Sierra Nevada World Music festival announces the legendary Burning Spear as the Sunday night headliner!
Spear's impact on reggae music is profound. The legacy of his music is one of self-reliance and self-determination for the African diaspora. With a career spanning over six decades, his live performance continues to be relevant, powerful and exhilarating.
From the 1970’s until today, Spear has been been a prolific recording artist with critically acclaimed albums such as Social Living, Hail H.I.M. and Resistance. He has two Grammy™ Awards, for Calling Rastafari and Jah is Real, with 12 nominations. Burning Spear's legacy as a reggae icon is incalculable, and his music continues to inspire and uplift audiences around the world! Please join us in our excitement in welcoming the one and only Burning Spear!
Children 12 and under are free of charge (with a ticketed adult)! There's heaps for kids and families to do at the festival, and we are hard at work planning activities and workshops to complete your experience and make it unforgettable.
The benefits that Sierra Nevada World Music Festival brings to the local community of Boonville and Mendocino are counted not just in dollars spent with local businesses, but in lasting friendships and relationships and confidence in the local tourism sector. We're proud to support Mendocino!
