2009 Entertainment

With a new entertainment lineup, there's something for everyone!  Be sure to bring (or buy) your gourd drums so you can play along!  Sambandha and Tribal Calling will provide world music from the center of the park.  Mamadou & Vanessa will return this year to perform both Saturday and Sunday .  Mamadou, a native of Mali, West Africa, performs on a unique 6-stringed gourd instrument, the doson'goni (hunter's harp). 

Enjoy sounds as diverse as the art around you as you stroll beneath the trees.   Whether it's the pastel sounds of Motoshi Kosako's harp or the earthy tones of Mamadou's doson'goni, pleasant sounds will be wafting through the park, creating a leisurely atmosphere - perfect for meandering through the park and choosing that perfect piece of art.
