CHAYAG CELEBRATES CINCO DE MAYO
AT THE
NEWPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY
Friday, May 2, 2008
7:00 p.m
In recognition of Cinco de Mayo, the Andean musical group Chayag will perform at the Newport Public Library on Friday, May 2, at 7:00 p.m. Chayag's musical director, Alex Llumiquinga, and Sean Koreski are the featured performers.
"Chayag has performed at the library before, and they have a great interactive relationship with the audience," said librarian Sheryl Eldridge. "Their songs can be haunting and sorrowful, or foot-stomping and joyous. Music-lovers of all ages will enjoy their program!"
Llumiquinga is from Ecuador where he learned Ecuadorian music from his grandfather and uncle. He plays South American folk music as well as traditional Andean music. During performances, he plays a number of traditional and contemporary instruments, including native flutes, charangos, zampoña, kenachos, the guitar, violin and mandolin.
Sean Koreski has played the panflute and other Andean flutes for the past 23 years. His repertoire spans from traditional Andean folk music to New Age world music. He has played in concert halls, on radio, and on television in Bolivia and the U.S.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the library at 265-2153 or check its website, at www.newportlibrary.org .
