    Since 1987, the Utah Arts Council Folk Arts Program has hosted free concerts of folk music and ethnic dance at the Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts, located in the center of Salt Lake City's Liberty Park. Bring your lawn chair or picnic blanket! The fourth performance in the Utah Arts Council's Mondays in the Park Concert series features the Venezuelan music of Venezuela Cantando and Japanese drumming by Kenshin Taiko. At the heart of Venezuela Cantando is the Garcia family from the town of Barquisimeto in Venezuela. Their tropical music is played on cuatro maracas, guitar, and laced with the distinctive harpa llanera or 'plains harp' of the savannas region. Taiko drumming is a dramatic Japanese art form that requires the combined skills of musicianship and choreography. Sponsored by the Japanese Church of Christ in Salt Lake City, Kenshin Taiko performs an adaptation of this centuries-old drumming tradition designed for modern audiences.
