| | The 2010 San Pancho Music Festival is scheduled to take place from February 26-28, 2010 at the Plaza del Sol in San Pancho, Nayarit. | |
The San Pancho Music Fest started 10 years ago in the backyard of John & Patricia Alexander. A few musicians showed up and started playing some music on the back porch. Word got around and the next year a few more musicians showed up. It started looking more and more like a festival. Eventually the success of the festival outgrew the intimate surroundings of the Alexander back yard. It was time for a change.
John and Patricia moved on and turned the organization of the festival over to Craig Schumacher, an internationally acclaimed music producer and professional musician. The festival was moved to the Plaza del Sol. That was 3 years ago.
Today the San Pancho Music Festival has grown to accommodate some of the most colorful musicians and dancers from around the world. There is still very much a local flavor, featuring the traditional music of local musicians. But the music has expanded, attracting international acts from Europe, the U.S., Chile, Guatemala, France and Germany.
The festival maintains a come-one-come-all, everybody-is-welcome persona, while embracing the talents of some top-notch world class musicians. In short, it's a nice balance of amateurs and professionals getting together for 3 days to share an unforgettable music experience. The philosophy is simple. It's about sharing.
None of the performers are paid. They come because they want to be here. This year the festival has expanded to include some wonderful, exciting, innovative dance performances.
The San Pancho Music Festival 2010. A vibrant, eclectic expression of performing art. 3 days of international music and dance. February 26, 27, 28. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. From 2 pm to 10 pm each day. The Plaza Del Sol in San Pancho.
