Sandunga gets show on the road When Sandunga kicked off the El Cinco de Mayo cultural celebration Thursday night before 140 people, the EMU Forum walls vibrated with a blend of Latin American, In dian and African rhythms. As the music's tempo in creased, so did the listeners' cat calls of approval. San dunga members Ray Davis and Christina Papana, rhythms; Mary O'Conner, vocals; Armando Morales, vocals, flute and strings; and Joe Maquenue and Nicolas Spycher, strings, played for almost two hours. The festivities continue this afternoon with "salsa'' music by Manteca at 4 p.m. in the EMU beer garden, and a folk concert by Almandina of Seattle at 8 p.m. in the Forum. Macchu-Picchu of California will play the Forum on Saturday at 8 p.m. Photo by Dave Kao Cash For Textbooks Mon.- Fri. Smith Family Bookstore 768 E. 13th 1 Bl.
