About
Highlighting ancestral music untouched by European influence, along with Afro-Peruvian melodies and traditional sounds of South American pan flutes and drums, Sikuris St. Lawrence is excited to participate in this year’s Showcase Series.
Committed to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Andean region, Sikuris St. Lawrence gathers again to create deeper appreciation for the rich cultural traditions of the Andes and pay respect to the ancient music of South America.
Taking place in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, the Showcase Series is a community initiative which features a landscape of cultural identities from the Asian, African and Caribbean, and Latin American diasporas in Toronto, amplifying voices of colour through creative expression, storytelling and cultural participation.
