Just a quick note to remind you that

Earlier this month, we sent out our initial list of the
following artists who will be performing at this year's
festival:
SNWMF is pleased to announce that the following
additional artists have been added for 2010:

Los Van Van is one of the most important and
influential bands in the history of 20th century
Cuban pop music. Though the 1990’s were pervaded
by groups that mixed folkloric and traditional
music with the musical trends of the day, and
the beginning of the 21st century saw that
process go even farther, in the 1960’s and 70’s
that latino fusion sensibility was scarce at
best. Los Van Van are widely recognized as a
genre-creating band. Alongside artists like The
Beatles, Aretha Franklin and Creedence
Clearwater Revival, Los Van Van are
distinguished as a band that changed the course
of popular music for an entire generation.
Banned from entry into the United States under
the Bush regime, Los Van Van is very excited to
be returning to perform here, and SNWMF is
thrilled that they will be rocking the masses of
Boonville on Saturday, June 19th.

Playing for Change is a multimedia movement
created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to
the world through music. The idea for this
project arose from a common belief that music
has the power to break down boundaries and
overcome distances between people. No matter
whether people come from different geographic,
political, economic, spiritual or ideological
backgrounds, music has the universal power to
transcend and unite us as one human race. And
with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we
set out to share it with the world.
Musicians from different cultures uniting
together for the common purpose of peace through
music is a powerful statement. For the past four
years Playing For Change has traveled the world
with a mobile recording studio and cameras in
search of such inspiration. Throughout the
journey we created a family of over 100
musicians from all walks of life. We connect
these musicians together with "Songs Around The
World."

Ooklah The Moc was formed in 1997 playing a mix
of roots reggae and hardcore. Through the years
and several lineup changes, Ooklah became a
strictly roots dub reggae band and reached its
present lineup in 2000.
Their debut release "Ites Massive" was released
in 2001 by Ghetto Circus Records. 2004 saw the
release of "Rearrange Your Positive" that was
followed up with "Struggling Soldier," a massive
album done in conjunction with native Hawaiian
Koko. Vaults is Ooklah the Moc' most recent CD
that includes hits like "Thin Line" and
"Revolutionary" along with another combination
with Koko.
Ooklah The Moc is at its best live and direct in
concert and has played crazy shows all over
Hawai`i and from San Diego to Humboldt. |
Additional
artists will be announced in the days
to come, and as always, lineup announcements
will be made first on our website at
www.snwmf.com.
Sierra Nevada
World Music Festival is dedicated to nurturing a world
family peacefully united in celebration of the universal
spirit of music. Come celebrate with us!
