This Year's Entertainment

WAR's fusion of rock, jazz, Latin and R&B created a musical melting pot and an enduring influence that has sold nearly 25 million records to date. Today, WAR is a permanent part of America's pop cultural landscape. They boast a catalogue of timeless hits that permeate our everyday lives and have been featured in countless movies, television shows and commercials.

The original street band, WAR was formed in the 1969 and went on to earn 17 gold, platinum or multi-platinum albums. Still popular hits include "The Cisco Kid," "Why Can't We Be Friends?" and "Low Rider." Consistent sales and thriving tour business are a tribute to the timelessness of WAR's music and message. Perhaps nothing epitomizes this better than the fact that WAR has twice been honored by its hometown of Los Angeles, more than 20 years apart, for its music making positive contributions to the betterment of the community.
