On Sunday June 11 from 2 to 5pm, the Boston-based folklore dance ensemble LUDO MLADO will present three hours of music, traditional costumes, dancing and free workshops so everyone can join in the traditional horo (circle dance). Ludo Mlado is devoted to preserving and spreading awareness of the rich dance traditions of Bulgaria and the Balkan people. Come and celebrate the music and rhythms of Bulgaria outside on the front lawn at the UU Meeting House.

On Monday June 12 beginning at 7pm, the JAH-N-I ROOTS BAND featuring JahRiffe will bring live world roots reggae inside the UU Meeting House. JahRiffe describes the music as “a vibe, an aura, a frequency that transmits messages through our inner ear and being” and “a message that reminds us who we are.” In addition to a full music set by the band, J1 and H2B international students and workers are invited to perform a few songs too.
