BOB MARLEY'S HEIRS WIN IMAGE CASE IN NEVADA COURT
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A federal jury has sided with Bob Marley's family in ruling against a Nevada company accused of making and selling apparel featuring the reggae icon's image.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Friday that jurors ruled against AVELA and owner Leo Valencia, awarding $300,000 in damages to a company owned by Marley's family.
U.S. District Judge Philip Pro is expected to award more damages after determining how much profit was lost because of unfair competition.
A lawyer told the jury in Las Vegas that Bob Marley's children don't want to see the reggae legend portrayed as a bobblehead or a plush toy.
Marley died in 1981 at age 36. His heirs, under the name Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Ltd. and Zion Rootswear, filed the lawsuit in January 2008.
RISEUP! WATCH THE TRAILER AND VISIT THE OFFICIAL RISEUP WEBSITE
In celebration of Black History Month, we present RiseUp, an award-winning documentary film on Jamaican Music culture.
There is a place on earth where music is not just entertainment, it's a way of life. Far from the tourist resorts, RiseUp travels to the heart of contemporary Jamaica and its flourishing underground music scene. On an island where reggae is considered the voice of the people and an outlet for survival, three aspiring artists - Turbulence (a charismatic lyrical master from the ghetto), Ice Anastasia (the privileged uptown artist), and Kemoy (a shy angelic songstress from the country) - seek to "rise up" into the legendary eminence of their iconic predecessors. Deep in the ghettos where reggae was born, music continues to be a key form of expression for ghetto youths, who still face crippling inequalities, poverty, and violence. The award-winning film combines interviews with local underground musicians and Jamaica's music elite, with an energetic and inspiring soundtrack that gives life to an entire nation. RiseUp is a celebration of struggle and the elevation of the human spirit, a testimonial of what hope and courage can achieve in a land which is largely unseen, but certainly not unsung.
Welcome to the Jamaican underground music scene.
Directed by Luciano Blotta 2010, 88 min.

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING ABOUT RISEUP: . "'Rise Up' has so many elements that will excite and inspire student and faculty audiences. Students will come away with an appreciation not only of the music, but of the various film crafts Blotta mastered in delivering this fine film." - Amanda Pope, USC Film Professor . "RiseUp was a moving, inspirational and entertaining film for us to open our season with. Politically punchy, but also uplifting and inspirational, we feel that RiseUp was the perfect choice and we can attest that the other 400+ students in the audience thought so as well." - Ezra Winton, Cinema Politica . "Rise Up has strong interdisciplinary value, and I use the film as an integral part of the curriculum in several courses, including Intro to Media Studies, Auteur Expression in Film, and Cinematography and Sound." - Cesare Wright, MFA, PhD (ABD). President, Kino-Eye Center . "A popular Docs For Schools title, RiseUp has the winning combination of being both entertaining and educational. Far more than any textbook is capable, the film offers intimate insight into the island culture and its people." - Lesley Sparks, Education and Youth Programs Manager, Hot Docs Canada . "I appreciated how they took a street/bush culture which is normally viewed as crude and violence-prone and treated it with respect and sensitivity. I hope millions see this movie." - Terry Swinton, author of Lazarus and the Hurricane: The Freeing of Rubin Hurricane Carter .. "The scope of its content allowed it to work within the thematic but break out into deeper territory...That 'versatility' was an important part of that program and it's rare to find works that can cross over in such a strong thematic. As a documentary in its own right, it is also rare today to see longitudinal works such as this and audiences respond strongly to that and appreciate the depth." - Richard Sowada, Australian Centre for the Moving Image . "ImageNation was extremely proud to produce the New York City premiere of RiseUp at Lincoln Center. This film aligns perfectly with our mission. By taking a candid look at three socially, economically and aesthetically diverse artists, the film makes a bold and uncompromising statement about economics, opportunity and cultural identity in Jamaica." - Moikgantsi Kama, Image Nation

RAGGAMUFFINS KICKOFF INVITATION - LOS ANGELES
Duane Stephenson On Tour In Celebration of BLACK GOLD
Los Angeles, California, January 27, 2011 -- Duane Stephenson is currently on his fourth tour outing with reggae’s legendary group The Wailers. Recent tours throughout South America and the U.S. have garnered a positive response with sold out performances for this compelling songwriter and versatile singer.
Performing songs from his September, 2010 VP Records release, BLACK GOLD as well as songs from his debut album FROM AUGUST TOWN (2007), Duane explains that he is “meeting many fans for the first time and these fans are a bit out of the scope of the traditional reggae market, working with the Wailers, and the support has been great so far.” Duane’s introduction to The Wailers was through their work with the United Nations World Food Programme.
He was invited to write a song “A Step for Mankind” to support the WFP. Duane is currently working on a new song whose proceeds will benefit the World Food Programme’s largest global operation in Sudan. In October, 2010 Duane was invited by the World Food Programme to honor of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the The George McGovern Leadership Award Ceremony as part of his work to spread the message of the need for more action in addressing the issue of world hunger.
As for the scope of his contribution as a reggae artist and humanitarian, he explains: “What I am doing is part of a larger mandate. The more you can do to make the world a better place for everybody, it is really a pleasure to do the little bit that I am actually doing, the feeling is great. It is something worthwhile as there are not many of these opportunities left.” Don’t miss Duane Stephenson while he is on tour throughout February and 2011!

REGGAE FOR RECOVERY - AUSTRAILIA
by Katherine Feeney
January 21, 2011
Mary J Blige is among the international superstar line-up performing at Reggae for Recovery, Brisbane.
Originally called Raggamuffin and intended for Pine Rivers, those plans were cast asunder when floods inundated the venue and wrecked havoc with Andrew McManus' annual music festival.
What: Benefit Concert
When: Sunday January 30
Where: Riverstage, City Botanic Gardens, Brisbane CBD
How much: $99
For: Premier's Flood Relief Appeal
Your contribution: All profits donated directly
But now, McManus has turned the tables, renaming and relocating his reggae festival for the benefit of all Queensland flood victims.
Ticket prices have also been reduced.
Now called Reggae for Recovery and hosted in Brisbane, the event will have the likes of Mary J Blige, Jimmy Cliff, Maxi Priest and Sean Paul singing for the sake of the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal.
In addition, 10 per cent of profits from this year's Raggamuffin shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide will be donated to the cause.
“All of our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families affected by the tragic events in Queensland,” McManus said.
“Let's hope we can raise a substantial amount of money to ease some of the pain and to aid in the rebuilding of Queensland.”
Tickets and more information available via the website.

Son of legendary Jamaican music icon Peter Tosh, Andrew Tosh has received his second Grammy nomination in the Best Reggae Album category for his new acoustic tribute album, LEGACY.
Tosh was previously acknowledged by the Recording Academy for his album Make Place For The Youth (1989).
Released in September to critical acclaim, LEGACYactually featured on the homepage of digital music mega store ITunes for several weeks after its release.
Co-produced with Handel Tucker and Dawn Simpson of Box 10 Ent Group Inc, LEGACYfeatures ten of Andrew’s favourite songs from his father catalogue including ‘Creation’, ‘African’, ‘Pick Myself Up’, ‘I Am’ featuring Andrew’s uncle Bunny Wailer, of the original Wailers and the lead single from the album ‘Lessons in My Life’ which also features the talent of Kymani Marley. This was a significant track as it features for the very first time, the offspring of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley collaborating on a song together.
News of the 2011 Grammy nomination put Andrew in a thankful mood. “It is an awesome feeling to be nominated within itself. I am not even focusing on winning (the Grammy) but to be nominated among the six makes me feel like a winner already.” Andrew explains. Andrew Tosh currently hard at work on his new album entitled I to I to be released in the first quarter of 2011.

Oneil Peart - BEYOND STARDOM
As one might expect, Oneil Peart well recalls his experience as a Rising Stars finalist.
"To me, it wasn't so much about whether I won or went home, I was really grateful for the opportunity to give Jamaica a glimpse of my talent, that was my primary objective. And I was even more pleased with how the people responded." His song “Judge Dem” produced by Shane Brown which was done for the compilation album with the other finalists has become quite popular with the teenagers and in the UK / Europe market.
That was only the beginning that alone will not be able to define him. WOW
The son of rural Jamaica admits to not coming under any direct musical influences while growing up (no one else in his immediate family had any notable musical abilities, or interests) and it was only upon entering Excelsior Community College that he began to gravitate toward music as a serious occupation. Thereafter, his innate abilities emerged, and while does acknowledge help in certain aspects; his musical acumen is largely self-taught.
On leaving EXED, he sought to gain wider exposure, and the Rising Stars competition came along at just the right juncture.
Now, Oneil Peart is ready to be judged on the merits of his own offerings, rather than merely singing along (his guitar notwithstanding) to the works of others.” I’m confident that I have something to say, and music is something that I'm involved in for the long term. I see myself as an artist, and as such, I intend to present my own music, with my own perspectives, to Jamaica and, in time, the world."
To this end, Oneil is balancing his current day job as a teacher, with making records and is moving toward making his presence felt on the music scene. And despite not having much of a physical presence since the competition, he's still being remembered and noticed by serious music connoisseurs. He was given the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in 2008 which is the perfect platform for a sure winner this year written by the Jamaica Observer.
His second single “Still Got the Blues” just released by Red Nile Music along with a spectacular sexy video to compliment the song.
And so, in comes a dedicated and substantial musical talent, at another interesting and opportune juncture in the music sphere. This time, it’s a permanent engagement.
Seek God continually

Inner Circle/SPY v SPY Rocks Brazil
"Reggae Rock Surf Music Festival"
Most people know Inner Circle via "Bad Boys," the ubiquitous "Cops" theme song that typified Inner Circle as one of reggae's most successful crossover groups ever.
On the legendary band's latest CD Blazzin' Fire: Classic Cuts (DubShotta/SoundBwoy Ent), the two-time Grammy winners create one of the hardest-hitting, most lyrically serious albums to be heard in recent years. Joined by an all-star group of guests, including the likes of Buju Banton, Pitbull, Stephen and Damian Marley, Gramps from Morgan Heritage, Anthony B and more. Blazzin' Fire: Classic Cuts re-asserts the depth of Inner Circle's musical history.
It all makes perfect sense when you realize that Inner Circle are survivors, one of a handful of pioneering reggae artists still around with the credentials and artistry to do it, with a rich history--especially their classic reggae hits with lead singer Jacob Miller--too often overshadowed by their pop success. January 20th, Inner Circle will join forces with Australian group Spy v Spy for the Brazil Reggae Rock Surf Festival tour, and then return home for the Bob Marley Movements: 18th Annual 9 Mile Music Festival with Stephen, Damian, Julian and Kymani Marley, and Slightly Stoopid.

Musician/Singer/Songwriter, Fashion Designer, Visual Artist, Cen’C Love is a 21st century renaissance woman.
Born in America to Caribbean parents, Cen’C was raised between Kingston and Atlanta spending time equally between the two.
In Atlanta, she attended Dekalb School of the Arts. There along with talents such as crooner Lloyd, professional dancers LaKendrick, and Saheedah Fishenden among others, she studied dance, drama and writing. She was trained in classical voice by Jamaican born opera singer, Mrs. Dawn-Marie James nee Virtue.
Cen’C has the sultry voice and soulful sounds of a Billie Holiday, the musicianship of Lauren Hill and the word wit of Jill Scott.
For Cen’C Love art is a lifestyle. Traveling throughout most of her summers with her fashion designer/dancer mom, she attended art and trade shows around the US where she received some of the inspiration that she now applies to her work.
None of this should be surprising since Cen’C is the prodigy of the illustrious “Wailers” family of Reggae and the daughter of founding member of the acclaimed group, Neville Livingston, AKA Bunny Wailer.
The Wailers’ legacy is clearly apparent in Cen’C’s socially conscious songs. Songs such as SYSTEM, which describes the Babylon matrix control type system and THESE LIES about women with low self-esteem and their obsession with artificial identities. Her message of love is poignant and inspiring in songs like PARADISE and HEY YOU, stripping away the fear of baring our souls to love.
In addition to music, Cen’C embraces a natural holistic lifestyle through the practices of Yoga, Meditation, Qi-Gong and holistic nutrition. She is a very environmentally conscious woman who was raised in a green household, before green became the buzzword it is today.
Always on a quest for WISDOM and OVASTANDING, Cen’C loves to love and shares this love through her music.
In her own words:
“I was born free with the real truth inside of me
Provided by the will of the almighty
Free to be who I’m destined to be”.
Cen’C has performed on stages in Jamaica, Atlanta, Los Angeles New York and Amsterdam. In Atlanta at the 2008 Natural Hair Show and at the Centennial Park Wednesday Wind-down in July 08, she honed her talent in front of very appreciative audiences. She appeared at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam 08 and at the Reggae Awards in New York in the spring of 2009.
She has had numerous radio and television appearances and was featured in the Jamaican Gleaner and in High Times magazine.
Her recent and most rewarding accomplishment to date, however, was becoming a mother for the first time at the end of 2009.
With a new baby, a new attitude and a brand new sound, Cen’c Love is ready to share her infectious brand of Reggae Soul with the world.
