FREE Courtroom Concert featuring Ina-Yukka

Ina-Yukka is a mother and son duet that performs indigenous traditional music from South America and the New Song Movement. By combining the sounds of wooden flutes, strings, native drum, and their beautiful vocal harmonies, Vladimir and Nia bring to the Twin Cities their love for music and family, peace and justice… and of course… a respect for Mother Earth and a call for unity and understanding.
