Reggae Report Celebrates 25 Years With the Launch of Backstage @ReggaeReport.com - An Exclusive Online Video Show
June 8, 2008, Miami, Florida� M. Peggy Quattro, publisher and founder of Reggae Report, announces the first episode � or webisode � of Backstage @ReggaeReport.com. The online video show was conceived early in 2007 while visiting friends on Mammee Bay, Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The picture-perfect water and tropical surroundings inspired Peggy to envision a beautiful setting where the story of reggae music could be told.
With more than 27 years in the reggae industry, Peggy has been writer, photographer, speaker, radio show host, and CD and concert producer. She has a commanding archive of stories, interviews and photographs to share with the world. When the increased printing and shipping costs forced the magazine to cease printing, Peggy looked to the Internet as the next frontier. She began ReggaeReport.com in 1999, offering the same news and information format as the magazine, without the expense and difficulty of collecting from distributors in 42 countries! With the Internet, Reggae Report has been able to reach more fans, in more countries, faster, and on a daily basis.
Back in Miami, Peggy had lunch with daughter, Arielle Grace Quattro, then a senior in TV production at the University of Central Florida, in Orlando, Florida. She shared her Jamaican vision, ideas and hopes to continue her role as a reggae innovator. Arielle, growing up in the world of reggae and publishing, was keenly aware of her mother�s passion. With reggae�s explosive growth on the world music scene and an abundance of music sites, Peggy knew she had to come up with something different. Together, they discussed the possibility of an Internet show. Combining Peggy�s history, contacts and access with Arielle�s training in both video and television production, as well as acting, they came up with the concept for Backstage @ReggaeReport.com!
The first webisode begins with coverage of the inaugural Reggae Academy Awards, held in Kingston, Jamaica, in February 2008. Peggy and Arielle converged on Kingston, setting up a studio at the hotel, shooting days of interviews, footage of the awards show, as well as capturing the flavor of downtown Kingston and New Kingston. The result is a three-part series that focuses on before, during and after the history-making awards show.
After gathering and logging the hours of tapes brought back from Jamaica, Arielle has edited an entertaining eight-minute online show, featuring stars, music and video that will surely capture the attention of global fans. As host, Arielle Grace brings beauty and poise to the small screen. M. Peggy Quattro speaks with award show nominees, performers and presenters in a casual, personal style that will have viewers feeling as if they are there.
As reggae reaches its 40th anniversary, there are many stories still left to be told. Reggae Report, always on the cutting edge, will be there to do its part � one webisode at a time.
Catch Backstage @ReggaeReport.com at www.ReggaeReport.com
ReggaeReport.com is a division of RRI Media Corp., a Miami, Florida-based company.

KASSAV TO PERFORM AT ST. KITTS MUSIC FESTIVAL
|
Kassav, the leading band to emerge from the formative years of Zouk music, will be among the premier acts performing at the 12th Annual St. Kitts Music Festival, which will take place from June 26-28, 2008.
Kassav was formed in 1979 by Pierre-Edouard D�cimus, a long-time professional musician. Working with Freddy Marshall, the two decided to take popular Carnival music and give it a more modern and polished style with a pan-Caribbean sound combining elements of komba, salsa and calypso music
The group�s first album, �Love and Ka Dance� released in 1980, is widely credited with establishing the sound of zouk music. Kassav has produced more than a dozen albums during their nearly 30-year career, the most recent being �All You Need is Zouk,� released in 2007.
Located in the northern Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, St. Kitts offers a diverse tourism product developed from the destination�s natural beauty, cultural heritage and rich history. The island�s stunning variety of tourism attractions include hiking through the tropical rainforest, riding the scenic railway that connects the island�s sugar plantations, touring Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, the only man-made UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Eastern Caribbean, and the more traditional vacation pastimes such as watersports, golf, shopping, tennis, gourmet dining, gaming at one of St. Kitts� two casinos or simply relaxing on one of the island�s sandy beaches. Guests can select from accommodations ranging from intimate plantation inns to larger hotels or resorts.

The Aggrolites will make their sonic big screen debut with song contributions to the upcoming Endless Bummer motion picture and CD soundtrack. The teen surf comedy, starring Matthew Lillard and Executive Produced by VWT�s Kevin Lyman, will feature Aggro renditions of The Specials' "Ghost Town" and Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie." Both �80s classics have been updated with The Aggrolites� signature dirty reggae style, and on "Pass the Dutchie," they are joined by legendary Jamaican DJ General Smiley of Michigan & Smiley fame.

ELENA REMINDS US ALL TO PRAY FOR PEACE
Aloha All ..
I hope that you take a moment to pray with me today.
Please pray with love and conviction.
And understand that if Peace doesn't start here in the hearts of you
and me, how can we ever expect it to come into the lives of people who
are being persecuted daily. How can we expect the people of a nation
that has been violated for thousands of years to find peace, if we here
in America, we who have all things imaginable, can't find it in our
hearts to be at Peace with our neighbor.
As
you go about your day of BBQ's and laughter, please pause... and say a
few words of Peace, speak of it to your neighbors, speak of it to your
loved ones... bask in the Freedom that is Yours...
Be Well & Be Safe....Elena
