Chris Berry from Puna, Hawaii - Chris Berry will play the Mbira at Dr. Emoto’s presentation on July 5th. He will also participate in the water ceremony on Saturday morning and co-lead a sonic meditation at 8:30 pm. It has been said that Chris Berry has the most interesting life story of any living musician. At the age of 19, Chris traveled to Africa on what was expected to be a short trip, and ended up spending the next 10 years living in the ghettos of Zimbabwe with the Shona tribe and immersing himself in music and culture. Chris became a master at several African instruments (especially the mbira) and the tribe considered Chris a chosen one who was an African elder born into a white man’s body for the purpose of uniting the people of the world together into one race. Inspired by this, Chris started a band with several African musicians and named it “Panjea” (referencing the land mass Pangea when the continents were all united, Panjea represents the uniting of the people into one race). This has been the main mission of Chris’ life, music, and his non-profit organization “The Panjea Foundation” ever since. Chris received a Grammy for a song written for “Paul Winter” and has toured and/or done studio collaborations with the likes of Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead), Michael Kang (String Cheese Incident), Steve Kimock, The Brazilian Girls, Eminem, and many more. Chris released his latest of 13 albums, “King of Me” in June of 2013.
The mission of the Twin Ports Bridge Festival is to celebrate and unite the community under a dynamic entertainment experience.
