Mexican Folkloric Music performed by an emerging collective of young Mexican artists dedicated to the study and promotion of "Son Jarocho" and "Son Huasteco." This lively music is danced mostly in festivals, on streets and parks of the coast of Veracruz and other neighboring towns. Not only can you dance to these sounds, but every song tells a hilarious and/or dramatic story that makes this type of performance a whole interactive experience! Truly exciting -- everyone ends up dancing!

SATURDAY: UPTOWN ART STROLL - WASHINGTON HEIGHTS/INWOOD

May 31 - June 18th. In four years, the annual Uptown Arts Stroll has grown from a one-day event that primarily attracted visual artists to a three-week extravaganza that offers a rainbow of visual and performing arts. This is a testament to the growing arts community in Washington Heights and Inwood and to the support that Northern Manhattan's residents and organizations have given to the effort. The bridges built between the different segments of our population become stronger the more we work together on common goals. In this way, art serves as a universal language.

The website — a collaborative effort of WaHI Online, www.WaHIarts.com and The Manhattan Times — gives you an overview of the events and venues where the 2006 Uptown Arts Stroll lives and breathes. The website also lists the artists, arts groups and sponsors whose inspiration, perspiration, and contributions have resulted in an event that can make all Northern Manhattanites proud.
