PITTSBORO, N.C. - Six Latin bands are set to play at the Fall Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music & Dance and all Latin music lovers are welcomed to join on Thursday, Oct. 6 to Sunday, Oct. 9. This fall, the range of Latin bands performing is more diverse than ever. From Grammy Award-winners and nominees to fusion and traditional bands, Latin music lovers are sure to find something that suits their interest.

Sara Waters, Festival Co-Coordinator, says, "This fall we're excited to have so many Latin bands. Many of them are our great friends we've met through the Virginia Key GrassRoots Festival in Miami. We have also invited Texas conjunto band, Los Texmaniacs, to bring some music from the Texas/Mexico border that we don't get much in NC and a female mariachi band called Mariachi Flor de Toloache, which I'm particularly excited about!"

The Latin bands that will be playing at this year's fall festival include: Los Texmaniacs, Mariachi Flor de Toloache, Electric Piquete, Cortadito, and  Elastic Bond. With these Latin bands set to play throughout all four days, festivalgoers will have the chance to catch all the grooves and experience these talented Latin musicians first-hand. The whole lineup can be found here:  www.shakorihillsgrassroots.org/fall-2016-lineup/

For individuals who are looking for other types of music and activities, the festival will also feature a variety of music from over 40 bands and performers, a variety of food vendors, dance and music workshops, and a healing area designed to give festivalgoers the treatment their bodies deserve.
