Landfall Festival of World Music

Peel away the layers of Matuto's music and you'll hear indigenous sounds from Europe, Africa, Appalachia and Louisiana swamps. Together, they create a spicy roots stew that crosses continents.

It's the kind of global sound that gets at the heart of Legion Arts' sixth annual Landfall Festival of World Music, in which more than 70 musicians from 12 countries will bring sounds ethnic and edgy to various Cedar Rapids venues.

This year's moveable feast begins Tuesday (9/24) with Matuto at Opus Concert Cafe. The music continues through the week at CSPS, the Cedar Rapids Public Library and First Presbyterian Church. Landfall wraps up Sept. 28 with a free lineup all day at Greene Square Park in downtown Cedar Rapids. New this year will be nourishment for the body, as well as soul, with food vendors in the park.
