The Paza Experience | Folk & Traditional Performance

Step into The Paza Experience, a dynamic performance act that celebrates the rich heritage of Native American culture. Derived from the Lakota word for "Tree of Life," Paza symbolizes our connection to the Earth, to ourselves, and to all living beings.
The Paza Experience will give a folk and traditional performance on Saturday, April 11th at 7 p.m. in the Goodloe Center at Mountain Empire Community College. Tickets are $15 at the door. Children and students get in free! For more information and to make reservations, please visit proartva.org. This performance is brought to you in part by Mountain Empire Community College.
Featuring the incredible talents of Delwin Fiddler Jr., a champion Lakota grass and hoop dancer and skilled flute player from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, alongside Samora Free, an indigenous singer, multi-instrumentalist, and soundscape artist from New York City, The Paza Experience brings together diverse artistic expressions that resonate with audiences of all ages.
The Paza Experience is more than just a performance group; it is a heartfelt journey of education and healing. Through their art, Delwin and Samora aim to promote peace and harmony within communities, inviting everyone to connect with the past, embrace the present, and envision a harmonious future. Join us in this transformative cultural celebration that honors diversity, storytelling, and the spirit of togetherness.
This engagement of The Paza Experience is made possible in part through the Mid Atlantic Tours program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
