A free live outdoor musical performance in a traditionally cultural community park by a six (6) piece band led by Ricardo, the Harmonicaman! This performance explores the harmonica's place in history, it's musical range, and promotes it's use and influence in popular ...and evolving music in the Americas. The musicians all shine a palpable joy through the music that ought to be shared. Referencing an old African proverb: "The Spirit will not descend without sound!" This performance brings it.
