Watch Raiz Campos (Amazon/Brazil) create a graffiti painting on a large natural fiber mat depicting the lifestyle of the Indigenous population of the Amazon.
There was also a dress rehearsal for this event:

Best selling Hawaiian musician and respected hula teacher Keali'i Reichel brings his award winning music and dancers for a concert featuring both ancient and contemporary music and hula.
Keali'i Reichel:
Maui’s Keali‘i Reichel (Kanaka Maoli/Hawaiian) has been at the forefront in the revival and perpetuation of Hawaiian culture. He is a world-class performer, best-selling recording artist, multiple award-winning kumu hula (hula teacher), prolific composer, renowned chanter, choreographer, dancer, crafter, scholar and teacher. During his 25-year music career he has earned 36 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, has been nominated for two Grammys, and has been inducted into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame.
