The lineup for the 3rd annual World Sacred Music Festival has just been released, and it sounds great. If you're in the Pacific Northwest, plan a trek to Olympia on the evening of Sunday Feb. 4 for what sounds like a diverse and diverting evening of sacred tunes.The artists include:
- Persian ensemble Shabâvâ, whose members include Nat Hulskamp (oud, flamenco guitar), Bobak Salehi (kamancheh, setar, violin) and others. [mp3: "Lama Bada"]
- The Gansango Trio playing West African music, featuring Etienne Cakpo (percussion), Naby Camara (balafon) and Kane Mathis (kora). [mp3: "Jii (Rain)"]
- The Unsanctified Gospel Revival, an assembly of gospel music lovers who play everything from traditional gospel standards to gospel influenced R&B and jazz. [mp3 samples here]

I am the founder of MelodyTrip, www.melodytrip.com , a website that is focused on music festivals and fans who are passionate about music. I came across your blog and found it to be very entertaining and well-written and thought you would be interested in becoming a MelodyTrip community member.
MelodyTrip has all the latest news on festival, lineups, bands etc, but there are some specific reasons why you, as a blogger interested in music could benefit from joining MelodyTrip.
1) You can post cross-post your blogs to MelodyTrip to generate awareness, exposure, feedback and links to your blog, even if is not always music related.
2) If you are interested in attending music festivals and blogging about them, MelodyTrip can get you press passes or free tickets to virtually any festival if you agree to preview and review the festival on MelodyTrip.
If this sounds good, sign up as a member and shoot me an email letting me know you did, and if there are any particular events you would like to cover in 2007 or ways MelodyTrip can help you out. Now is a great time to contact me since it is the down season, there is a lull in the action, but we would love to have you as part of MelodyTrip when things heat up and traffic explodes in March.
