THE EAGLE AND THE CONDOR: A BENEFIT FOR PEACE AND DIGNITY JOURNEYS
Doors Open 7PM
----- DEEP ROOTED -----
San Diego Region, California, July 21-27, 2008: Running from Eklutna, Alaska, Peace and Dignity Journeys spiritual runners will arrive in the San Diego Region July 21st and run to Chicano Park on July 23rd for a free community ceremony and celebration 5:00pm-9:30pm. They will depart July 27th from El Centro continuing their journey to Quechan territory in Yuma, Arizona and ultimately their final destination Panama City, Panama on November 13, 2008.
Peace and Dignity Journeys organizes spiritual runs every four years that start simultaneously in Alaska, USA and Tierra del Fuego, Argentina and culminates at the Panama Canal, Panama City, Panama. This is an intercontinental event that links countless Indigenous communities before, during, and after the run, cultivating lasting relationships amongst individuals, families, communities, and Nations. The journey travels to a different Indigenous community at least once a day for six months. Thousands of people participate in Peace and Dignity Journeys as runners, supporters, and organizers. Each community stop represents and recreates sacred insight and healing that come from having been part of such a vast linkage of traditions and communities.

Artist's Bio:
Ziggy Marley's life story is filled with changes and transitions. In fact, change has been the one constant in his life. From his earliest days, raised in Trench Town, Jamaica, to the present, he has been guided by his keen awareness and driving compassion. These qualities are the earmarks of his work and his journey.
The eldest Marley son is not one to let any moss grow under his feet. His 2006 release, Love is My Religion (Tuff Gong Worldwide), garnered a Grammy for Best Reggae Album at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, giving him a total of four Grammys as an artist. It was his second solo album, and the first to be released independently on the Tuff Gong Worldwide label.

Bio:Alpha Blondy, the Rasta of Cocody, was born Sedou Kone in Dimbokoro, Cote d'Ivoire, in 1953. Heavily influenced by the music of Bob Marley, Blondy considered himself a Rasta at an early age. So early, in fact, that he recorded six Reggae tunes while still in his teens. Blondy's parents were so concerned about his devotion to Reggae and the Rasta lifestyle that they committed him to a psychiatric hospital for two years!
Early in 1970 Reggae began to be popular in West Africa and Blondy's popularity grew to the point where, in the early '80s he recorded his first single, Brigidier Sabari. In 1983, he followed with his first album, Jah Glory and began touring all over Africa. It was at this point that Alpha made a pilmrimage to Jamaica to record with The Wailers at Tuff Gong Studios. The results of his efforts were the huge hit album, Cocody Rock, followed by Jerusalem and then Apartheid is Nazism.
Blondy sings in Dioula, English, French, Arabic, and Hebrew. His band, The Solar System, is likewise international, with members hailing from Cameroon, England, France, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, and Togo. Alpha Blondy and The Solar System are tight and hot, and Alpha's status as the premiere African Reggae star is richly deserved.
