(note: to listen to his music, scroll down the newsletter to New Release section)

 

Mista Majah P has just released his new reggae album, marking a huge step in the career of the multi-talented singer-songwriter. The lyrical focus of the album is to liberate the homophobic and celebrate the LGBT (lesbian gay bi-sexual transgender) experience. The release of this album will hopefully build his fan base and get his music heard by more people than ever, especially in his native home of Jamaica.

 

The CD, ‘Tolerance’, consists of 11 original songs, each providing a combination of his melodious vocals and heartfelt lyrics. The rhythmic undercurrent bears treatment to roots-reggae, dancehall, hip-hop, pop and r&b.

 

The album was recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered at Shaolin Studio in Hayward California and all songs are written, performed and produced by Majah P. The theme of the album underlies the changes he has gone through in recent years with marriage, a new son and becoming an American citizen. It was these changes of status that allowed him this opportunity to explore, through his music, the experience of all who have suffered hate, intolerance, discrimination and bullying because of their sexual orientation.

 

‘Tolerance’ reveals raw lyrical emotions, pulsating drum-and-base reggae rifts, plus the stunning array of influences that have found their way into his music. He was already soaked with the red gold and green roots of reggae music when he migrated to Toronto, Canada in 1982 and carried with him the new sound ‘Reggae DanceHall Roots”, which he unleashed on the Canadian reggae music scene. He was nominated 10 times for the Canadian Reggae Music Award, winning on four occasions, including ‘Entertainer of the Year’ in 1997.  He has performed all over the USA, Canada, Jamaica and England and brings to the live stage his special brand of total entertainment.

 

Also an accomplished actor, Mista Majah P has appeared in three feature films including the highly acclaimed “Cop and a Bad Man” performing on screen and writing and performing one of the sound tracks. He has appeared in over ten music videos and released over 12 music CDs.

 

He does not shy away from including political references in his music; this can be deduced from the samples of his songs in ‘Tolerance’, which include sound bites and excerpts from news broadcasts relating to homophobia.

 

With the release of ‘Tolerance’, Majah P has broken new ground by taking on the cultural intolerance of a section of his native Jamaican society, and the LGBT rights debates in the halls of the US Congress.

 

Fans are encouraged to visit the artist on MySpace and Facebook. Sample tracks are available at cdbaby.com, itunes and independentdistro.com

Leading Reggae Festival partners with Marley family to chill festival goers and do good!

 

Taking its name from the legendary peace concert of 1978 that featured Bob Marley and the Wailers, the One Love Festival takes residency at Hainault Country Park, London on the weekend of 19th August.  Featuring a heavyweight line-up that includes legends Ken Boothe, Johnny Clarke, Wailing Souls, Susan Cadogan and Dawn Penn, as well contemporary artists such as Finley Quaye,  Andrew Tosh & Dub Inc the fourth year the UK’s largest Reggae & Dub camping festival promises to be the biggest yet!

 

This year also sees the festival team-up with the Marley family owned Marley Beverage Company and their relaxation drinks, Marley’s Mellow Mood, as headline sponsor. Whilst Marley’s Mellow Mood will be spreading the chilled vibes to festival goers and artists alike, the brand is also using One Love as an opportunity to raise awareness of the Marley’s official charitable platform (to which a portion of all Marley’s Mellow Mood sales are donated) by agreeing to name the performance arena the ‘1Love.Org  main stage’. Commenting on the collaboration of Marley’s Mellow Mood and 1Love.Org, Cedella Marley, Bob's daughter, said:

 

"Marley's Mellow Mood helps move my family's mission forward with the principles of our father's belief in that calm breeds peace, respect and love, while 1Love.org helps pay those messages forward".

 

Positioned in opposition to energy drinks, all-natural Marley’s Mellow Mood is designed to reduce stress and relieve tension. Formulated with an exotic blend of all-natural botanical ingredients sourced from around the world, Marley's Mellow Mood has become one of the beverage industry's breakout hits. Marley’s Mellow Mood is available in two varieties: lightly carbonated 355ml sodas (Berry and Citrus) and 473ml ice teas (Herbal Honey and Peach, Raspberry, Passion Fruit flavours) and is available from independent convenience stores nationwide.

After seven years Jimmy Cliff is back with a new EP to be released in November. This is especially good news that this is pre-cursor to a new studio album in early 2012. For this EP he is teamed up with producer Tim Armstrong. He has also a recorded a cover of The Clash's seminal "Guns of Brixton".

 

Artist: Jimmy Cliff

Title: as-yet-untitled
Release date: Unknown
Label: Collective Sounds
Single:

Jimmy Cliff
Buy at: Amazon

 

For the EP and full-length, Cliff teamed up with Armstrong - a lifelong admirer of his work and a known purveyor of reggae music's lasting influence and cultural impact. "Tim has such a great foothold in the tradition. He woke me up to a lot of the things I had forgotten," said Cliff. "I enjoy the creative spontaneity of collaborating with other people. I always want to try new things. It's the type of creative energy I have."

 

Armstrong adds, "Jimmy is one of my musical heroes and I've been responding to his music my entire life." 

The unlikely pairing has produced songs deeply rooted in the reggae tradition with their own renewed feel. "I knew vaguely about Tim through working with Joe Strummer and wanted to bring something fresh to the marketplace. Us coming from such different musical poles brought a great energy to the songs. I wanted to create something with a fresh sound - that's why we decided to test the waters," said Cliff. "I've always wanted to work with him and we connected immediately, which doesn't happen all the time," added Armstrong. "This is Jimmy's record and I'm honored to be a part of it."

 

On the new songs, Cliff expand on the heritage of a genre that he was such an integral part of popularizing. The music echoes Cliff's work as a lifelong activist and purveyor of social justice - addressing issues such as war, economical instability, and political hypocrisy.

 

Cliff is the only living musician to receive Jamaica's Order of Merit, the country's highest honor for achievement in the arts and sciences. In 2007, he was also honored with a doctorate from The University of the West Indies. In a career that spans nearly fifty years, he has sold more than twenty million albums, with over twenty-five releases to his credit. He has appeared in several films, including, most notably, The Harder They Come, whose impact on reggae and pop music in general can scarcely be overstated. He has collaborated with countless other legends including The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer and Annie Lennox. Bob Dylan has called Cliff's "Vietnam" the best protest song he ever heard, and a short list of artists who have covered Cliff's compositions ranges from Willie Nelson and Cher, to New Order and Fiona Apple.

 

In 2010, Cliff was one of six artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Cliff will spend the rest of the year touring Europe and putting the final touches on his forthcoming full-length release. 

At 63 years old, Cliff remains as passionate and creative as ever. "This is another step in the journey which I am enjoying very much," said Cliff. "These songs are about the sacred fire inside of me. As an artist and activist, I feel I have more to accomplish. The fire is still there."

MIAMI, FL (August 18, 2011) – A cornucopia of music will provide a feast of multicultural delights as world beat music takes center stage at the Bayside Rocks Music & Arts Festival on Saturday November 19, 2011 in Miami. A melodic smorgasbord featuring a musical genre for every taste - including reggae, Jamaican, Latin American, Kompa, Caribbean, rock ‘n roll, and more - will highlight this year’s concert.

 

In addition to a special tribute to the life of Honorable Robert Nesta ‘Bob’ Marley and 50 years of Wailers music, this year’s Bayside Rocks will feature world music headliners Bunny Wailer and The Original Wailers.  Also hitting the stage are a unique group of artists whose musical brilliance is eclipsed only by its message of love and hope.

 

“I carefully selected this lineup because every artist has devoted his life to spreading a message that is consistent with my purpose,” said ROCKAZ MVMT president and CEO Alfonso D’Niscio Brooks.  “We are all striving to change the world for the better by empowering people to make a positive difference through the universal language of music.”

 

According to artist Warrior King, "As a Rastafarian you just don't sing music, you sing music with a purpose and a mission. To the four corners of the Earth I carry my music, and the message of love, to all people of all races."

 

Cultura Profetica is a Puerto Rican reggae band with lyrics that center mostly on socio-political and ecological issues. Pato Banton sometimes invites his fans to join him in a prayer circle after the show and is committed to helping people “stay positive and never give in.”

 

Connis Vanterpool is a brilliantly talented musician who has worked with scores of international artists but is most proud of his involvement with the volunteer work he has done in the community, providing free music workshops at various elementary and secondary schools. Tabou Combo’s vocalist and main songwriter Fanfan said, "We want people to dance and forget their sorrows." And while there is no doubt that Tabou’s music is made for dancing, it also features lyrics that focus on social issues of the day.

 

Gondwana, from Chile, has been spreading the word of Jah Love, standing tall and strong in a peace-loving position of musical and lyrical creation. And according to artist Luciano, "We are all children of the Most High God and I just want my family and my fans to receive the blessings that God has given."  The Wailing Souls’ Lloyd ‘Bread’ McDonald adds to this, "Apart from the musical aspect of what we are doing, we see it as a very spiritual thing. Whenever you start singing, everyone come together. The bad guys come together, the good guys come together, everybody come together. The rich people, poor people, like one. The message what we a try to preach is love and unity.”

 

“Our ultimate goal is to uplift the spirit and inspire people of every ilk to give of themselves to help make the world a better place in which to live,” said D’Niscio Brooks.  “We’re accomplishing this task by spreading art, culture and music while raising money to end poverty, feed the hungry and shelter the homeless.”

 

This year’s concert will include a food drive benefiting Curley’s House (www.curleyshouseinc.com) an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for low-to-moderate income individuals, families, the elderly, youth-at-risk, the abused, and HIV/AIDS infected individuals by providing the nutrition they need. Guests will be asked to contribute two or more cans of food as part of the cost of admission.

 

“Given the philanthropic nature of this event, we’re inviting all civic minded companies to join us as sponsors,” D’Niscio Brooks said.  “It’s a great way to get your name in front of tens of thousands of people while ensuring that hundreds of thousands of dollars are donated to a very worthy cause.”

 

The Bayside Rocks Music & Arts Festival is scheduled for Saturday November 19, 2011 at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami.  For additional information about corporate sponsorships and ticket sales for the 2011 Bayside Rocks Music & Arts Festival contact Margaret Kessler at 954-284-4819 or email her at media@rockazmvmt.com

Rastagarians are getting ready for the Big Ship to dock in Calgary at Shaw Millennium Park on Saturday, August 20, for REGGAEFEST 2011.

"The last time I was in Calgary was over 20 years ago with Dennis Brown and I just cannot wait to be back with a new generation of Reggae artistes" says the Big Ship captain Freddie McGregor.

 

If there are royal families in Reggae, then the McGregor's would only be second to the Marley's for the throne.

" Think about it, the legendary Freddie McGregor has remained consistent as a performer, his son Stephen is the top producer in the Jamaica, son Chino just released a very highly acclaimed debut album and daughter Shema is building a name for herself. When you say Big Ship all ears perk up and eyes open wide" says a very excited Leo Cripps, ReggaeFest producer.

For REGGAEFEST 2011 the Grammy nominated Freddie McGregor and the Big Ship family sail into Calgary with the past, present and future directions of Reggae music including Reggae songbird Nadine Sutherland and Big Ship protégé Laden and this has had every Reggae lover in and around the city excited.

"It's just incredible to see how many of our online ticket purchases are from the 780 and 250 area codes" says the festival's Executive Director Cindy Nield. "This really shows that REGGAEFEST truly belongs to all the people of Western Canada.

 

"

The stellar line up of performers for REGGAEFEST 2011 Mainstage Event at Shaw Millennium Park includes New Kingston, Rebel Emergency, Lenn Hammond, Fenom and more.

Pre-REGGAEFEST events start on Wednesday, August 17 at the Ship & Anchor Pub (534 - 17 Avenue SW) with the REGGAEFEST 2011 Kick-off and Project ROAR fundraiser featuring Maximum Force and New Kingston performing.

 

Thursday, August 18 has two events. Reggae Downtown at noon featuring Kae Sun and Natural Flavas and the Canadian Reggae Music Showcase featuring Souljah Fyah, Kae Sun, Natural Flavas and Rebel Emergency in the evening at The Republik (219 - 17 Avenue SW). The show starts at 9:00 pm and the $10 suggested donation will benefit Project ROAR.

Come out and support live Canadian Reggae Music as both events feature only Canadian performers. 

On Friday, August 19 join REGGAEFEST at Cantos Music Foundation (134 - 11 Avenue SE) from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm for an interactive workshop on the topic - What have we learned from Reggae music! This is a free event.

Remember it's not every day you get to Reggae and Calgary REGGAEFEST isn't just for Reggae fans. It's an event that transcends all racial, cultural and musical boundaries. REGGAEFEST 2011 will deliver over 12 hours of non-stop family friendly Reggae entertainment. Activities throughout the mainstage event will include a fun and interactive youth area, food and merchandise vendors and the Big Rock Beer Garden.

ReggaeFest Mainstage tickets are on sale until 11:00 AM Friday, August 19, 2011 at Calgary Co-op food stores and at www.ReggaeFest.ca. Get yours today!

From Suga Roy:

 

I give thanks to Jah for inspiring me with this idea to do this album "Suga Roy And Conrad Crystal Universal Tribute To Gregory Isaacs” featuring Fantan Mojah and Luciano on separate tracks.

 

The album has tracks such as ‘Night Nurse’, ‘All I Have Is Love’,

‘Universal’, ‘Tune In’, ‘Hard Drugs’, ‘Border’ plus 12 more classic tracks. I respect Gregory very much as an icon of reggae music; he was one of the greatest singer/songwriter in culture and lovers rock reggae and was one of my idols since I was a youth.

 

I love his music so much that in 2004 I teamed up with Conrad Crystal to do a remake of the Gregory classic ‘Love Overdue’ and that remake was a success for me and Conrad Crystal; everywhere we performed it, people loved it.

 

In 2006 I did a remake of ‘Soon Forward’ with Gregory Isaacs himself! It was a great experience for me to work with him as one of the great living icons at that time.

 

This new album is produced by Leroy ‘Suga Roy’ More for Fire Ball Records label. I want everyone to support this album.
