who hasn't danced before, their eyes just light right up. They get swept up into it physically. You all of a sudden are being involved in this music - besides playing it or listening to it, you are doing something to it. And it's something you are not doing solo. It is something you do with other people"
Taken from Together in Time - A Contra video
----------------
Contra is the special sound of New England in that it remains active social dance music. This is participatory music.
