SUMMARY:Black Nature Band: Positive Music, Reggae, Dancehall, African 
 Rhythms, Ska, Rock, R&B
DESCRIPTION:$10 adv. $12 dr.\nOpening with Midnight Raid and a special
  guest performance by Naima Shalhoub from Oakland!\nBlack Nature is an
  original musical artist who composes and performs positive music that
  incorporates a unique blend of African Rhythms, Reggae, Dancehall, Ro
 ck, Hip-Hop and R&B. He is also a musical producer and filmmaker.\nAs 
 a young child, Black Nature began singing and playing percussion, and 
 he was greatly influenced by the rich musical culture of Sierra Leone.
  In the midst of the country’s brutal 10 year civil war, he fled to 
 neighboring Guinea where he was placed in a refugee camp. During his t
 ime at the camp, he and other Sierra Leonean refugees formed a band th
 at later became the world renowned Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars.
 \nFor the first few years, this band composed and performed original m
 usic to entertain their fellow refugees. They actually had to make the
 ir own instruments from the few materials available to them at the cam
 p. In 2002, the group met documentary filmmakers Banker White and Zack
  Niles along with the talented musician Chris Velan. Banker, Zack and 
 Chris followed the group from one refugee camp to another, creating a 
 documentary of the band's experiences living and performing in the var
 ious refugee camps in Guinea. After three years in production, this do
 cumentary, entitled The Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, became an 
 international success, winning eleven awards in various categories and
  is currently available on Netflix. For more information about the doc
 umentary, please visitwww.refugeeallstars.org.\n \nwww.sonicbids.com/
