Each Music Beyond Borders concert will feature a performance of world music reflecting the culture and population of the area. (In case of rain, concerts will be held indoors at the United Methodist Church.)
Music Beyond Borders concert schedule:
June 25: Feraba — This multicultural and multiethnic performance group fuses the traditional sounds and movements of West Africa with the American artistic forms of tap dance and jazz. www.feraba.com.
July 9: Taikoza, Japanese taiko drumming — Roughly translated, Taiko means big drums — and that's exactly what Taikoza brings: big drums, powerful rhythms and room-thumping energy that draws from Japan's music tradition. www.taikoza.com.
July 23: Argentine Tango Dancers — With a style that's high speed, musically precise, and exploding with energy, fast foot work and lifts, skilled Argentine dancers showcase the dynamic, sensual and unique styles of tango.
August 6: The Didge Project, Australian aborigine didgeridoo — The Didge Project is where world rhythms and tribal beats meet modern jazz and hip-hop, blending the sound of the didgeridoo, an aboriginal wind instrument used for ritual and ceremony, with modern instruments to blaze new sonic territory. www.didgeproject.com.
