SUMMARY:Plant Spirit Meditations & Tea Tastings
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of these meditations is to connect deeply to the self\, the earth and the green kingdom. \nTo feel the universal energy that flows through all beings – humans\, animals\, plants & trees and the elements of earth\, water\, fire and air. This connection\, this belonging to ourselves and to the earth is our birth right and lineage. \nOur modern culture has lost this connection at the deepest level. Yet\, the connection remains. The way forward is by re-connecting and remembering who we are in the circle of life.  \nYou will learn how to taste tea like an herbalist. \nThe tea tasting is a way of waking up to the inner knowing\, the thinking and intelligence within our bodies. This knowledge allows us to connect to the plants\, to hear the plants\, to know the plants. \nThe plants remain our greatest teachers\, our direct connection to the teachings of the earth. These are ancient traditions that I am grateful to share\, as they were shared and taught to me. \nI hope you will join me in the circle of beloved belonging.  \nWhat to bring \nA cushion\, blanket or towel to sit on. A blanket if you might get cold.  \nA cup for tasting herbal tea.  \nA journal or something to write in.  \nWear comfortable clothes.  \nYour beautiful self to feel the love of the earth.  \nTips \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to park\, enter the garden and to get settled on your blanket or cushion. \nDress for the outside\, layers are usually best.  \nParking: You can park along Park Blvd\, or directly across the street from World Beat Center is a free public parking lot.

SUMMARY:43rd Annual Marcus Garvey Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Marcus Garvey Day is going virtual!\n\nMarcus said\, “…look for me in a whirlwind” and he is coming our way so we’re canceling Sunday’s event in person to keep you and our bands safe. Rob Symeonn and Michael Palmer are already here and they will be performing with Good Over Evil Sound and will be streaming to your home.\n\n\n\nOnline event will feature words by the honorable Marcus Garvey\, live performance by Michael Palmer\, Rob Symeonn\, Link N Chain plus words by a special guest!\n\nAbout Marcus\n\nMarcus Mosiah Garvey was born Aug. 17\, 1887\, in St. Ann’s Bay\, Jamaica\, and established the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) in 1914 in his home country before moving the headquarters to New York. \nIn 1923\, Garvey was convicted of mail fraud in connection to the Black Star Line program he established as a pathway to economic equality for Black people. Garvey was imprisoned and later deported\, and his surging movement in America was stalled as he never again returned to the states. The Garvey family maintains that the charges against the leader were trumped up in order to halt any momentum that Garvey gained in the fight for civil rights. \nCLICK BELOW TO WATCH TONIGHT AT 7:45PM \n \n

SUMMARY:Tribute to the Reggae Legends Pre-Party: The Gladiators and the Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Both legendary roots reggae groups from Jamaica: the Meditations and the Gladiators. You don’t get to see these roots groups that often. Don’t miss this\, two foundation groups\, from the home of Reggae Jamaica. \nThe Meditations are among the most beloved and respected harmony trios to emerge from the roots era of reggae during the 1970s. In 1999\, they returned better than ever with Ghetto Knowledge\, their first album together since 1992 and their only full-length release with Easy Star. After a successful career in Jamaica in the 70s\, including recording timeless hits like “Woman Is Like A Shadow\,” “Miracles\,” “Fly Natty Dread\,” and “Having Fun\,” the group recorded “Jah Music” for Easy Star Records’ debut compilation. The song was a favorite on reggae radio and the collaboration with Easy Star led to the release of Ghetto Knowledge in 1999. Ghetto Knowledge bears all of the trademarks of a classic Meditations record: gorgeous harmonies\, beautifully written songs and cultural lyrics. Many of the tracks had been written in the 1970s and 1980s but had never been recorded for release before. This disc established The Meditations once and for all as one of the premier vocal groups in Jamaican history. \nThe Gladiators have been masters of the reggae arena for the past 30 years. After the rise and fall of many reggae artists and bands\, they remain one of the most influential reggae groups to date. The group’s original leader\, Albert Griffiths\, formed the legendary band – whose name was suggested to him on a bus by a fellow traveler who had just seen the movie “Ben Hur.” The concept of men who fought for their liberty against Babylon immediately struck a chord with Albert and remains a testament today of the difficult life and struggle of Jamaica. The Gladiators have proven on stage and in the studio that they are without a doubt one of the best and most enduring original real roots\, rock reggae bands. \nIn 2005 The Gladiators continue with the fresh new “Father and Sons” album recorded in Jamaica still faithful to their roots compositions delivering reggae music full of heart\, force and courage. Featuring Albert Griffiths’ two sons\, Anthony on drums and Al sharing lead vocals\, “Father and Sons” is a gripping reflection on life\, love and faith. \nCurrently Albert is in the process of turning The Gladiators over to his two sons he knows are capable of carrying on this musical heritage. With Anthony on drums setting the pace for the band and Al’s voice\, which is virtually indistinguishable from his father’s\, these two young reggae warriors have proven both live and in the studio that they are fully competent and are infusing a new\, youthful energy and substance to carry The Gladiators’ legacy into the future. The “New” Gladiators have already garnered tremendous response touring throughout Europe\, Brazil\, the South Pacific and Australia to as many as 70\,000 fans in mostly sold-out shows. They are poised and ready to spread their message to the rest of the world! \n \nMembers $20 | Non-Members $25\nInterested in becoming a WorldBeat Member?

SUMMARY:Native American Month Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Native American Month with a blessing and drum circle by Tim Red Bird and the Red Warriors   \nAlso with us King Yellowman and Alika (with DJ Mykol Orthodox) \nAbout King Yellowman \nKing Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley. After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston\, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellow an instant hit in Jamaica. After surgery an extended leave of absence from the record industry\, Yellowman began his comeback with the song “Blueberry Hill”\, and his career was re-launched. His first album for RAS came from producer Phillip ‘Fatis’ Burrell and was called “Yellow Like Cheese”. Coincidentally this was the start of a long and fruitful relationship with RAS and Yellowman and also RAS and ‘Fatis’ and his exterminator production. Yellowman has always been very professional to work with and always a respectful and reliable human being. He has managed to outlive his predicted fate of death and his performances are incredibly lively as he seems to have an unlimited amount of stage energy. We can only hope for the best for Yellowman. He has continued his hard work and his devotion to his family is to be complimented.  \nAbout Alika \nAlika (born Alicia Dal Monte Campuzano in Montevideo\, Uruguay and raised in Buenos Aires\, Argentina) is one of the most important artists in South America right now garnering millions of hits on Youtube…Alika’s latest album\, Mi Palabra\, Mi Alma (My Word\, My Soul)\, is just that: Reggae drums and Hip-Hop beats that help her bare her soul in rhymes and music. “El Don\,” a cumbia-infused Hip-Hop track featuring Argentine rapper La Liga made its worldwide debut last year as part of the soundtrack to the popular video game “Grand Theft Auto V”. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dezarie Live
DESCRIPTION:Roots empress Dezarie has blessed the reggae community with her return to San Diego after several years with a VI stylee headlining set. \nGracious Mama Africa transports the incredible voice of Dezarie to a whole new level – the highest heights. Her foundation is firmly established in songs such as “Travelers” and the title track. The brilliance and clarity of Dezarie’s voice is reverently unveiled on “Exhalt”. Gracious Mama Africa abounds with pleas for social justice and racial equality with selections like “Poverty”\, “Strengthen Your Mind” and “Justice”. \nBut to this listener\, the strength and power of Dezarie is most strikingly displayed in her condemnation of so-called civilization. “Gone Down”\, “Not One Penny”\, “Law Fe De Outlaw”\, “Slew Dem An Done” and “Judgment Come” all deliver conscious punches that penetrate the soul. \n“Do what you want\, wheresoever you please. Bombing Vieques\, yes your bombing the seas. Lock up anyone that was opposing. Speaking against the nonsense that you were doing. But babylon you gone down\, you gone down. Babylon funeral\, you gone down.” – Dezarie \nAfter receiving Atlanta’s “Best New Female Reggae Artist” award in 2001\, Dezarie returned to her native island of St. Croix. Since that time\, she has been working closely with Midnite\, the players of instruments for “Gracious Mama Africa”. Midnite’s trademark sound is fully displayed on this album. Momentous bass lines from Phillip Merchant\, classic one-drop from Dion Hopkins and the bubbling of Ron Benjamin on keyboards prevail throughout\, accentuated by Abijah’s charismatic guitar playing. \nFrom the excellent overdubs of Dezarie’s voice to the flying symbols on “Slew Dem” it is evident that Ron Benjamin worked tirelessly in the production and mixing of this album. The fruits of this labour are eloquently displayed on Gracious Mama Africa which is sure to be one of the best roots albums of 2003.

An adaptation of the groundbreaking Broadway musical — itself a retelling of L. Frank Baum’s classic 1900 children’s fantasy “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. This is a multigeneration community production led by Miss Monie that is sure to be a spectacular production. \n\nAbout “The Wiz”\nOver forty years after its original release\, no film has uniquely defined black culture and shaped the framework of a musical genre quite like “The Wiz.” \nFor a generation of black Americans\, this was the first time they saw people who spoke\, and moved the way they did in a Broadway production and\, later\, a big-screen musical\, and it has become a kind of rite of passage for the black community. \n“The Wiz\,” weaved together gospel\, blues\, soul and R&B — genres that are unequivocally black creations — and were narratives of the black experience. \n\nRESERVE TICKETS HERE
