It's that time of the year again for the annual Houston International Festival and the occasion is extra special for us because we were invited to go with CHangoMan. The Houston International Festival, or "iFest" as it's known around here, is organized by the same non-profit organization that's been doing it since 1971 and supported by the city. The purpose is to celebrate our city's cultural diversity by promoting a different culture or region of the globe each year. 2011 sees the celebration of China, India and other countries of the Silk Road. There is definitely way too much to cover here, but all I can say is that if you live here or plan to visit Houston during Spring, you have to come to the iFest.
I was present during the first weekend and had a lot of fun with my kids (yes it's a family event). Sure, we were there to "work" but you can't help to have fun when you're walking around the various streets where the festival is held, going from booth to booth and from one stage to the other enjoying all the different kinds of food, drinks and music available. We had fun alright, especially when it was time for CHangoMan to get on stage and shine. And shine they did... not only once, but twice and on different stages.
This video is a sample of the show and it features CHangoMan "The Cumbia-Rock Kings" performing their rendition of the classic "We will rock you" by Queen.
Enjoy!
