Grupo Condor will perform Latin American folk music at the Tualatin Library on Saturday, October 8th, 2 pm to 3 pm. This group expertly blends the traditional musical styles of all of Spanish-speaking America with string, flute, and percussion instruments.
After the performance kids grades three and up will make their own pan flutes in a workshop taught by the performers. Preregistration is required for the workshop which has a limit of 25 participants.

Edna Vazquez will sing Spanish-language ballads with folk, rock, pop, and Mariachi influences at the Tualatin Library on Saturday, September 17th, 3 pm to 4 pm.
Vazquez was born in Mexico and sent to the US by her parents when she was a teenager. Since arriving in Oregon, she’s become a musician who performs original compositions that pay homage to her international influences with a passion that comes through in every note of her music. She lifts the audience’s spirits during her live performances with a vocal range that allows her to transition seamlessly between folk, rock, pop and Mariachi, all while exploring jazz stylings.
