Award-winning accordeonist Alvaro Meza and singer Emiliano Daza [pictured] will feature among the colorful performers at this free Sunday afternoon culture fest next week—an event that drew some 2,000 punters last year. You’ll find your body shaking to the rhythms of popular folk genre vallenato as interpreted by Meza and Daza alongside some of their countrymen and selected Japanese performers. Dancers will demonstrate how to really shake your stuff Colombia-style, when you’re not tucking into tasty food and drink from the region.
