Kečera
Folk Ensemble
First American Tour -- September
19 - 28, 2014
Come and experience the folk traditions of Jakubany, Slovakia for yourself!
The
folk group Kecera from the Rusyn village of Jakubany in Northeastern Slovakia
will be performing for the first time in the United States. 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.
