While Brazilin natives Papiba Godinho and Dandha da Hora bring their profound knowledge and respect for the roots of afro-brazilian song and dance, the entire band has developed a type of samba-reggae-funk with a universal appeal. SambaDá musically unites the Americas, drawing from percussion based styles of South and Central America, and blends it with that good old funk and reggae back beat so familiar to crowds of North America.
SambaDa’s tunes are playful, vital, and energetic: they make you dance and they make you sing, they are both intimate and exuberant. SambaDá delivers a polished show, whether acoustic on the beach, or at full volume on stage, which is guaranteed to inspire dancing feet and smiling faces.
SambaDá is: Papiba Godinho, Dandha Da Hora, Anne Stafford, Kevin Dorn, Gary Kehoe, Will Kahn, Marcel Menard

July 10 - The BBC A Tribute to the BEATLES!
The BBC is Northern California’s Premier Beatles Tribute Band. They look, play, sing and move just like the original Fab Four, whisking you away to the 1960’s with their extensive set of live Beatles music and their awesome stage show.Whatever the venue, the energy, youthfulness and authenticity of The BBC recreate the sheer essence of The Beatles. You will experience the energy and atmosphere of being in the Cavern, Liverpool, in the early 60’s. The BBC recreate the impact of the initial appearance of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show and other big stage, big audience shows. From classic ballads like “This Boy” and “Yesterday”, to timeless rock numbers like “Long Tall Sally” and “Twist and Shout”, you will think that The BBC could be The Beatles reborn! The BBC pride themselves on their attention to detail. From their guitars, amps, and drums to their clothes, boots and hairstyles, The BBC will stir up nostalgic memories for those who remember the 60’s and deliver a unique time-warp experience for those who are a little younger and were not lucky enough to savor the music first time round.
