Delegata Sponsors the Inaugural Sacramento World Music and Dance Festival

Sacramento, CA - October 25, 2006

On Wednesday, October 25, 2006, Sacramento welcomes an international entourage of performers to the first annual Sacramento World Music and Dance Festival inside Sacramento’s Memorial Auditorium.  Delegata is excited to sponsor an event to bring together the talent and diversity of the many cultures found in the area.  The festival showcases the diversity of Sacramento and includes eight performances (as well as a children’s performance group), each representing a different culture and dance form.  The 7:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. event will include performances by:

• Eddie Madril, a Native American artist;
• Ballet Lisanga, a Congolese music and dance group;
• Ballet Floklorico Instituto Mazatlan Belles Artes’ creative Mexican folkloric presentations;
• Zooz Dance Company’s Middle Eastern and North African rooted dances; and
• The Dunsmuir Scottish Dancers with traditional music and dance from Scotland .

Before the main program people can enjoy an opportunity to experience a diverse ethnic cuisine. In addition, the innovative work of the Ivan Najera Trio and performances from dance groups representing Sacramento’s diverse culture are also available at a VIP reception from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

With the mayor’s commitment and the support of the Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Historic Old Sacramento Foundation, The Sacramento World Music and Dance Festival will enhance Sacramento’s calendar of community celebrations and bring the city one step closer to becoming the “City of Festivals.”
