Kečera Folk Ensemble. First American Tour.

 

The folk group Kecera from the Rusyn village of Jakubany in Northeastern Slovakia will be performing for the first time in the US. Jakubany has a rich cultural heritage, including distinctive folklore, music, dance and costume. The villagers of Jakubany developed these traditions based on their relationships with the forests, pastures and mountains that surround them. In fact, "Kecera" is named after a small mountain on the outskirts of their village. The performances by Kecera are not only artistic and educational, but they help to keep alive the traditions and values of the people. Kecera depicts traditional life in Jakubany through song, dance and costume. People from around the world have enjoyed viewing scenes from weddings, christenings, holidays, celebrations and also everyday life. Kecera's beautiful and original songs have been recorded and sold throughout the world. We are lucky to have Kecera perform in the U.S.A.
