July 1: Today’s Events at the Folklife Festival

Welcome to day two of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival! This morning, enjoy some music from South America with Chirimía la Contundencia. This group, composed of wind and percussion instruments, jams to traditional rhythms of the Colombian Pacific.  Later on, take a trip back in time to the era of doo-wop with Sonny Til’s Orioles or head over to the Peace Corps’ Home Cooking stage to sample cuisine from Peru, Mali and more.  Tonight, check out the Motor City stage for an evening with Miss Martha Reeves, legendary lead singer of Martha and the Vandellas, the group behind “Dancing in the Street,” or join Circo Ciudad, Tango de Medellín and Don Abundio y sus Traviesos for a musical journey through Colombia.
