Sierra Nevada World Music Festival 2005 Slide Show
All text and images © 2005 Sista Irie/ConsciousParty.com/B. Shaw
Going beyond all expectations is something that rarely happens and is greatly cherished. I have travelled to Jamaica since the seventies, attending many reggae concerts in yard, as well as many throughout the USA and assorted countries. Good vibes have been experienced everywhere. However, the opportunity to finally feel the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in person was certainly one of the reggae highlights of my ever increasing life.
The gold and green foothills of the Sierra Nevada are exuberant, painting a colorful backdrop for any outdoor event. The natural beauty of the area is enhanced by the diverse multi-cultural people who come in peace, with their children, with their friends, and with an open heart to experience the music and the message performed by many of Jamaica's greatest artists.
I can only say, the smooth and efficient coordination of staff and volunteers,
the serious thought given to the needs of all who attend, including press,
artists and fans alike steeps the brilliance of SNWMF with a feeling
of one big family reunion.
My nickname is the Festival of Beautiful Children. The children in attendance are happy, playful, colorful, creative souls lighting up the path of unity and brotherhood exemplified by the music. If a picture is worth a thousand words, here is my thesis on how to live your life in love and happiness.
My deepest love and i-preciation goes out to Warren, Gretchen and the whole SNWMF crew, the magnificent artists, the many unique and diverse sellers, and of course, the multitudes of press and fans alike. We are a village raising a new generation, representing a new hope and a new day. Through our combined efforts Better Mus Come!
