| ZunZun is a performing arts group that celebrates the environments and cultures of
the Americas through music. Since 1992 the husband and wife duo, Stephen Synder and Gwynne Snyder Cropsey, has performed in
14 countries throughout the America's and appeared on regional, national and international radio and television. They perform for
over 100,000 people annually. Their humor, vitality and commitment to audience participation make all of their shows vibrant and
lively. Their shows utilize a wide variety of folkloric instruments (they play over thirty instruments), to highlight the rich
spectrum of cultures and environments they share in North, Central and South America. Their shows are always participatory,
multilingual (Spanish, Portuguese, English) and energetic. ZunZun can also be backed by a three piece band that includes drum
set, bass and percussion.
ZunZun performs in Theaters, Festivals, Museums, Cultural Centers and Corporate Events. They also perform for Schools, Libraries
and other Educational Arenas.
