2012's Musical Moments - January Through July

There were many moments in 2012 that, in years to come, will count as integral parts of Jamaican music history. Maybe some of those are moments the island that has produced probably the most and biggest music stars per capita will want to forget. But, for what it's worth, here are some of those moments. Look out for more in the days to come. 

Tony Rebel 

January 14

The 19th Rebel Salute festival is held at Port Kaiser Sports Club, St Elizabeth for, maybe the last time. Tarrus Riley, Queen Ifrica, Damian Marley and Capleton are among the many performers.

 

January 26

The Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival celebrates Jamaica's 50th anniversary of Independence with performances by Marcia Griffiths, Shaggy, Yellowman, Lloyd Parkes and We the People Band, Derrick Morgan, John Holt and Maxi Priest. Damian Marley is on the closing night, January 28.

2012's Musical Moments - July Through December 

Today, we continue looking at those moments that made 2012 a year to remember. The Gleaner began taking a look at those moments yesterday, ending on July 7. Here are a few more.  

Gregory Isaacs 

July 15

Gregory Isaacs' birthday is celebrated with a 'Hat Affair' concert in New Kingston, at which Cocoa Tea, George Nooks, U-Roy, John Holt, Luciano and many others perform.

 

July 19

Glendale 'Busy Signal' Gordon is extradited to the United States to face charges in Minnesota. The extradition was officially carried out a few minutes after 10 a.m. Busy had been involved in a narcotics offence, allegedly committed in 2002, and waived his rights to an extradition hearing and would only face charges of absconding bail.

Snoop Lion Releases Reggae Single ‘Here Comes the King’

If you, like me, thought Snoop Dogg’s transition to Rasta Snoop Lion was just a fad, I’d like to inform you that he is indeed serious. He has recruited Angela Hunte for the Major Lazer-produced “Here Comes the King.” Dare I say it’s pretty dope, too?

The reggae record appears on the expletive- and negative- free Reincarnated LP. When explaining why he chose the non-profanity route, Snoop Lion said: “That was the language that hip-hop communicates, but reggae music can articulate with different language, which is the language of love, struggle and peace at the same time.”

 

A documentary chronicling Snoop’s personal and spiritual evolution was filmed in Jamaica. As of today, the film doesn’t have a release date.

Matisyahu Releases New Song to Benefit Hurricane Victims

Matisyahu, the Jewish American reggae and alternative rock musician, recently released a new song for Hanukkah. All proceeds of the song, appropriately titled “Happy Hanukkah,” are being donated to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts through the end of the holiday.

 

“I am from New York and wanted to give back to my incredible community in the wake of Hurricane Sandy,” said Matisyahu. Donations from the song will continue to benefit The Jewish Federations of North America and The Robin Hood Foundation until the end of Hanukkah on Dec. 16.

 

Matisyahu, 33, was born Matthew Paul Miller in West Chester, Penn. In 1995, Matisyahu took part in a two month-long program at the Alexander Muss High School in Hod Hasharon, Israel, a program which offers students first-hand exploration of Jewish heritage as a way of solidifying Jewish identity. His experiences there led to his decision to adopt Orthodox Judaism.

 

At the age of 19, he formally joined the Lubavitch movement and took a Hebrew form of his name, Matisyahu, which means “Gift of G-d.” The singer subsequently forged a public image of himself as a devout Chasid who performed in concert in full Chassidic garb.

 

In June 2012, Matisyahu appeared in an online video to promote his new single “Sunshine” with his hair dyed blonde and appeared to be without a yarmulka, causing a big stir within the Jewish blogosphere. He similarly made waves late last year when he shaved his beard.

"You can never get to peace and inner security without first acknowledging all of the good things in your life. If you're forever wanting and longing for more without first appreciating things the way they are, you'll stay in discord."
