TOOTS DROPS 'FLIP AND TWIST'
|
|
|
Toots and the Maytals' latest album Flip and Twist was digitally released two weeks ago as the reggae legend began his annual United States (US) spring tour to support the album. Toots will continue on to Europe, right after the US tour for his European summer tour between June and August.
Flip and Twist was released on Toots' own D&F Music label, supported by the William Morris Agency, and is available on iTunes and Amazon.com as well as on his own redesigned website at www.tootsandthemaytals.com.
Already number 20 on Amazon's International Best Sellers chart, Flip and Twist is ranked number 61 in the overall reggae category and number 68 in the Caribbean/Cuba category.
Legendary vocals
The self-produced album features Toots' legendary vocals and arrangements to deliver a diverse taste of R&B, funk, gospel, blues and country in his own inimitable style.
Toots was voted number 71 of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time in 2009 by Rolling Stone
magazine and is credited as the first artiste to use the word reggae in a song, naming the new sound in his 1968 Beverly's single Do the Reggae. Always in studio when not on tour, Toots has been busy producing other artistes for his D&F Music label with two duet singles scheduled for release this week - Sailing On with Lukie D of LUST, known for his unique vocals and passion for love songs, and Never You Change with up and coming artiste Chantelle Ernandez, which is from her upcoming debut album, also produced by Toots for D&F Music.

On June 18, 19, & 20, 2010 Mendocino county welcomes the 17th annual Sierra Nevada World Music Festival (SNWMF). Created as an annual summer solstice and world peace celebration, the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival has been called "life changing" for many of its regular attendees the majority of which come as campers, committing to a three-day bonanza for the senses. Its name originates from its original festival location in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The event takes place for the fifth consecutive year at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds in Boonville, CA.
This year's SNWMF lineup features some of music's greats in world, roots, vintage, dancehall, modern reggae and ska artists and sound system DJ's. Bands are scheduled in tandem on the two stages, and conclude with a fire dance performance on what is known as the Valley stage, a site that is built from the ground up in the Grandstand area of the fairgrounds. The show's varied offerings for children including music performers a parade, and opportunities for participation in free drum, dance, and yoga sessions throughout the weekend make it possible for cultural exploration on many levels.
The Village stage and Kidz Zone host Children's educational and multi-cultural entertainment. Sageman Drums workshops take place throughout the weekend and are open to all ages in the Drum Temple. There is a full program of activities designated for the younger generation with kid performers, Arts & Crafts projects are underway throughout the weekend and a daily Kids Parade that will be led by the wonderful Samba Stilt Circus, a troupe of stilt performers.
The festival hosts several non-profit organizations and a diverse of ethnic food vendors from Indian to Ethiopian as well as vegetarian and sustainable raw food vendors. Crafts in the international bazaar in the village area are curated to present a unique array of items from around the world and a zero waste initiative is vigorously pursued to manage the impact of the festival on the environment.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Baaba Maal, the great Senegalese World music superstar will make a rare West Coast appearance on SNWMF '10 as the Friday night headliner. Baaba Maal has had a long and varied career and his latest recording is entitled Television. In December 2009, Baaba attended the Climate Change summit in Copenhagen as the climate change ambassador for the Africa Talks Climate initiative.
Don Carlos is a reggae artist whose uplifting reggae music and countenance have inspired crowds for over a quarter century. Don was born and raised in one of the most deprived regions of Western Kingston, Jamaica, in a district notoriously known as Waterhouse, launching his singing career back in 1973 as one of the original members of the roots vocal group Black Uhuru. Since that time, he has been in demand as a solo artist on stages around the world. Don's latest release is entitled, Changes.
Barrington Levy is a driving force in reggae music and remains a perennial favorite and one of the most recognizable vocalists in reggae music history. His latest single, "Watch Dem" is a collaboration with rap legend Snoop Dogg and recent rap sensation Mims and it is a version of his song "Murderer" a classic tune with a strong warning against violence.
Alborosie, born Alberto D'Ascola is a reggae artist from Italy, who has resided in Kingston, Jamaica for the past decade. He moved to Jamaica to be close to reggae music's roots and Rastafari culture. There, he started working as a sound engineer and producer and collaborating with the legendary Specialist. Sierra Nevada marks his first summer reggae U.S. festival appearance. Alborosie is touring in celebration of his current release - Escape from Babylon to the Kingdom of Zion.
Presenting world music in its varied forms from bands that span the globe is a tradition the festival upholds each year, distinguishing it from any other outdoor festival in North America. As drummer and musical director of Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s band, Africa 70 from 1968 to 1979, Tony Allen was one of the primary co-founders of the genre of Afrobeat music. Fela once stated that, "without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat."
From New Zealand come Fat Freddy's Drop, a seven-piece band whose musical style has been characterized as any combination of dub, reggae, soul, jazz, rhythm and blues, and techno. Also on the bill are Toubab Krewe, an American instrumental band which fuses the music of Mali with American musical styles (particularly those of the Southern United States). Their new album is entitled: Live at the Orange Peel. From Northern California come Sambadá who preserve the authentic flavor of Brazil's samba tradition, mixing it with funk music, and from Senegal is Youssoupha Sidibe, a master kora player and mystic Sufi chanter.
And of Rubblebucket, someone once said that if "Brooklyn and New Orleans had a love child it would be conceived while listening to Rubblebucket." With female lead vocals and hard hitting grooves, festival-goers will hear why this group received the 2009 Boston Music Award for Live Act of the Year.
Adding to the hybrid mix are Rey Fresco, a group from Ventura, California that performs an eclectic mix of rock, reggae, world, soul and Latin music and features a 36 string arpa jarocha Veracruz harp as one of their lead instruments.
Each year the vintage reggae portion of the Sierra Nevada lineup is like another chapter in a "reggae hall of fame" presentation. This year the Soul Syndicate reunites as a group who were one of the '70's most in demand touring and recording groups. The festival will feature original members renowned bassist George "Fully" Fullwood, Tony Chin, original "flyers" style rhythm guitarist and Santa Davis, one of the world's most remarkable drummers.
The Skatalites, the original ska band come to SNWMF with close to forty years of instrumental firepower, along with Ken Boothe, an artist whose energy and evokes the soul singers of the '60's and Big Youth whose MC-style over classic rhythms set the stage for what is modern hip-hop.
Roots reggae's reigning queen Marcia Griffiths was part of the I-Threes, the harmony trio that supported Bob Marley. She has had an extensive career in her own right with the standard "Electric Slide" as part of her repertoire as well as several other reggae chart-toppers.
Johnny Clarke was the new life-blood of the Rockers reggae era, becoming one of Jamaica's biggest artists, inspiring his contemporaries and promoting the message of Rasta both with cultural messages and lovers refrains. His music fortified what is possibly the most crucial era of reggae, bringing songs like "Move out of Babylon," "Roots Natty Congo," "Rock With Me Baby," & "Get Up And Fight For Your Rights" to the massive.
As part of his group The Maytones, Vernon Maytone had his biggest hit with "Money Worries" that was featured on the film soundtrack: Rockers.
Prince Alla has had a career that spans over forty years, and has continued to be in demand in the digital era with roots reggae producers eager to record his unique melancholy singing tone and Rasta messaging.
A consistent principle of Sierra Nevada World Music Festival is the emphasis on the promotion of positive messages. This year the festival presents Playing For Change who've engaged audiences on screen via a PBS special and in the live setting in promotion of their non-profit foundation's release that features global matchings of street musicians and their mainstream counterparts. Playing For Change traveled around the world to places such as New Orleans, Barcelona, South Africa, India, Nepal, the Middle East and Ireland, and, using a mobile recording studio, had local musicians perform the same song, interpreted into their own style that and included contributions from artists such as Keb' Mo', Bono & Manu Chao.
Making their second appearance on the SNWMF stage are Rootz Underground, Jamaica's next generation of musicians whose star continues to rise and are on tour in celebration of their second studio album, Gravity. The group released a full length live recording as a free download that over 60,000 fans have received to date. The group employ a dynamic combination of a contemporary roots/rock sound, universal messages and energetic, compelling stage shows to go beyond a niche definition - reaching across reggae boundaries into pop music realms.
Also appearing are Ooklah the Moc from Hawaii, an American band with a huge following that play quality roots-reggae originals. And from Kansas City, comes Queen Makedah whose smoky vocals and roots stylings represent the healing properties of reggae music.
The culture of the soundsystem and the vibrant, prolific nature of Jamaica's reggae industry and music movement are explored each year at the festival through a wide array of recordings. This year when the sun goes down and the music on the two stages concludes, the fairgrounds' exhibition hall will be filled with the sounds of two of the world's greatest DJ sound systems including perennial SNWMF selector, Rory Gilligan of Kingston's Stone Love Movement and David Rodigan (SKY FM, BBC Radio) of the United Kingdom. Also mixing in the dancehall will be DJ Ras Kush representing the New York City soundsystem scene and Comanche High Power representing the Northern California reggae DJ community.

THE LIONS - Booked to Play UCLA’s JazzReggae Festival, Topanga Days Country Fair and Irie Reggae Festival
|
|
|
Supporting Ziggy Marley & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley
Release New Recordings
“The Lions band which consists of highly decorated musicians from Los Angeles, are one of the best homegrown roots reggae groups on circuit at the moment and they performed brilliantly as usual.”
– Talawah Journals (Ragga Muffins Festival 2010 review)
(May 19, 2010) Fresh from lending a hand at the Haiti Relief Concert in Los Angeles, supporting New Zealand’s buzz-worthy Fat Freddy’s Drop, and sharing the bill with Gregory Isaacs, The Mighty Diamonds and Tarrus Riley at the 29th Annual Ragga Muffins Festival, The Lions are gearing up for a busy spring and summer concert season.
The Lions will perform on two popular festivals this Memorial Day Weekend. Sunday, May 30 will bring the 37th Annual Topanga Days Country Fair in Topanga Canyon, CA where they’ll be joined by legends Ziggy Marley and The Meters Experience featuring Leo Nocentelli, among top local blues, rock and folk bands. Visit www.topangadays.com for details on this is three-day, family affair.
Then on Monday, May 31, “Reggae Day,” The Lions will have the honor of showcasing their roots-meets-dancehall style at the 24th Annual JazzReggae Festival in Los Angeles, alongside the popular combination of Nas & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Barrington Levy, Etana, Cham, among others. Held on UCLA’s Intramural Field, this massive event is expected to draw 30,000+ fans. More information on this festival, including on Sunday’s “Jam Day” is available at: http://jazzreggaefest.com/
Rounding out the summer will be the 2nd Annual Irie Reggae Festival in Long Beach, CA on Sunday, August 29. Headliners for this outdoor event on the bay include Beres Hammond, Culture featuring Kenyatta Hill, Inner Circle and Pato Banton, with the The Lions giving it a lively kick-start. Complete details on this two-day festival are available at: www.iriefest.net
Additional headlining and support slot shows for this summer will soon be added. In the meantime, for more Lions fixes, several members bring their DJ skills to Bar One in North Hollywood, CA every third Thursday of the month as part of Reggae On Wax Thursdays featuring The Lions Soundsystem as well as resident selectors DJ Fajitas and Man Like Devin from The Expanders. This is a free, 21+ event. www.bar1noho.com
Given the popularity of the last year’s 7” 45 vinyl single “This Generation” b/w “New Girl,” The Lions are now releasing the next two new original recordings. The combination of MC/actor Black Shakespeare and crooner Malik Moore shine once again on “Roll It ‘Round,” while singer/actor Alex Desert rides the rocksteady rhythm on “Pieces of a Man.” This vinyl will also be available in limited quantities on their Lions Bread label starting Memorial Day Weekend.
The Lions are Los Angeles’ premier all-star reggae band. The result of an impromptu recording session by some of the scene’s most soulful and notable musicians and singers, The Lions created grooves that went beyond Jamaican music by combining new and traditional rhythms, and dub mixing mastery with the global sounds of Ethiopia and Colombia. Their album Jungle Struttin’ was released on Ubiquity Records in 2008. With four vocalists backed by eight (and sometimes nine) musicians, their live set transcends any particular genre but is best described as a healthy mix of vocal and dub tracks, balancing classic reggae and soul cuts as well as new originals. The Lions have shared the stage with Gregory Isaacs, Sly & Robbie, Michael Rose, The Abyssinians, Tarrus Riley, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Antibalas, Hepcat, The Aggrolites, Bedouin Soundclash, Breakestra, Connie Price & the Keystones and Dengue Fever. The Lions repertoire has been heard on USA’s hit series Burn Notice (“Hot No Ho”, “Thin Man Skank,” “Givin Up Food For Jah”), the Funk Aid For Africa compilation (“Jungle Struttin’”) and the Box of Funq compilation (“Hot No Ho”).

THE 25th EPISODE OF NICHOLAS Da SILVA'S GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES 'DREAD AND ALIVE' FEATURING DREW MCINTOSH: JAMAICAN SUPER HERO
|
|
|
Dread & Alive....is an ongoing graphic novel series about Jamaican Super Hero Drew McIntosh. If you missed any episodes, click here to read:
Cudjoe interrupted her. “Let me have a look at her.”
Abba got up as Cudjoe crouched to one knee to have a closer look at the young girl.
“How are you feeling?” he asked the little girl.
To weak to answer, the little girl responded with a faint smile.
“Don’t you worry. Soon all your sufferin’ will be gone.”
Glancing back at Philip and Maria, Cudjoe gently placed his hand against the girl’s forehead and began to chant. As he continued to chant, the girl began to shake vehemently as if all the evil inside of her was being forced out. This continued for almost a minute as the little girl screamed in writhing pain. Suddenly, a calm fell over the girl and she lay motionless on the mattress. Whatever Cudjoe said, whatever Cudjoe did, seemed to work. To everyone’s surprise, the little girl then sat up in bed and began talking to Cudjoe as if nothing ever happen.
“Everything’s going to be fine,” Cudjoe smiled, touching the tip of the little girl’s nose.
Cudjoe turned to Abba. “You will watch over her ‘til morning comes?”
Abba rushed to Cudjoe’s side. “Yes, Cudjoe. As you wish.”
“My work is done here,” Cudjoe said, pushing himself up with his staff.
Without say another word, Cudjoe exited the hut.
“Nice to see you, Abba,” Philip said, following Cudjoe outside.
Maria, somewhat in a state of shock, waved goodbye and exit the hut.
Outside, the grieving mother approached Cudjoe in hopes of good news. Cudjoe calmly embraced the woman and spoke to her in a gentle voice.
“By morning, she’ll be fine. You should join her now. She’s going to need your love to make it through the night.”
The woman thanked Cudjoe before joining her daughter inside the hut. Maria, standing next to Philip with her arms folded, observed Cudjoe from a distance. She appeared to be in a state of disbelief, unable to comprehend what she just experienced,
She turned to Philip. “What just happened in there?”
Smiling, Philip put his right arm around her and proudly responded, “You’ve just witness the healing power of the Jamaican Maroons.”

The essential daily basics, right?

* Preserves: all jams and marmalades are vegan. AGAVE.
* Yeast extract (e.g. Marmite or Meridian) is a must

* Porridge: always a winner. Make as normal but with water, soya milk, rice milk or oat milk.
* Cooked breakfast: baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, vegan bacon and sausages

* Pancakes/waffles: replace the eggs with 1 tablespoon of oil, use self-raising flour and either soya milk or water - cholesterol free so suitable for everyone - and taste exactly like pancakes! Syrups and lemon etc are all vegan

Hotline: 916-607-6995
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Doors open at 9:00pm and the music starts at 9:30pm with opening performances from Soulcialites, Mr. Mention, MC Davy D, DJ Empress, I-Red, & DJ Wokstar. $20 advance tickets available at Harlows, the Beat Records or online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
Hailing from the Island of St Croix, Midnite is one of the most promising roots reggae bands of the millennium. They are vanguards of conscious reggae whose profound and innovative lyrics are sincere and deeply rooted. Their cd recordings and live performances will have reggae and non-reggae listeners open to the messages they bring.
Lead singer Vaughn Benjamin's electrifying voice seems an amalgamation of many great voices in reggae--soulful, chanting, edgy. Vaughn's potent lyrical style and his brother Ron's exquisite keyboards and musical directorship form the nucleus of this musical quintet. Midnite weaves the cultural lyrics of "old school" roots music with modern day experiences to create a unique listening encounter. Reggae - naked and raw is an apt description for Midnite's musical style, in which they forgo the frills of extensive remixes, overdubbing and other musical refinements.
Midnite explodes in live performances with sets that often exceed three hours. Their vigorous, weighty sound, driven by the punchy bass lines creates a vibe that penetrates straight to the heart. These epic musical communions have earned Midnite an enormous following throughout the roots community. This is especially true in St. Croix, Puerto Rico, Brazil, St. Louis and here on the West Coast where they have toured extensively.
By breaking all the rules, Midnite is setting a new standard. Armed with a firm foundation in Jah Rastafari, their natural talents, and a strong and uncompromising musical vision, Midnite champions a unique sound that is on the cutting edge of modern roots music.

SARAZINO BRINGS EXCITING AFRO-LATIN REGGAE PARTY GROOVES TO STAGES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA THIS SUMMER
|
|
|
|
“Ya Foy Tour” Begins June 17th - Dates Listed Below
“Simply good pop/rock and reggae songs with enough exoticism and class to stand out from the crowd.” – Allmusic.com
“A vibrant, bubbly mix of reggae, funk, hip-hop, even raï. It’s quite catchy!” – Pop Matters
"Reggae, but not quite like any reggae you’ve heard before (although some of Manu Chao’s music comes close). Relentlessly upbeat, totally cool." – Boston Herald
Download Press Release PDF
FREE DOWNLOAD - Ecos de Radio Iguana by Sarazino
MAY 2010 – Based in the high Andean mountains of Quito Ecuador, Sarazino is the brainchild of Lamine Fellah, a musician, songwriter and producer whose nomadic life is reflected in the multicultural influences in his songs. Fellah is a true child of a globalized world and Sarazino’s music draws on reggae, Latin and African grooves, Arabic music and catchy, international pop to create an upbeat celebration of the diverse world we all share.
This summer, Sarazino tours North America for the first time, performing at celebrated venues including San Francisco’s Stern Grove Festival, the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, and Montreal's Nuits d’Afrique as well as sharing bills with superstars such as Mos Def, Angélique Kidjo and the Skatalites.
Born in Constantine, Algeria, Fellah’s father was a diplomat who brought the family to live in Spain and Switzerland as well as the African countries of Burundi and Burkina Faso. The young Fellah was inspired by the music that surrounded him, from Spanish flamenco and North African raï, to Afrobeat and roots reggae. Fellah moved to Montreal for college and made the musically active Canadian city his home for fifteen years. His global travels eventually led him to Quito, Ecuador where he fell in love with Latin America and its music and decided to settle there to focus on recording and producing.
Ya Foy! (which means “no problem” in the Dioula language of West Africa), the acclaimed album that was released last year on Cumbancha Discovery, includes guest appearances by Jamaican reggae legend Toots Hibbert of Toots and the Maytals fame, as well as toaster Blanquito Man from the Latin ska/rock band King Chango. With a mix of African vocals, jamming electric guitar riffs, dancehall shout outs and fun, funky reggae Sarazino's musical mélange is a savory stew of catchy, upbeat songs that offer a soundtrack for a true world party.
