Poetry on a stool and tassa drumming are among the treats as the Rupununi Music and Arts Festival continues today at the Manari Ranch.

The now annual cultural extravaganza will end tomorrow and its Director Rob Ramdhani is envisaging a “festival village” by 2020.

At the launching of the event at Colgrain House on February 8th, Ramdhani said that they are arranging a format that promotes education, tourism, eco-adventure, ecology and the environment.
