May 11, 2011 – Following a two month tour of Senegal, Brazil, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and Vanuatu, plus four sold-out headline shows in California earlier this year, Grammy nominated reggae singer Ky-Mani Marley will soon head back on the road, playing both festivals and club/theatre shows at home and abroad. 

 

In July, he will team up with fellow reggae singer, Gramps Morgan, of Morgan Heritage. This West Coast U.S. co-headline run dubbed the Reggae Revolution Tour, will be the first time these two second generation artists will tour together, with stops in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. “I’m excited to finally be touring with my long-time friend and brother, Gramps,” expressed Ky-Mani. "The Reggae Revolution Tour with Ky-Mani and myself, simply is history being written," added Gramps.

 

The tour will include two heritage festivals: the 27th Annual Reggae on the River in Northern California where they will share the stage with the likes of Tony Rebel, Bushman, Queen Ifrica, Seun Anikulapo Kuti & Egypt 80; and in Victoria, BC, the 12th Annual Ska Festival, a popular three day celebration of ska, reggae, dub and punk music. Fans are encouraged to follow Ky-Mani and Gramps on Facebook and Twitter for the opportunity to win tickets, meet & greets and official merchandise.

 

Ky-Mani will then make a long-awaited return to the U.K. and parts of Europe. This run will include four festivals: Mela Festival in Norway, One Love Peace Festival in London, Reggae Jam Festival in Germany and Reggae Sun Ska Festival in France. Shaggy, Sean Paul, Busta Rhymes and Third World are among the heavyweights scheduled to perform at the One Love Peace Festival. This event was inspired by the historic One Love Peace Concert held in Jamaica in 1978, headlined by Bob Marley, to bring about peace between the warring factions in Kingston’s inner city areas.

"Reggae 4 Japan" is a benefit concert being produced by Japanese sound system Mighty Crown and their management team Irish and Chin, in conjunction with VP Records, to support Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami relief on June 5, 2011 at York College Auditorium in Queens, New York. Additionally, IrieJam Radio is the event's official media sponsor.  Profits from the event will be donated to the American Red Cross -- Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Efforts. This unprecedented benefit concert will bring together members of the Reggae music fraternity/industry to support relief for Japan. To date, top artists including Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Maxi Priest, Freddie McGregor and the Big Ship family, Capleton, Tarrus Riley, Mr. Vegas, Gramps Morgan, Peter Morgan, Alaine, Tanya Stephens and Etana have committed to the cause and will perform at "Reggae 4 Japan."

 

The artists on the line-up have an overwhelming amount of respect and concern for Japan, as the country is on the ground responding to the disaster and continuing recovery operations. All of the artists are thankful for Japan's great endorsement and genuine love of Reggae music and culture over the years, displayed through successful tours, commercial success and fan support in the country.

 

 

"The Alchemystics are not content to rely on standard rhythms or trite chord progressions. Reggae beats are infused with hip- hop lyricism to create a sound that is polished and refreshingly unpredictable. In a world where musicians seem content to follow established formulas it encouraging to find a band that can defy boundaries with skill and grace."
LISA MCINTYRE  performer magazine

 

 

A ray of light in a formulaic musical world, The Alchemystics have spent years perfecting their genre-bending, socially-conscious blend of reggae, politically infused hip-hop, gritty soul, hard-driving rock, and pulsing Jamaican, Cuban and Trinidadian rhythms into an utterly unique and distinctively original new sound. This is modern-day roots music with global appeal – an alchemy of ancient musical traditions; intricate, intelligent wordplay; elementally raw soul; irresistible hooks; deep, driving rhythms; and old-school vocal harmonies.

 

Formed by producers, and rhythmic earth shakers Demse Zullo - drums/percussion & Garrett Sawyer - bass in early 2003, the Alchemystics under their musical direction have grown into an eclectic lineup of talented musicians combining the inspired, masterful vocals of Ras Jahn and Ian-I, the smooth and socially conscious lyricism of Force, and the cosmic keyboards of Jay Metcalf. Together, the Alchemystics have catalyzed into an original, unstoppable musical force. Their high-energy, fiercely danceable live shows, have gained the band a passionately loyal multi-cultural, multi-generational following throughout North East, and beyond.

 

 

The Alchemystics firmly embrace the philosophy that music and art are tools for propelling social change in society and that the future of music and the planet necessitates bringing people of diverse backgrounds together to create conscious community. Individually and collectively, the members of the Alchemystics prioritize giving back to their local community, working closely with local youth groups and lending their musical talents when called upon. Individually and as a group, Alchemystics members regularly guest lecture, teach, and perform at schools and colleges throughout the Northeast.

 

With their new album, Spread Hope (May 23, 2011) The Alchemystics have released their unmistakable sound and positive message to the world. Funky guitar, cascading bass lines, tight percussion, and layered keyboards create a rich sonic tapestry that weaves together musical and cultural elements of the past and present into the new sound of tomorrow.  Produced by Demse Zullo & Garrett Sawyer of Northfire Crew , Spread Hope breaks free of traditional musical boundaries, equally setting dancehalls, festivals, and clubs ablaze.

 

July 2nd 2011, history will be made when Earthbound Jamaica in association with United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and Environmental Foundation of Jamaica (EFJ) presents “Green 4 Life” Eco-Music Festival, the first of its kind in the Caribbean Region.

For patrons to see why we need to preserve Jamaica and it’s beauty; to discover our country and its important resources; introduce new products and methods for today's lifestyle, in a surrounding built by Nature and filled with Jamaican music and Healthy foods.’ remarked Yolande Rattray-Wright, the Festival’s Producer.  “Green 4 Life” seeks to highlight quality products here in Jamaica, Healthy-eating habits, Natural Medicines, Jamaican Fashion and so much more. A Grand Farmers Market will also be organized to assist local area farmers with their cash crops.

A brand new venue, RivFalls, for this trailblazing event houses natural waterfalls, 100% spring water stream and a large beautiful green landscape.

Stone Love Movements will lead off the entertainment package for ‘Green 4 Life’ playing roots reggae all day.

MIRAMAR - 7-time Grammy award winning singer-songwriter, Stephen Marley, is set to release his third solo project, REVELATION PT 1: THE ROOT OF LIFE from Ghetto Youths/Tuff Gong/Universal Republic on May 24, 2011. Conceived as a celebration and preservation for roots rock reggae, REVELATION PT 1: THE ROOT OF LIFE ensures that the music's regal template is maintained throughout the 21st century.

 

Anchored in reggae's scorching drum and bass backbeat, THE ROOT OF LIFE delivers an organic and richly textured sound through its 14 tracks, making it a true body of work that delivers powerful messages and encouragement for the struggling masses ("Working Ways"); depicts the harrowing residual effect of slavery ("Old Slaves"); evokes the sorrow of rejection ("She Knows Now"); conveys the disappointment of "False Friends"; in reggae's lovers-rock tradition a duet with Melanie Fiona, "No Cigarette Smoking"; to the final track "Now I Know," a contemplative song about moving on.

 

The first single, "Jah Army," features Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley and Buju Banton spitting formidable, career-defining verses over a thunderous one-drop rhythm with lyrics to rally the troops. "Whether it's in the music or our life, get it together man, the Gideon is on," declares Stephen.

 

Conceived as a two part project, THE ROOT OF LIFE will be followed by the release of REVELATION PT 2: THE FRUIT OF LIFE, due in fall of 2011, which will feature an array of styles that have emanated from reggae's core.

 

4 TBS Pretty- T Tea
3–4 large Garnet Yams (about 3–4 lbs), peeled & chopped in 1 inch cubes
2 TBS VEGAN  butter
¾ cup vanilla soy creamer
½ cup Pretty T  concentrate (use tea broth with tea leaves from boiled yams)
2 TBS agave
½ tsp cardamom
1 tsp pepper
½ tsp allspice
2 tsp sea salt

2. Melt VEGAN butter over medium–high heat in another large pot. Strain yams from boiled tea and add to melted butter. (Tealeaves are welcomed)
3. Add soy creamer, The Herbal Experience concentrate, Agave & begin to mash. Add spices and mash until smooth & creamy. ~
