Description

Join us in welcoming Okra Playground! A traditional Finnish music group (from Finland), they combine traditional music with modern instruments for a fresh sound. This will be a performance plus a workshop wherein they talk about their sound and the instruments they play. You may get to strum a kentele. All ages are welcome! Free.
