Music makes the world go round

Singers, players and dancers from Russia, Jordan, Haiti and Wisconsins own Ho-Chunk nation come together this weekend for workshops and concerts at the annual Madison World Music Festival. Events are, unsurprisingly, virtual this year, but theres still plenty to watch and listen to. Events kick off at 1 p.m. on Friday with Natu Camara: Music of Hope and Healing, and the West African singers performance will be at 8:30 p.m. that night. The nine-piece, multigenerational Haitian group Lazou Mizik closes out the weekend on Saturday after hosting a dance workshop for kids. There is no charge for these events.
