Asante Amen Really is "Only Ras Tafari" |
 Armed with a new single called ‘Only Ras Tafari’ which is already receiving steady airplay in Jamaica and internationally, Asante Amen is expecting great things to happen for his career in 2013. ‘Only Ras Tafari’ was recorded for Street Kid Music Production headed by Norman ‘Street Kid’ Richards, who – along with Kamau Janai of Jahnai Productions - manages Asante Amen.
This latest single by Asante is a true reggae classic, capturing both the key ingredients of foundation reggae music and the crisp feel of modern roots reggae (listen here: Only Ras Tafari ). Give it a listen, like it and share it. Bless

Big Mountain Teams Up with Kickstarter for Exciting New CD Set |
Big Mountain, the internationally renowned reggae band that topped the charts with favorite hits such as “Baby I Love Your Way” and “Touch My Light” has teamed up with Kickstarter to produce an exceptional new 3-CD set of Big Mountain music. Fans and everyday good-hearted people that understand humanitarian-oriented projects are being asked to help by purchasing the forthcoming Big Mountain / Kickstarter 3-CD set. For more than 20 years the music group Big Mountain has donated their time to help others in need of food, clothing, education, medical care and financial aid. The table has turned and instead of Big Mountain helping other organizations, for the first time in the band’s history Big Mountain’s bandleaders are asking for others to financially help Big Mountain. Through Kickstarter.com, now you can be a part of the creative process and help finance the new Big Mountain album. It is very important that Big Mountain release a new CD for radio airplay and to start touring again. Big Mountain needs to generate large numbers of ticket sales so that they can effectively help raise capital, and also raise awareness for humanitarian organizations.

You are bigger than you think..... |
We are the ocean -- vast, deep, powerful and rich. Nourishing and nurturing. Dive down into the dark stillness of being. Sense the rising and falling of surface thoughts and emotions, sometimes gentle, sometimes violent. Always shifting. Always in motion. Draw back and watch the waves of your life at play. Know you are the unfathomable depths -- surface agitations can't disturb you. Know that you are bigger than the little things that aggravate you.

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.
