Music festival brings dancing, cultural variety to Bryan
By GINA HOWARD
Special to The BATTALION
Texas A&M calls itself a center
of multiculturalism, and this
weekend Aggies from all over the
world will nave a chance to spot
light the musical style of their
homeland for the Brazos Valley.
Their opportunity will come
Saturday in the Second Interna
tional Music Festival, a three-hour
how produced by the Internation
al Student Association (ISA) as part
of ISA's observance of its "Discov
er the World Year" at A&M.
The music festival is part of
FestiFall '92, organized by the
Arts Council of Brazos Valley and
held in downtown Bryan.
"The Music Festival is a variety
program brought together by stu
dents from various international
clubs, faculty members, and pro
fessional bands," said Mukul
Goel, co-director of the festival.
"It is expected that the program
will generate interest and aware
ness regarding international music,
dances, and culture amongst stu
dents and the community," he said.
Attractions at the music festival
will include El Ballet Folklorico, a
group of folk dancers from Mexi
co and Spain; a Chinese opera
with traditional Chinese musical
instruments and a colorful New
Year dance; and House of Usher,
a local reggae band.
Goel said this is only one of the
programs ISA sponsors through
out the year.
"ISA supports all the interna
tional clubs and is known for pro
ducing high quality student cul
tural events," said Goel, a civil en
gineering graduate student.
Financial and organizational
support for the event is provided
by ISA and the volunteers from
the International Music Club
(IMQ.
They (the musicians) aim to
break the geographical barriers
and play music which blends to
gether, harmonizing the beauty
and sensitivity of music from all
over the world," Goel said.

17, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday,
Oct. 18, noon to 5 p.m. The Inter
