HOUSTON, TX (April 14, 2005) - The musical group Moodafaruka will entertain visitors to the 39-piece traveling art exhibit Coexistence during its remaining two weekends on display surrounding the reflection pool at Houston City Hall, 900 Bagby.

The five-member musical group mixes Flamenco, Middle Eastern, Spanish and Western motifs to create a tapestry of sound that is both familiar and new. Its music serves to remind audiences that the global community is a multicultural, multiethnic and multilingual village and of the common values shared by all humanity.

* Saturday, April 23 - 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.
* Sunday, April 24 - 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.
