Two Time Latin Grammy Award Winner, Sin Bandera to Play Wells Fargo Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa - May 6, 2006

SANTA ROSA, CA. (Wells Fargo Center for the Arts) - Sin Bandera, the two time Latin Grammy-winning band fronted by Leonel Garcia and Noel Schajris makes its North Bay debut this spring at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The band will bring their winning blend of soulful pop melodies to the Center's 1600 seat Ruth Finley Person Theater on May 6 at 8 p.m.

This eclectic pop act stormed up the charts in 2002 with their ballad "Entra En Mi Vida" featured on the Mexican soap opera Cuando Seas Mia. Now, after selling more than one million copies each of their first self-titled album Sin Bandera and second album De Viaje, the award-winning duo is back with their third album Manana. The album includes songs produced by Brian McKnight and Aureo Baquiero and duets with Reggaeton artist Tego Calderon, International artist Laura Pausini, and Multi Grammy award winning Rap artist, Missy Elliot.

Sin Bandera, comprised of Mexican Leonel Garcia and Argentine Noel Schajris, crafts enticingly slick modern pop marked by exquisitely smooth vocals, slow-jam hip-hop beats, and velvety production. The band has collaborated on numerous productions for several artists including Alejandro Fernandez, AB Quintanilla II & Los Kumbia Kings, Franco De Vita, and Presuntos Implicados. They recently received four 2005 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, as well as two Latin Grammy Awards, a Billboard Award, and an MTV Latin America Video Music Award.

The presentation of Sin Bandera at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts marks the latest in the Arts Center's outreach efforts aimed at providing meaningful headline entertainment and fine arts performances to the North Bay Latino community. These efforts have resulted in the presentation of several highly successful Latin performances, including the 2005 sold out shows of superstar Mexican artists Pepe Aguilar and Juan Gabriel.
