Rootz Underground at The Independent,
San Francisco, April 5, 2012 |
RootzUnderground represents Jamaica’s most recent contribution to the international Reggae & World music scene. While undeniably rooted in reggae the six-member outfit uses their collective passion to create a sound that pushes boundaries and defies being boxed into a single genre. Electric yet organic, gritty and soulful; the band manages to harness the essence that the reggae aficionado was captivated by in the 1970’s while connecting the youth to the pure messages related to social justice, the environment and the freedom of creative expression combined with an explosive live performance.
The spring 2012 Rootz Releaf tour is part of the effort the band initiated which encourages fans to plant trees which are documented through a global mapping system on the rootzunderground.com website. For each tree planted, fans receive entrance to shows and other gifts for participation in the initiative. Also part of the initiative are events in Jamaica that raise awareness and necessary funds for programs starting in Fall 2012 with school age youth on the island to teach soil and plant cultivation, recycling and zero-waste practices.
To view live footage of the band please visit links below:

Taj Weekes & Adowa 2011 Year In Review |
|
History will define 2011 as ‘The Year of the Protester.’ The domino effect of the spirit of rebellion – from Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street – allowed the voice of the voiceless to finally be heard. For Taj Weekes & Adowa, protest and defiance are the cornerstones of their music and message so 2011 merely echoed the lyrics, the vibes and the emotion that encompass every piece they deliver to the masses. The band, self-described “town criers,” began 2011 on the heels of the release of their third album, A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen. Whether it’s an isolated story of human suffering and natural disasters (‘Rain Rain’), man-made disasters such as an oil spill (‘Drill’), a humanized tale of war (‘B4 the War’) or a decade’s worth of news headlines (‘Anthems of Hope’), the album serves as a musical montage that chronicles our modern day ills. It has garnered accolades from music critics and DJs around the world and was listed by New York Music Daily as one of the “50 Best Albums of 2011.” Additionally, the song, “Drill” was cited as one of the top 100 songs of the year. In France, the album was nominated as“Best Roots Album” by Reggae.fr, one of country’s major reggae media outlets. As the seeds of protest roamed across the globe, so did the music of Taj Weekes & Adowa.

Itineraire d'un Globetrotter
From walking the cafe lined streets of Paris to touching down on the African continent via Morocco to crossing the highways and bi-ways of the United States, Taj Weekes & Adowa added “globetrotter” to their ever growing list of monikers. First stop – Austin, Texas – where the band headlined the International Reggae Showcase at one of the music industry’s premier music conferences, South by Southwest (SXSW). Sharing the stage with Collie Buddz from Bermuda, Tidal Waves from South Africa, Black Ghandi from Spain, Mau Mau Chaplains from Austin, and Lynval Golding & Contra Coup from Seattle, Taj Weekes & Adowa performed to a sold out, international crowd of the world’s top music industry executives, fellow musicians and their Austin fans. In addition to the performance, the trip included panel discussions, a trade show and interviews from Norway with Arne Berg to Columbia with Phillip Seigenthaler and everywhere in between. The band returned to Austin in April to perform in front of an audience of 30,000 at the Austin Reggae Festival.

Louie Culture Foundation From Birth Tour April 2012 |
 Reggae Artist Louie Culture has garnered great success in the reggae community he is Gifted but humble, diminutive yet powerful, this successful artist on the reggae music scene has dedicated his life, his heart & his soul to reggae. Born in the lush environs of Winsor Forrest in Portland, Jamaica as Lewin Brown; Louie Culture remembers music being the focus of his attention from an early age. He involved himself at an early age in everything musical at school or in the community. Louie Culture enrolled school choir, concerts, sound system sessions and started writing his own songs at age eleven.
 Louie Culture thoroughly immersed himself in all that his community had to offer, and at age 17 he decided to moved to Kingston the heart of the reggae scene. Louie teamed up with Panasonic Sound System, working on a nightly basis. He became acclaim for his style of delivery and lyrics that poured in and around the country consciousness of injustice and inequality, this country boy was transformed into a spoke person for the poor to a rankin´ Kingston DJ. His vocals catches the attention so fame record and producer King Tubby who recorded Louie’s and Waynie Ranks’ Rat A Bad A Mi. The song garnered wide air play and was particularly popular in the Kingston dance halls, this was the beginning of a slow but increasingly fruitful period of growth and development.
 In 1992 Louie teamed up with top-ranking producers such as Dave Kelly, Colin ´Fatta’ York, Jack Scorpio, John-John (Jammy Jr.) and Bobby Digital. During these productive years, Louie Culture´s music took over the air waves and he had everyone singing along with songs like Tell Her Fi Move, O.P.P., Owner Fi De Man, Excellence, Rudie Don´t Fear, Your Name A Call, Original Look Good, Chat Dem A Chat, Live & Learn (with Wayne Wonder), clearly marking Louie Culture a performer of substance. Combination hits followed with Shine Your Light featuring Chrisinti,Tune In with Gregory Isaac and Grab Yu Lass and Come featuring Mikey Spice.
 Louie Culture has tour Japan, Europe and the United States; his tour in Japan resulted in sold-out crowds in Tokyo, Nagasaki and Osaka. His States side appearances also included a promotional tour of New York with stable mate Terror Fabulous, and yet another sold-out appearance on his first visit to St. Croix, V.I. Recordings for Dave Kelly continued with Bogus Badge, Revolution Song, No Gal, Before Dem Young and Malfunction. The massive hit Ganga Lee cemented his name on the international scene, reaching #1 in Jamaica, New York, London, Canada and the Caribbean. The Ganga Lee album produced by John John for VP Records in 1994 was exceedingly well received and created for Louie a huge underground following worldwide.
2004 marked the limited release of THE UPRISING on Reggae Central Records to critical acclaim but suffered from poor distribution. That wrong has been righted in 2010 with the digitally remastered release of THE UPRISING on Culture’s own Gangalee Music label, distributed by Zojak World Wide. Alive set recorded in London is also slated for release this month – LOUIE LIVE IN LONDON - with a brand new album to follow in August. Now fans worldwide can appreciate the tremendous growth of his lyrical creativity along with the strong vocal styles which distinguish Louie Culture as more than just a chanter, 2012 truly looks to be Louie Culture’s year to shine his light as fans can see him on the Foundation from Birth Tour 2012.

Soundtrack From Bob Marley Movie ‘MARLEY’ To Be Released On April 17, 2012 First-Ever Family Authorized Documentary On The Life Of Bob Marley In Theaters And On Demand In The U.S. April 20 |
The Third World’s first superstar and arguably the most recognizable human being on the planet, reggae giant BOB MARLEY is celebrated this year in a film by Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald (“One Day In September,” “State Of Play,” “The Last King Of Scotland,” “Touching The Void” and “Life In A Day”). MARLEY,whichreceived a rapturous reception at its premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on Feb 12, will open in U.S. theaters on April 20, 2012, with all VOD and digital platforms, through Wagner/Cuban Company’s Magnolia Pictures. Produced by Steve Bing (Shangri-La Entertainment) and Charles Steel (Cowboy Films), and executive produced by Bob’s son Ziggy Marley and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell, the film features stunning live performances, intimate interviews with friends and family, and rare documentary footage – all of which tells the definitive story of the superstar who rose from the ghetto to become one of the greats of popular music before dying tragically young at the height of his fame.
To this day, BOB MARLEY remains one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century. Accolades include a GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award (2001), multiple entries in the GRAMMY® Hall Of Fame, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1994), and the Hollywood Walk of Fame (2001). His lifestyle and music continues to inspire new generations as his legacy lives on with his catalog selling over 50 million albums worldwide since 1992 alone.
As an integral companion piece to this critically acclaimed documentary, the official soundtrack from MARLEY will be released through Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) on April 17, 2012, as a 2-CD collection and a special 3-LP vinyl set. TheCD contains 24 tracks, hand-picked by the Marley family and Chris Blackwell, gathering together some of the most significant musical moments of one of the most beloved and cherished artists of all-time. Featured are classic studio recordings, a special Kindred Spirit dub mix of “Exodus” and tracks from various live performances including, for the first time on record, the 1978 One Love Peace Concert performance of “Jammin’” during which Marley joined the hands of bitter political rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga, a gesture which went some way towards restoring peace to a strife-torn Jamaica.

“We live in a world of theophanies. Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary. There are burning bushes all around you. Every tree is full of angels. Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb. Life wants to lead you from crumbs to angels, but this can happen only if you are willing to unwrap the ordinary by staying with it long enough to harvest its treasure.”
-- Macrina Wiederkehr |

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. Your call?.. |
