ERNIE SMITH - JAMAICA’S CULTURAL AMBASSADOR
Iconic Reggae singer Ernie Smith has been waving Jamaica’s flag very high the past couple of months, with performances and guest appearance at cultural celebrations in North America. Performing at Jamaica Day in Canada, Jamaica’s Independence Day in New York, and Emancipation Day in Jamaica, Smith proves to be one of Jamaica’s most enthusiastic cultural ambassadors.
In addition to his Jamaica Day performance, Smith did a two week tour of Canada, playing clubs and festivals throughout the country, before shooting down to New York for the August 6th Jamaica Independence festival in Brooklyn. This coming weekend, Smith will be on the West Coast with a performance in Los Angeles.
Since the beginning of his career in the late 1960s, Ernie has penned over 200 songs, several of which have been recorded by other artists, including Goldie Hawn, Johnny Nash, Rita Marley, Chakka Demus & Pliers, Sanchez, Twiggy, Eddie Lovett, Yellowman, famed gospel group Grace Thrillers and others. He has made an indelible mark on Jamaican music with Reggae classics “Bend Down,” “Ride On Sammy,” “One Dream,” “Pitta Patta,” and “Duppy Gunman.” In 1972, he beat songwriters Neil Sedaka and Michael Legrand, to win the Grand Prize at the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, and became the first Jamaican musician to win an international music award.
Ernie has hit many of the world’s greatest stages including repeat performances at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden. His anthology After 30 Years: Life is Just for Living was published in 1997. His latest album Country Mile was released in 2010 and features popular IRIE FM radio DJ Ron Machete, and veteran performer Pluto Shervington. In June, Ernie released the humorous single “Nutten A Guh Come Outta Dat.”
Junior Kelly:
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN TOUR, JUNIOR KELLY SETS HIS SIGHTS ON THE UNITED STATES
Root Reggae champion Junior Kelly spent much of the summer blazing a trail across Europe with powerful performances at the Chiemsee Reggae Festival in Germany, and the Sudoeste Festival in Portugal, where he shared the stage with American superstars Snoop Dogg and Kanye West, as well as roots legends Alpha Blondy, and Inner Circle. Kelly also gave rousing performances at the Garance Reggae Festival in France, Ruhr Festival in Germany, and the Oland Roots Festival in Sweden. The hectic tour also included club dates in Italy, Amsterdam, Denmark, and Slovenia.
After much success in Europe, Junior Kelly is eager to blaze a trail across the United States of America this fall. The well-seasoned and powerful performer was sorely missed at summer festivals throughout the United States, and is now set to give American Reggae music lovers precisely what they’ve been demanding.
Keith ‘Junior Kelly’ Morgan has spent the past decade touring the world as one of roots Reggae’s strongest acts. His breakthrough single “Love So Nice”established him as a bonafide star in 2000. His commanding juxtaposition of precisely timed, deejayed rhymes and melodic singing, coupled with his vivid storytelling abilities, took the song to #1 on the Jamaican charts. “Love So Nice” spent 15 weeks at the top, making it the island’s longest charting number one single for 2000.
The album Love So Nice, released in 2001, also spawned the well-received singles“Sunshine,” “Boom Draw” and the biting social commentary “Hungry Days,” which brought him recognition throughout the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. Kelly followed up Love So Nice, with Juvenille (2002), Conscious Voice (2002), Smile(2003), Bless (2003), and Tough Life (2005), His latest album, Red Pond (2010) features the lilting lovers rock tune “Too Late” with Queen Ifrica, “Murderer,” a ferocious admonishment of gun violence, and “African Child” which was partially inspired by Kelly’s unforgettable visit to Haiti.
Earlier this year, Junior Kelly released the critically acclaimed single “Mister Mighty,” which is currently in rotation on stations around the globe. www.reverbnation.com/juniorkelly
Prestige Prestige has ‘Questions’ Reggae artiste Prestige emerged from his studio session with this life reviling song of what’s happening in today world “Questions” is sure to put a new spin on positivity in our music. Since its release, the song has been getting regularly rotations in music segments and on radio airwaves.
This style should come as no surprise to persons who are familiar with Prestige’s music, as creativity is what this Trelawny born musician is all about. His talent was realised at an early age, and as such it came as no surprise to friends and family that he decided to pursue a career as a musician.
“The song really speaks for itself you know,” Prestige said. “Is really just a song for people to listen to, listen to the words, and consider the message that I’m trying to send though my lyrics and to reach the people,” the artiste continued.
Set to make a further indelible mark on the music industry, “Questions” is added to Prestige’s fast-building catalogue of music. Already, the artiste has released several notable singles, which are still getting airplay. Songs like “Dem Wrong,” “My Pride,” “We Nuh Trust Dem,” “Miss you Mama” and “She's Mine Tonight” still rattle crowds when the up and coming artiste performs.
Having moved from his rural home to further his endeavours in music, Prestige has been racking up performance hours since 2004. Prestige lists his love for music as his main and strongest motivating factor to press on in the business. His tenacity, which he said is inspired by people like Bob Marley, Beres Hammond, Dennis Brown, and Kenny Roger, has led to him touring Caribbean islands, Europe and major Cities and States in the USA.
Prestige, whose real name is Lauriston Bruce, is constantly working on new music and music lovers can expect more from the creative maverick that is Prestige.

Shot on several locations across Kingston the two day shoot captured the message of "Collide", a song which for Melody holds a double meaning.
"Its a new beginning for me as I reunite with my fans who have remained loyal over the years. We wanted the video to be a story of redemption, one that shows even the best fall down but more important than the falling down is how quick you get up and recover".
Best known for his hit singles "Want You Back", "Say What", "Rescue Me" and"Lived My Life" featuringTony Rebel and Beres Hammond, Singing Melody is showing no signs of slowing down as his love for heart warming music is now more obvious than ever before.

DON CARLOS – TOURING NORTH AMERICA FEBRUARY / MARCH 2012
|
|
|
Don Carlos is a classic reggae act with his horn section and his strong catalog of hit songs. Don is in great demand worldwide. His schedule of live shows is very busy. He recently returned from a September / October European tour, where he was again well received. Before that he was touring North America as a special guest with Slightly Stupid. Prior to that in June 2011 he did some western U.S. dates on his own including the Reggae in the Desert festival, in Los Vegas and also a big double bill show with Junior Reid at 4th and B in San Diego. Last winter Don performed on the Southern CA Raggamuffin shows in Long Beach and San Diego. That was a great tribute to Don, since normally they don’t repeat acts, and Don was on the shows last year as well. A lot of the festivals love Don and similarly host him year after year. He had an exceptionally strong performance on the Legends festival in San Diego. Last March, Don toured South America.
In his music, Don speaks for all people. He talks about peace and love, generosity and righteousness. He doesn’t leave out thanking Jah for everything. “I love you and Jah loves you more”, he says. “Love Jah, and you will have everything – all wisdom.” Don has a big heart and a kind loving spirit. He is a special artist. Because of his blessings, the multitudes are drawn to him.

DOCUMENTARY - RASTA: A SOUL'S JOURNEY - WORLD PREMIERE IN MONTREAL
|
|
|
|
As the eldest granddaughter of reggae music’s most iconic figure Bob Marley, Donisha Prendergast grew up in a world that revered the art and life of her grandfather. RasTa: A Soul’s Journey a feature length documentary by director Stuart Samuels is an exploration of Rastafari, the inspiration for Bob Marley’s music and his granddaughter’s desire to dispel any misconceptions about the world of Rastafari. The documentary will have its world premiere at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montreal , October 18th & 20th. The FNC is one of Canada ’s longest film festivals celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The film unfolds with Donisha's personal odyssey to challenge the often cartoon perception of Rastafarians, and her focus on putting the story and message of this movement into a personal and global perspective. In the film Donisha encounters Rastafari communities of all races in Israel , India , Jamaica , South Africa , Ethiopia , Canada and the United Kingdom . In these countries, she meets with men and women who have chosen a Rastafari lifestyle. She explores how the movement evolved in that particular place and ultimately hopes to find her purpose as a young Rasta woman. The documentary features interviews with British/Jamaican writer and dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah, who is strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he calls "street politics"; Reggae artist and successful entrepreneur Ras Levi-Roots, a Rastafarian who stands for peace, love and harmony amongst all people; Bob Marley’s youngest son Damien Marley , wife Rita Marley; and Dr. Jake Homiak, curator of the exhibit Discovering Rastafari at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute.
Produced by Patricia Scarlett and Marilyn Gray, RasTa: A Soul’s Journey is a documentary that moves away from the more familiar images of Jamaica , towards the various ways in which the Rastafarian movement has gone beyond the tiny Caribbean Island . It reveals the ways in which the message of Rastafari has manifested itself in diverse cultures, how the tenants of Rastafari are rooted in history and how they are made relevant to contemporary issues. The film’s narrative unfolds as a voyage of discovery, driven by a woman's intense desire to understand the past and make a clear meaning of the present.
RasTa: A Soul’s Journey was produced in partnership with Citytv.
Screening in Montreal :
Oct. 18 at Cinéma Odéon Quartier Latin at 3 pm
Oct. 20 at the Excentris (Parallèle) at 9.45 pm.

YELLOW DUBMARINE RELEASE ABBEY DUB A REGGAE RENDITION OF CLASSIC BEATLES ALBUM ABBEY ROAD
|
|
|
|
42 years and a day after the most legendary band of all time released a classic album that would be their swan song, another band presents their re-imagining of that same recording. It was September 26, 1969 when The Beatles gave the world the legendary Abbey Road. On September 27, 2011, Yellow Dubmarine offered up their stunning reggae re-make, Abbey Dub.
Yellow Dubmarine's Abbey Dub is an aural journey through the history of reggae with The Beatles as your guide. The band keeps the heart of the original 17 songs present, but simultaneously breathes new life into each track. Producer Kenny Liner, of The Bridge, crafts a sonic landscape that in one instant recalls traditional Nyagbinghi drumming before morphing into a simple Rock-steady cadence. Ska grooves full of Caribbean and Calypso coloring gives way to bass heavy Dub riddims. Horns emerge where there was once the voices of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison and a mellow skank where there was once Ringo Starr's four to the floor beat.
Song by song, Abbey Dub seems to discover the long lost island-roots of Abbey Road. It is quite simply a chance to hear the much loved classic album again for the first time.
Yellow Dubmarine Tour Dates October 14 | Capital Ale House | Richmond, VA October 15 | Martin's Downtown | Roanoke, VA October 28 | North Star Bar | Philadelphia, PA October 31 | Rams Head Live | Annapolis, MDB November 4 | Thunderbird Cafe | Pittsburg, PA November 5 | The 8x10 | Baltimore, MD November 9 | Westcott Theater | Syracuse, NY November 10 | Beachland Ballroom & Tavern | Cleveland, OH November 11 | Birdys | Indianapolis, IN November 12 | The Omni | Toledo, OH November 25 | World Cafe at The Queen Live | Wilmington, DE December 3 | Middle East Upstairs | Cambridge, MA December 17 | State Theater | Falls Church, VA December 22 | Mulcahy's | Wantagh, NY December 23 | Lupos Heart Break Hotel | Providence, RI February 17 | Flamingo Cantina | Austin, TX March 23 | Havana | New Hope, PA June 17 | Theater at Lime Kiln | Lexington, VA

SIMBA AMANI : :
|
|
Simba Amani hailing out of the twin island of Trinidad & Tobago is a young talented music artiste. After the recent launch of his first official music video he’s been gaining popularity on the music scene on a daily basis.
This video, for his song “Hold my peace” can be seen on Synergy Tv and several internet websites, and continues to spread daily. Simba, who resides in Trincity, has recently completed his course of study at the University of The West Indies, attaining his first degree and has since dedicated himself to his music full time.
The singer/songwriter recorded his first track in 2009 and for two years has managed to accomplish quite a lot with the sole support of a few close friends and family members. Making quite a name for himself, opening for several renowned stars like Jr Gong, Nas and Jah Cure to name a few, Simba is turning up the air waves and on the road to a promising and bright music career.
Now after signing a management deal with Schizophrenic Entertainment in July of this year, Simba’s game has been given the extra push needed and is constantly working on more projects. “Currently, I am working with a variety of local and foreign producers each with a different brand of music....although I started up singing mostly Reggae, I feel the need to truly express my versatility and my many moods which would be brought about with the different genres.”
The rising star is about to launch more songs including “She knows” amongst others. Different from "Hold My Peace" a Reggae single that has gotten him more into the spotlight and so far as being called the local ‘Jah Cure’. Simba would now leave others wondering what to call him as he releases this brand new dancehall track.
This new track really shows the young artiste's versatility as he makes out the girls who know exactly what they do to guys and was written by Simba himself. Simba expressed his plans of giving back to society.
Already with a number of great releases under his belt (Hello, All I Need, Let Jah Be Your Best Friend), both locally and internationally - having stretched his paws as far as Tanzania and Colombia- the young Lion says he's not stopping there. When asked of what more he has in store in the near future and beyond, he simply smiles and affirms that the only thing to expect from Simba Amani is the unexpected.

SUGA ROY - SUGA ROY & CONRAD CRYSTAL UNIVERSAL TRIBUTE TO GREGORY ISAACS: : :
|
|
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.

BELIEVE IN MAGIC!
"Most of the time, we fall in love but can’t remain there. The world then calls the state we were in a delusion or infatuation ... But we merely lacked, or someone else lacked, the emotional skills to hold on to the magic when the morning came. ... In truth, we can go to the moon and retain its magic for a lifetime."
-- Marianne Williamson

If you wish, and we really wish you wouldn't, like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
