VI Roots Eruption at the Twelfth Annual
Sierra Nevada World Music Festival

The 12^th annual Sierra Nevada World Music Festival proved to be an historic event which saw conscious VI Reggae music step to the forefront of roots music in America.   The St. Croix Roots Eruption featured artists emanating from the U.S. Virgin Islands all sharing the same stage for nearly seven hours.   The STX lineup included Bambu Station, Batch, Ras Attitude, Army, Pressure, Iba, The Zioniers and a guest appearance by Bobo Ites.  The celebration was capped off with a momentous finale in which all the VI artists came on stage and joined hands in a show of unity for the love of their country, for the love of their music, for the love those in attendance, and for the love of HIM Rastafari.
