Humingbird Music Project
Members of the KY Old Time Music, Inc. community—CornMaiz and Brett Ratliff—recently traveled to Mexico in partnership with the Hummingbird Music Project for a cultural exchange between traditional Appalachian artists and traditional artists from the Mexican state of Michoacán. The programs were largely based in Pátzcuaro at La Jacaranda Cultural Pátzcuaro, but the group also enjoyed a very special day in Tingambato visiting ancient archeological sites, enjoying local street food, and jamming with local musicians. Many thanks to our hosts Fred and Meg Snyder from the Hummingbird Music Project for helping make this happen!
