I just heard about the Brooklyn Folk Festival at Jalopy (315 Columbia St. between Woodhull and Rapelye streets in Red Hook, (718) 395-3214) on May 21-23.

There will also be shows at  Cabrini Urban Meadow Park on President Street between Columbia and Van Brunt streets.

The festival will include an eclectic mix of old-timey music, blues,  jug band music, New Orleans jazz, folk, Greek, African and Mexican folk music.

“It’s not so much getting big acts for the festival, but about getting quality acts,” organizer Eli Smith told the Brooklyn Paper. . “That’s why the Mexican folk band, Radio Jarocho, Gambian kora player Salieu Suso and American blues and folk musician Blind Boy Paxton are highlights of the festival.”
