Trio Lococó performs World Music with a Middle Eastern flair, enhanced with Flamenco guitar work and song. The group also plays traditional rhythms from across Latin America and Spain incorporating the Spanish flute, accordion, cajon, tamborello and many other hand percussion instruments.

The featured artist this month is Sandy Stevenson whose work will be on display at Sweets ‘n Stuff, (#21 on the map). This award-winning artist paints the sea, coastlines and deserts she encounters in her travels. Her work has been described as luminous, with compelling light and mystery. Stevenson has studied with a number of internationally known artists and has created art in Mexico, Southeast Asia and China.
