The music of South and Central America will fill the air at Riverbank Park on Saturday, August 20 when “KEMA” plays a free concert at 6 PM. (Riverbank Park is located on Market St. between Somme & Van Buren Sts.)
“KEMA plays beautiful music, using the instruments and wearing the costumes which are traditional to Central and South American musicians,” said Rev. Moacir Weirich, from the SPARK Friends of Riverbank Park Board. “They are extremely talented, and we are grateful to have a chance to hear them. Their music is exquisite. “ The group uses pipes, drums and a variety of stringed instruments, playing music of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador and other countries of South and Central America.
The KEMA concert is part of the Riverbank Park Cultural Arts Program, sponsored by the SPARK Friends of Riverbank Park, and the New Jersey Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs.
