On April 28, Ambassador Oliver hosted an evening of traditional Blues music for UNESCO Executive Board members and their permanent delegates. The program featured U.S. musicians John Cephas and Phil Wiggins. This was the first U.S. Mission organized cultural event since our return as a Member State to UNESCO in October 2003. The performance was made possible with assistance from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
