THE TIME HAS COME FOR A MARKETING PLAN FOR REGGAE MUSIC
from www.jamaicaobserver.com

Nobody can reasonably deny that this Bruce Golding-led government is not only cognisant of the importance of reggae music to the country, but is also willing to play a vital role in ensuring that Jamaica and Jamaicans benefit from this music that we have given the world. The proclamation earlier this year of February as Reggae Month - albeit there were those who said it was more like Marley Month - was a significant milestone in the history of reggae music and a turning point in the right direction.

We read with interest recent statements made by Prime Minister Bruce Golding on his visit to London while addressing a group of journalists. He noted that "the time has come for a comprehensive marketing plan for reggae music". The PM was responding to questions posed about the image of the music internationally, specifically as it related to the whole issue of homophobia. According to a Jamaica House release, Mr Golding said, "I think we have left ourselves exposed for a while, to the extent that our music has never been promoted and marketed in the way that tourism is. For example, whenever there is negativity in the marketplace that affects tourism, we have a strategy to address that. Reggae music is too important for us to allow it to become victim of the actions of the minority of artistes who have allowed their own passions to overflow to the extent that they could damage an entire industry.

"Why should we allow a Luciano or Beres Hammond to suffer and end up with their shows being affected because some artiste was here a week before who went on stage and said something he shouldn't have? We have to do some work to protect and preserve reggae as a medium and a genuine indigenous expression of Jamaican culture."

SIERRA NEVADA WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL - SUMMER SOLSTICE & WORLD PEACE CELEBRATION

GARY GREENE'S REVIEW OF UCLA JAZZREGGAE FEST IN LOS ANGELES
Photos and story by Gary Greene

The 22nd annual JazzReggae Festival at UCLA, CA, a weekend of PEACE - LOVE - and MUSIC, marks the beginning of the summer in So. California each year. This is the largest student run festival of ALL, and attracts up to 33,000 fun-loving reggae fans from all over California.

Sunday is noted as mainly Jazz day, however recently has crossed over to hip-hop artists, with the likes of the ROOTS, Immortal Tecnique, Goapele, and Dr Lonnie Smith, to The DOORS, John Densore and his Tribal JazzRoots Band.

Day 2, Memorial day, is REGGAE DAY: Folks fed at the international food market booths, and lots of arts and crafts, many sat out and basked in the warm L.A. sun, and simply escaped the troubles of the everyday politicalized pressures of daily life., This year's event featured two stages, a second stage while the main was in change, had local bands.

On the main stage, Reggae day started with REBELUTION, a band from Santa Barbara, who backs many talents that travel thru California. They were followed by a UCLA, local showcase for some student talent. Then up came SELENA SERRANO, from Belize, who did a first of 2 (yes, so good called back for a second) sets. She did some dancehall, to mild hip hop...and some soca rythyms...a treat... She is based in Miami...Next came PANGEA COLLECTIVE, a 10 piece band, backed with the bass player from KING SUNNY ADE, and his Lead Guitarist too...wonderful African dance rythyms, and the crowd went wild.The dancers really put on a show, and one could just feel the spirit...Next came ALAINE, she was simply wonderful, a psychologist, a teacher, and actress/songstress.."Sacrifice" her biggest hit was great, then she did an array of all familiar songs, she was wonderful, from Jamaica..Then came Stephen Marley, I like him the best, he energized the crowd, did a few of his dad's songs, No Woman, No Cry, Buffalo Soldier, Redemption...then the rest his, and he played for over an hour.. And Capleton, ended the day with Dancehall and live stage antics. A long day...ONE FINE DAY ... Cept I forgot to mention mr Vegas... who was pretty vibrant, and enticing to say the least, teasing all the ladies..

god bless,
gary

CHEF MAYRA: EATING TOO MANY ACIDIFYING FOODS CREATES AN ACID IMBALANCE
By eating a diet of 80% alkalizing foods, you�ll eliminate the production of excess acid in your body.

Microforms like bacteria, yeasts and fungi create acidic toxins in your body. Not only that, but they proliferate in an acidic body. So, not only do they �show-up� in an acidic body, they also pollute and further acidify your body. For this reason, it is important to cleanse & detoxify your body in order to jumpstart the process of balancing your pH.

By increasing your intake of alkaline-mineral rich water and alkaline supplements, you will replenish your body�s capacity to neutralize excess acids.

Eating a healthy diet plays a fundamental role in the process of pH balancing, there are a few things you can do to get a jumpstart:
1. Cleanse your body (colon, lymph, liver, kidneys).
2. Hydrate! Drink PLENTY of water... Especially alkaline water
3. Supplement your diet with alkalizing nutritional supplements

Fun Recipe for the day: CHILI TOFU PITAS
1 pkg. Tortillas or Pita Bread
1 small can Green Chilies (chopped)
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 pkg. extra firm Tofu (Nigari)<
1 tsp. Mexican Seasoning (Spice Hunter) <
2 tsp. dried Onion, OR � cup minced fresh Onion
� cup Soy Parmesan Cheese substitute
1 Tbs. fresh Cilantro
� tsp. Salt
1 jar or can Enchilada Sauce
3-4 Sun-dried Tomatoes for garnish
Avocado slices for garnish

Cut the pita bread into eight triangular pieces, like a pie. Mince the garlic in a food processor. Add the other ingredients, except the tofu, and process until finely chopped. Grate the tofu into the mix by first placing the grater attachment on the processor. Process until mixed (a few seconds). Open each pita triangle up so you can put the filling in. Spoon the filling into the pita triangles and place into a pie pan.

Add enchilada sauce inside over the filling mixture and over each pita on the outside as well. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Cut the avocado slices and sun-dried tomatoes to put on top for a garnish just before serving warm. YUM!

CHELSEA, ENGLAND FLOWER SHOW EMBRACES GREEN CAMOUFLAGE
photos by Keith Miller

"Now, this is what Chelsea is all about, some international flair �This is Barbados!" were the words overheard as the unidentified commentator of a wandering film crew came upon the Barbados Horticultural Society's display at the 2008 Chelsea Flower Show (England). He had no idea that "This is Barbados" was the actual title of the Barbados display but he knew he liked the modern, organic look and sound of the musician, David Kirton, combined with the myriad of flowers beautifully displayed to represent the varied landscapes ofBarbados.

Even before you can see any of the exhibits at Chelsea, you can smell the flowers and plants. At first it's a faint scent of fresh cut grass on the air, then comes the aroma of rolling fields, deep forests, damp moss, streams, flowers and ancient woods. Then, as soon as you walk into the giant marquee, your eyes are treated to a rainbow burst of every colour in nature's spectrum.

Amidst all of this carefully arranged, very secure, organized chaos walked two Rastafarian musicians, both dressed in long coats, each with a guitar slung over his shoulder. To say they stood out would be an understatement of the highest order. Film crews, radio reporters and journalists circled the perimeter to see what was going to happen this year at the Barbados display. Never before had there been a live singer performing at the Chelsea Flower Show, least of all a Rastafarian from the Caribbean - so this was big news.

David Kirton performed a selection of music from all three of his albums, including Green Camouflage, Time for change and Free to Fly, as well as several songs yet to be released.

The BBC, Australian Television, CNN, Architectural Digest, The Guardian and Sir George Martin (legendary producer of the Beatles) all took careful note, drawn by the music, flowers and personalities. At the end of the day Kirton was invited to do a live performance and interview on BBC radio at their on-site radio booth. This live broadcast was carried on numerous regional BBC radio stations as part of their Chelsea coverage.

David Kirton was accompanied by Andre Jonson, his musical director/lead guitarist from California. While in London, Kirton also enjoyed other successful showcases, BBC interviews and small club performances.

Since then he has recorded on his own and taken his reggae message to world locales from Canada and California to Egypt and England.
