Celebrate sacred music with three top-notch groups from diverse spiritual traditions. The 3rd annual World Sacred Music Festival spans the globe with music for both introspection and dancing. Shabava is a Portland-based Persian ensemble, playing the traditional music of Persia (now Iran). The Gansango Mandinka Trio features West African music by Nabi Camara on balafon (wooden xylophone), Etienne Cakpo on drums, and Kane Mathis on kora (21-stringed calabash harp). And The Unsanctified Gospel Revival (featuring Olympia favorite Orville Johnson) rounds out the evening with rousing soul/R&B/jazz versions of classic gospel tunes, along with music from the "sacred steel" tradition. An unforgettable evening that will broaden your idea of what's "sacred." More info and complete schedule at www.olysacredmusic.org
