Help Reggae loving Havasupai Tribe
|
Help preserve the cultural heritage of the Bob Marley loving Havasupai tribe at the bottom of the Grand Canyon through Kickstarter campaign with deadline of July 27th. Please support now if you can and help spread word!
The Havasupai tribe have been living in the Grand Canyon for over 800 years as a nomadic people in an area the size of Delaware. They hunted and gathered throughout the canyon and for the summer months farmed in the oasis of Supai. The Supai are known as the People of the Blue Green Waters. This is truly a majestic and magical land, where spring fed waters cascade into powerful waterfalls and tranquil streams. It creates an oasis which is fertile and full of wildlife and fauna surrounded by towering red canyon walls. In the past 100 years, with the intrusion of the American government, they have been limited to a small part of the canyon and rely mostly on tourism and farming.

 We are pleased to present the 2016 Reggae Festival Guide, totally digital and interactive with links to your favorite bands, music, products and festivals. We’ve put together a great collection of editorial for you – described below – as well as the festivals on this year’s calendar.
In “The Inspiration — Rastafari To The World!”, Groundation lyricist and frontman Harrison Stafford highlights his Rasta-mentary film Holding On To Jah, which details Haile Selassie’s 1966 visit to Jamaica and its lasting impact, and features thoughts from reggae luminaries such as Joseph Hill, U-Roy and others.
Steel Pulse has been one of the primary bearers of the reggae torch, keeping the original Rasta message strong. Dive into “Dreadtown — The Steel Pulse Story: Film Crowdfunding And Direct Support From The Fans” to learn more about the upcoming documentary film on this legendary band’s ethic and epic rise to worldwide acclaim.
From reggae business manuals, to a book with in-depth roots artist interviews, to a DVD about Rastafari, Chuck Foster returns with this latest installment of “Readings For Reasonings.”
Join us as we peer into the life, history and culture of Jamaica, Africa, reggae and Rastafari in “Cultural ViZions,”featuring visual artists Abba Yahudah, Jeffrey Samuels, André Jones a.k.a. Natty Rebel and Ras Elijah Tafari.
In “Roots Rock Rhythm — The Universal Heartbeat,” international yoga teacher Shiva Rea reflects upon some of the original heartbeat drum rhythms of reggae, and the transformational power the reggae beat has upon our hearts and souls.

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.
