The second day of this festival features Sounds of Korea, under the direction of Sue Yeon Park, noted master artist and recipient of the NEA National Heritage Fellowship, in an engaging repertoire that includes the mesmerizing fan dance and the dazzling drums of ecstasy; the vibrant Ballet Fiesta Mexicana founded by Yloy Ybarra in 1999 that celebrates the rich and diverse repertory of Mexico's various regions, and is accompanied by guest artists Flor De Toloache, New York’s only all-female mariachi band; and Kinding Sindaw, New York’s stellar group dedicated to reclaiming, recreating and preserving indigenous Philippine culture and traditions.
