The Sierra Nevada World Music Festival has just announced that Luciano has been added to perform at the 22nd annual summer solstice and world peace gathering taking place June 19-21, 2015 at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds located in Boonville, California.
With the release of his landmark CD “Where There Is Life” in 1995, Luciano emerged as one of the most important reggae singers in decades and the greatest hope for roots reggae’s survival in the digital dancehall era. Since that much acclaimed release, Luciano’s music has been consistently praised for imparting sentiments of spiritual salvation, edification and humanitarian upliftment.
In these troubled times, Luciano’s engaging baritone voice resonates like a divinely ordained instrument possessing the power to comfort souls from all walks of life. While many of his so called “conscious” contemporaries have faltered by recording songs that glorify wanton sex and random violence as a means of topping the charts, Luciano has held steadfast to enriching principles; these positive lyrical themes have justifiably earned him the title of The Messenger. Luciano will be bringing his message to the good people of Boonville when he performs at SNWMF on Sunday, June 21st.
