  Horace Andy is a roots reggae songwriter and singer, known for his distinctive vocals and hit songs such as "Government Land" also "Angel" & "Five Man Army" with Trip hop trio Massive Attack. He is also famous for a cover version of "Ain't No Sunshine".
  

  He is a devout Rastafarian and, like many reggae singers, much of his material deals with themes of religion and social justice.[who?] Some of his lyrics have also been considered to be contentious, although he is adamant that his aim is to unite communities: "My music supports social and political awareness of minority groups and underpriveleged communities around the world. I have never encouraged hatred or violence again any group in society. I hope to help bring communities together through my music."

  Taluna- Italian gypsy folk music on tour from Italy with guests Cairo Beats & Tribal Union Bellydance
  & Raine Alexandre!
  
  
  CAIRO BEATS: Middle-Eastern drumming group led by Worldbeat Center instructor Frank Lazzaro, performing arrangements from Egypt, Turkey and Morocco, with special guest musicians, and tribal style belly dancers.
  
  TALUNA: This is the incredible result of different artistic formations of the four Italian musicians, which have their roots not only in Piedmont, but also in Apulia, Abruzzo, Liguria, even beyond Italian borders as in France and Eastern Europe.
  
  “There is a thread stretching from Dubrovnik to Vukovar, which passes through Belgrade and descends to lick Tirana and Athens. A thread that runs under the sea and touches Brindisi and Sevilla, which crosses the ocean up to caress the coasts of Argentina and Chile A thread moves from the strings of guitars and violins, bouncing off the skins of the drums and that bends in the keys of the accordion".
  
  Gaia Mobilij is center stage with her accordion, the old “lira Calabrese” and her warm and evocative voice, the violin of Marco Ghezzo exudes elegant notes that make the audience dream and dance, Luca Russo with his classical guitar accompanies every different style, launching riffs worthy of the best jazz soloist, finally the tambourine of eclectic Giuseppe Leone emanates the vibrant pulse of the group, with continuous reminder of the “taranta of Salento”.
  
  The real strength of the group are the autographs pieces, all songs from their album “Exper” are written by them individually and arranged together, in a collection which brings together all genres and styles referring to Taluna: ethnic music (Rom, Balkan ), popular music (Occitan), the “pizzica” of Salento, Latin and Jazz.

   Bio
  

  To anyone who’s familiar with the band’s 20-year-plus history in the reggae field and their immense popularity around the world-there’s much more to Inner Circle than what meets the eye. Indeed, this Jamaican-bred, Grammy winning quintet is one of the world’s most respected reggae groups with a long string of successes stretching back to the mid-70′s.

  Inner Circle’s special brand of pop-oriented Jamaican beats and energy -filled live performances have allowed the band to transcend the traditional reggae niche and enjoy widespread crossover appeal. A testament to this is the fact that Inner Circle plays at many of the world’s largest music festivals-headlining alongside such towering pop and rock music icons as Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Van Morrison, Sinead O’Conner, The Black Crowes, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Carlos Santana, and many others.

  The Ugandan Orphans Choir members send this greeting at the beginning of each performance.  These children were some of the neediest children in Uganda.  Now, they are the fortunate few that have been rescued from a life of hunger and poverty and given the opportunity for education and spiritual development. These tools will help them make a difference in the future of Africa!
