In my bf town they have this traditional 'band' of sorts who come around on special occasions and there are all these songs and dancing you need to do to let them into your house. It is not so simple as opening the door, they have to chant and we have to hide behind the door and chant back and this goes on for a while until the door is opened and the party begins! <br/>For the life of me I cannot recall the name of this 'band' and the 'ceremony' they do! <strong><em>Leanne, there's something similar here although no chanting that I'm aware of. We are supposed to let them sing outside for a few songs before letting them in and giving them some wine though ;) </strong></em> Ciao Sognatrice,

Leanne, there’s something similar here although no chanting that I’m aware of. We are supposed to let them sing outside for a few songs before letting them in and giving them some wine though ;)
