Calle Sur concert at DWU

MITCHELL – In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15), the DWU Multicultural Committee is celebrating and sharing Hispanic culture by sponsoring Calle Sur at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 10 in the Sherman Center.

Calle Sur is a charismatic Latin American music group with roots in Central and South America. Although they both originate from the Latino and Hispanic cultures, their life experiences are vastly different. Ed East is from urban Panama City and Karin Stein is from rural Columbia.

East and Stein live in Iowa, but they perform all over the world, including New York, Colorado, Costa Rica and Malaysia. They have released numerous CDs with other groups they either direct or codirect.

Calle Sur (Kah-yeh SOOR), Spanish for "South Street," has traveled nation-wide and internationally, has been featured on a variety of TV shows, and has provided the film score for three documentaries. Calle Sur's lively concerts are sprinkled with anecdotes and humor.

This event is free and open to the public.
