Edgar Muenala played the flute while a First Nations dancer performed an American Indian fancy shawl dance at A Window To The World 世界之窗 concert in Vancouver’s Granville Island Stage on June 24, 2012.

Edgar Muenala was born in Ecuador and has been living in Vancouver Canada and traveling the world to perform for more than 20 years. He was inspired by his native South American music and Asian culture and wanted to create a fusion of sounds that brought together different traditional instruments and a diversity of rhythms and electronic digital effects to form his own contemporary style.

2012, it’s the Year of The Dragon. 龙年舞龙舞师大游行 This year in particular, the Chinese New Year Parade in Vancouver was all about the Golden Dragon with the Fortune God leading the way, of course. Otherwise the Chinese would not be happy. Neither would you since you won’t be getting any red package 红封包along the Fortune God’s path.

Money makes the world go around, world go around…

The parade started at the Millennium Gate and this year’s highlights included lion dances, police bagpipe bands, multicultural dancers and many more as they all wind their way through the heart of Vancouver’s Chinatown along Pender, Gore, Keefer, Columbia and passing through the Dr. Sun Yet-Sen Garden among its route.

恭喜发财 Gung Hay Fat Choi or Gong Xi Fa Cai, whether it is Cantonese or Mandarin, the phrase heard often in Vancouver whether you’re Chinese or not, means the same thing – blessing for good fortune and prosperity.
