KYY is a Colombian folk music group that started in London when a few immigrant families gathered in an effort to keep their Colombian roots alive. Inspired by our ancestors, we play traditional Caribbean music. This music, a fusion of African, European and South American rhythms, greatly enriches our culture. Using different kinds of musical instruments such as the bamboo flute, rattles, drum, accordion and others, it creates a range of phenomenal sounds.
The Huron Multicultural Festival is a FREE event held in Courthouse Square park in Goderich, Ontario that celebrates diversity in Canada through music, dance, arts, food and customs from around the world.
