A Very Special Performance You Just Can't Miss!!  
The Salmon Arm
Roots and Blues Festival never disappoints when it comes to presenting
some of the most exhilarating and deeply moving collaborations you'll
find anywhere. This year is no exception with the African Pow-wow
Project, featuring the Donné Roberts Band, Marc Nadjiwan, and Jani
Lauzon.
The project was born from the creative imagination of
Donné Roberts, amalgamating his own distinctly African rhythms with
those of Marc Nadjiwan whose cutting edge take on Aboriginal music
makes him one of the most avant-guard First Nations musicians ever, and
the astonishing vocal range and powerful stage presence of Metis
performing artist, Jani Lauzon. This triple threat collaboration
crosses over into new and uncharted musical territory with an
innovative and ground-breaking African pow-wow, of sorts, uniting the
sounds of these distinctly separate but similar traditions of music. http://www.donneroberts.com/http://www.myspace.com/donnerobertshttp://www.nadjiwan.com/http://www.janilauzon.com/   
Maryem Tollar & Roula Said with Rick Shadrach Lazar
Another
collaborative effort that's sure to grab your attention!! A feast for
the eyes and ears as three of the world's brightest lights shine as one
in an exotic fusion of Middle Eastern music and dance - Maryem Hassan
Tollar, intoning gorgeous vocals that embody the expressive musical
artistry of her Arabic ancestors; alternative Arabic percussion by Rick
Shadrach Lazar, founder of the award winning percussion group, Samba
Squad; and Roula Said, summoning her Palestinian roots in a captivating
display of technique and an impassioned celebration of the world of
bellydance.http://www.maryemtollar.com/http://www.myspace.com/maryemtollarhttp://www.roulasaid.ca/http://www.sambasquad.com/downloads/rick_shadrach_lazar.pdfJust
