We hope you all are enjoying your day off, I know we are.

Our owner and director, Joseph, has dreamed of going to a World Cup his whole life. If you know Joseph you know he is an avid Manchester United (Glory, Glory) fan and a huge soccer fan. This is a bucket list item for him. Never did he ever think he would see a game in his home city and (after winning the fifa lottery and selecting the first game not knowing who it was going to be), see the goat, Messi and the reigning champs, Argentina. Keep setting the goals and dreaming, kids. It might take over 40 years, but trust.

Thank you to Mayor Christal Watson, John Kelly, Wyco Unified Gov and all those associated with this event for having us at the very first One World Wyandotte Festival. It’s always an honor to come back to our hometown and perform for the community that helped raise us.

We were honored to take place in this event as the Mayor gathered the Sister Cities together to share our cultures in the lead up to the World Cup here in Kansas City.
