More about Sierra Nevada World Music Festival
SNWMF congratulates its press and media coordinator Kaati Gaffney, publisher of the Reggae Festival Guide magazine and website, recently honored at the 40th IRAWMA Anniversary Awards Ceremony in Kingston, JA, on May 7, 2023. The award recognizes Kaati for 30 years of extraordinary media contributions to reggae and world music.
SNWMF founder Warren Smith envisioned a unique mix of authentic roots-reggae and global music trends, based on conscious music that brings together artists whose lyrics are life-affirming and embrace a positive message. This came to fruition with so many memorable performances over 25 years. With Warren's passing in 2021 and the Covid-19 pandemic, the festival has been on hiatus. This year, Warren's wife Gretchen Franz Smith has brought the team back together to make the festival a reality once more. "The time is right for us to gather again in celebration of Peace, Love & Music. SNWMF 2023 is for Warren," she said.
The benefits 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 also in lasting friendships and relationships and confidence in the tourism sector. The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the live music industry and left behind a legacy of uncertainty. SNWMF faces all of this with optimism, knowing that conscious reggae and world music articulate and manifest what the world needs right now... inclusiveness, kindness, positivity and empowerment.
With this 26th edition of the festival, SNWMF stays true to its roots: Sierra Nevada World Music is dedicated to nurturing a world family peacefully united in celebration of the universal spirit of music.
