Capleton & The Prophecy Band - 2017 North American Tour - Interview
|
The following is an interview with Capleton from United Reggae by Angus Taylor on April 7, 2016. Capleton’s famously fearsome presence on stage couldn't be more distant when he arrives at Jimmy Cliff’s studio in Kingston for our interview. He has driven here on his own, without entourage. He greets us in the manner of the Bobo Ashanti mansion of Rastafari. “Greetings in the name of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I the First, Holy Emmanuel I Selassie I, Jah Rastafari.” He is dressed in one of his striking yellow stage outfits with red gold and green banding and matching shoes. He is genial and smiling throughout. Read full article

The Reggae on the River Experience: Music, Nature, Multimedia,
Non Profit Giving
|
The 33rd Reggae on the River presented as a fundraiser for the non-profit Mateel Community Center, takes place August 3-6th at French’s Camp in southern Humboldt county, 10 miles south of Garberville along the banks of the Eel river. After the epic rainfall this past winter, the river is in great health and the rainwater catchment installed in 2016 makes Reggae the first water neutral/positive event of its kind. During the festival, once the sun canopy is lifted on stage, 16x9 foot digital display walls and video projections enhance the sound experience for audience members. Internal bike and van shuttles are available onsite to move gear and festival goers to and from the festival bowl to campsites and late night activities. For campers, the festival allows the opportunity to work together toward global community building, creating connections that are local and global. Bring a new or used tool for Tools For Change a Mateel Community Center program that shares tools with villages in Burkina Faso. All of the food booths at the festival partner with non-profit organizations to donate a portion of their proceeds. To purchase 3 or 4 tickets, Premier camping and Ambassador passes which donate 10% towards global charities, visit website or call 707-923-3368. |

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.
