Artistes from Costa Rica on Saturday gave scintillating performance during the `7th Amritsar International Folk Festival’ at Khalsa College of Education (KCE) here today.

The festival was organised by Punjab Cultural Promotion Council (PCPC) in collaboration with the KCE and Khalsa College Charitable Society (KCCS).

The 16-member group was headed by their leader Petter Chinchilla and included Quesada, Juan Carlos Abarca Villalobos, Carlos Augusto Acuna Zuniga, Oscar Arias Sanchez, Randall Mora Rojas, Elmer Brenes Guzman, Daniel Enrique Hernandez Brenes and others. They also danced to tunes of Bhangra and Gidda performed by college students.

KCE Principal Jaswinder Singh Dhillon said, “Such inter-cultural festivals provide an opportunity to students to interact and perform together.”

PCPC head Davinder Singh Chhina said, “It was the seventh festival in the series. Its aim is to promote international harmony and peace through art.”
