Musicians and delegates from Ambon, Indonesia visit Paducah, KY
Announcing an exciting collaboration at this year’s LTAMF: The Wheelhouse Rousters and Kaihulu!
These two groups had the opportunity to meet through the UNESCO Creative Cities event, the Jinju World Folk Arts Biennale, in Jinju, South Korea. Their connection came naturally during a warm up before the performance when they started seamlessly jamming together. The Jinju festival director noticed the unique combination of musicians and ended up asking them to collaborate for the final performance. Having these two groups perform together at Lower Town Arts & Music Festival will be a once in a lifetime event- so don’t miss it!
