Join the Colorado Folk Arts Council and Metropolitan State University of Denver JTOH program at the Aurora Fox (9900 E. Colfax) on Tuesday, May 6th for a Cinco de Mayo extravaganza. The concert begins at 12 noon-1:00 p.m.
The celebration features Colorado’s premier Ballet Folklorico group, Fiesta Colorado, under the direction of Jeanette Trujillo, Azteca dance Grupo Huitzlipotchli and CFAC German Dancers. The three groups teamed up a decade ago to demonstrate the lesser known subtle influences that have contributed to the music and dance of México over the centuries, including music from Germany.
The free shows are a tribute to the diverse and ethnic influences of the song and dances of México. The grand finale in the 2024/2025 Cultural Concerts series sponsored by the Aurora Fox and the CFAC, will mesmerize all.
Almost three decades ago the Colorado Folk Arts (CFAC) was asked by the offices of Original Aurora Renewal to host a monthly series of free cultural concerts at the historic Aurora Fox (9900 E. Colfax) they jumped at the opportunity. Back then, city officials saw that the demographics of the city were changing, and they wanted to create an art opportunity that would bridge the gap between the diverse populations in the area.
Today, CFAC and MSU Denver JTOH program have provided culturally educational programs for thousands of school children and the community. From Aztec Dancers to African Drumming to modern Hip Hop. The Cultural Concert Series on Colfax is a Colorado experience of culture.
Marc Lytle, CFAC board member, stated, “This free concerts series is our gift to the community. The continued support of the Aurora Fox, the Arapahoe SCFD, and our partners, Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) Journey Through Our Heritage program, ensures we can continue to offer these shows at the Aurora Fox.”
Free and open to the public. Reservations are required but for groups of 10 or more please email jtoh2016@gmail.com or text 720-329-0869 or visit http://www.colofolkarts.org.
