Richard Tucker Park Concerts 8.04.10 Raices.avi

Lincoln Square heats up this summer with a series of free outdoor concerts at Richard Tucker Park, every Wednesday from Noon until 2:00pm, July 7 to September 1. Grab your lunch and some friends and hit this lively oasis at Broadway and 66th Street to enjoy a taste of New York's underground music scene.

This weekly series of free lunch time performances is presented by the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District (BID) (www.lincolnsquarebid.org) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Arts for Transit's Music Under New York (MUNY) program with support from Cabot Creameries.

This video features the group Raices. Andean flute player Edgar Paucar created the group Raices in 1992. With members from Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, the group has the desire to express feelings of nostalgia and their longing for their homelands. They have performed at Symphony Space, Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, Town Hall, the National Museum of the American Indian, and numerous festivals. Edgar has been the acting grand master of the Inti Rami festivities in New York for the last few years. www.raicesgroup.com
