Dragon Boat Races
Sixth Annual World Beat Dragon Boat Races
Presented by American Family Insurance
This year marks the sixth anniversary of one of World Beat’s most popular events — the World
Beat Dragon Boat Races. Four dragon boats will arrive on Saturday for the Sunday races, which
are a joint effort of the World Beat Dragon Boat Steering Team, Tacoma Dragon Boat Association,
DragonSports USA, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and the Willamette Queen Sternwheeler.
Based on ancient Chinese legend, dragon boating has been around for centuries and is now
one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. Dragon boating made its debut in Salem at World
Beat 2005, and today local teams and paddlers can sign up to practice in Salem’s own teak
dragon boat. Information about the race and club is available at the Guest Services booth
near the Court Street entrance, or by visiting www.WorldBeatFestival.org.

8:30 a.m. Captain’s Meeting
8:45 a.m. Opening Ceremonies with the VoViNam Lion Dancers:

Festival weekend. Led by the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue
(TVF&R) Pipes and Drums, scouts, 4-H clubs and children in
traditional costumes from all over the world parade through
the festival grounds to the amphitheater.
TVF&R: Formed in
2000, the Tualatin Valley
Fire & Rescue Pipes and
Drums was the first fire
service pipe band in the
Pacific Northwest. While
its primary mission is to
serve as a ceremonial
asset for various firerelated functions and
ceremonies, the band
has twice traveled to
Guadalajara, Mexico as part of sister city visitations, performed
at the Chicago South Side and South Boston St. Patrick’s parades and for the President of Ireland at the 2008 dedication of
Portland’s Irish Famine Memorial.
10:15 Opening Ceremony: Welcome to the Thirteenth
World Beat Festival! Opening remarks and introduction of
special guests and the Bhutanese Cultural Delegation.
10:30-11:15 Bhutan Cultural Delegation: The
Bhutanese Cultural Tour presented by Lama Karma Namgyel
and Drukpa Mila Center, in cooperation with Salem Multicultural
Institute, is the World Beat Festival 2010 Focus. The tour is a
cultural exchange, focusing on traditional cham sacred dances
and folk dances, hand-loom weaving, singing, wood crafts and
mask-making, sacred
painting, and storytelling. Many years of study,
training and apprenticeship are required to
become a master of any
one of these disciplines.
This is a unique opportunity to experience the
rich culture and diversity
of Bhutan. (Visit the
Bhutan Cultural Tent
in Asia Pacific.)
11:15-12:00 Ballet Folklorico Tlanese: A non-profit
group, Tlanese was established in 2004 to share Mexican culture through dance and to keep traditions alive in the hearts
of youth. They specialize in traditional dances from different
states of Mexico such as Oaxaca, Veracruz, Sinaloa and Jalisco.
Viva Mexico!

German) brings young dancers in brilliant ethnic attire to the

by Heidi Vorst.
1:45-3:15
Incendio: Capture a
raging firestorm – the
music of INCENDIO!
Over the last nine
years, this Latin guitar
world fusion group has
committed a unique
alchemy of composition, technique and
performance to seven
critically acclaimed
international CD releases. At the heart
of every track is the bold, romantic Spanish guitar, its timeless
sound recast in powerful modern arrangements. Seductive
melodies set next to explosive improvisatory journeys – this is
INCENDIO live!
3:30-4:15 Chinese Dragons, Lions and Cultural
Dances: Portland based Northwest Learning Academy performs traditional Chinese music on traditional instruments,
cultural dances including the exciting and colorful dragon and
lion dances.
4:30-5:30 Zimbabwean performer Musekiwa

regardless of our color, language, culture, or heritage – we are
all related!
7:15 Special performance: Venerable Lama Karma
Namgyel of Bhutan trained in the monastic tradition in the
Drukpa Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, performs the Black
Hat Dance.
8:00-9:30 Manooghi Hi: This Seattle-based band blends
rock, soul and funk with traditional Indian rhythms and instruments and its songs sample eight languages: English, Hindi,
Persian, Sanskrit, Bengali, Urdu, Rajasthani and Mumbai
slang. The music echoes the journey of lead singer, Mehnaz
Hoosein, a Mumbai native and pop star (known for the hit song
Banooghi Mein) now uprooted and living in the Pacific Northwest. Her dynamic voice, along with veteran Seattle artists
Todd Fogelsonger on the guitar, Kent Halvorsen on keyboard,
Jimmy Thomas on bass, John Hollis on percussion and drums,
Jarrod Kaplan on percussion and vocalist Ava S Chakravarti,
captivates and creates a fresh mix of “East meets West” both
mesmerizing and compelling.

with influences of North Africa,
Turkey, Egypt and from their
own imaginations. They are

kanun, harmonium and ney
flute and dynamic vocals in
several languages soar above
the rhythms of the dumbek,
tambourine and frame drum.

art) performing group, performing folk pieces and dances from

festival.
2:45-4:00 Negara Band: Pan-Mediterranean and beyond! Portland based Negara has influences ranging from
Middle-Eastern, North and West African and Spanish, to rock,
jazz and blues. The
music allows inventive strings and
horns to ride over
tightly knit percussion that can range
from delicate to
intense, from mesmerizing to infectiously danceable.
The music is rooted
in ethnic tradition
yet is thoroughly
contemporary.

Band: Led by fiddler Kelly Thibodeaux of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Etouffee combines red hot fiddle, shufflin’ R&B, kickin’
southern rock, and Cajun to create an exciting sound known as
SWAMP ROCK. This is music that will dance you down Bourbon Street or into the darkest swamps....Louisiana style. From
Cajun two-steps to songs about alligators, swamps, and sugar
cane....it’s all about dancing and feeling good. Laissez Le Bon
Temps Rouler...Let the Good Times Roll!

the east side of the village. (Demonstration will be repeated at

cook.” Titiyas? Coconut milk flatbread! Kelaguen? Chopped grilled
chicken mixed with grated coconut, lemon, onions, and peppers!
Linechan gollai? Grilled vegetables with a spicy, citrusy coconut
