Kepa Junkera performed at the Union Terrace last Thursday, Sept. 19 as part of the World Music Festival. From the Basque region of Spain, the musician played a mix of distonic accordian and was accompanied only by an acoustic guitar or minor percussion. The music was meant for dancing, and it conveyed an energetic feel with a spirit that can only be created with the slightly haunting sound of the accordion. Riveting dance pieces got the crowd moving, and the lively polka feel of the accordion was a perfect complement to the other acts included in the World Music Festival. Kepa Junkera provided an element that contributed to an unforgettable show.
