BOMBA ESTEREO: #3 HOT SUMMER PICK by the Huffington Post! This ebullient quintet from Bogotá wraps traditional Colombian cumbia rhythms around psychedelic electronic beats, with whirlwind results. Its percussive fusion is a growing phenomenon in the American festival circuit: in the past few years Bomba Estéreo has manned the sweltering dance stages of Bonnaroo, Coachella and SXSW.
Kinky Ana Sia
KINKY: They combine the stylishness of discerning American and European dance grooves and straight-ahead rock 'n' roll, with traditional rhythms from throughout South America. Their fresh new sound and extensive touring has attracted fans and supporters all over the U.S., Latin America and U.K. The press has dubbed their music as "feverishly danceable," "groovy electro-pop" and have even proclaimed their unique blend as the "future of music." YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND: The YMSB has always played music by its own set of rules and after almost 14 years of existence, they are still expanding musical horizons and taking its high country sound on the road to its ever-expanding fan base. Offering an upbeat blend of newgrass and jam band styles and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own.

ABOUT: The Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville, California, is Northern California's most loved concert venue. So it's no wonder that The Gaia Festival is fast becoming a "destination festival" for music lovers with its extensive grounds covering approximately 150 acres, year-round flowing creek, and camping in old growth oaks. This is a "green festival" and the event is powered by biodiesel generators. Just a three hour drive north of San Francisco and two hours south of Arcata. It's the perfect place to enjoy a weekend with friends, family, and lovers of great music. Black Oak Ranch is home to the Hog Farm and Camp Winnarainbow -- a circus camp for kids, and has hosted many world-class events over the years including Earthdance - The Global Festival For Peace.
