Letter From the Editor

Welcome to 2015 Happy New Year to one and all

Wow 2014 was a whirlwind year with the new magazine launching in January our first cover was none other than Protoje Issue two paid tribute to the Queens in the industry and Jah 9 was our cover artist We did a very cool 420 issue in April and highlighted the release of Ziggy Marleyrsquos lsquoFly Rastarsquo Maliika Walkerrsquos interview with Ziggy was included in that issue Fast forward to 2015 and in this current issue we have Shelah Moodyrsquos interview with Ziggy towards the end of the Fly Rasta tour and a Grammy nomination for the album on top of it

We will forever be grateful and humbled that we were able to pay tribute to the late great Lucky Dube in our July issue Working with TK and Nkulee Dube was a highlight for us and not to mention Lee Abelrsquos priceless photos of Lucky I think we made him proud

Konshens was on our September cover and we introduced artists such as Amlak Redsquare Kazam and Bugle just to name a few

Once again our last issue of the year paid homage to the female artists and the great Diana King graced the cover Our interview with Diana is so inspiring

So here we are with the first issue in 2015 The inaugural Welcome to JamRock Reggae Cruise was a complete hit and we have all of the photos to prove it We also covered the One Love Bob Marley Tribute at The Apollo Theater this past November We think you will like this issue

I would like to say Thank You to all of you who have supported us in our efforts We want to continue to bring you rich and provocative content in our magazine as well as on the website

Music Awards and Reggae

As usual the announcement of the nominees for the Reggae category of the GRAMMYS has caused the now familiar flurry of comments from members of the Reggae community and entertainment media The nominees for the 2014 Best Reggae Album category of the GRAMMYS are ldquoFly Rastardquo by Ziggy Marley ldquoFull Frequencyrdquo by Sean Paul ldquoBack on the Controlsrdquo by Lee ldquoScratchrdquo Perry ldquoThe Reggae Powerrdquo by Sly and Robbie amp Spicy Chocolate ldquoOut of Many One Musicrdquo by Shaggy and ldquoAmid the Noise and Hasterdquo by SOJA Already we have seen media reports and comments making mention of projects being omitted as well as various opinions expressed regarding the GRAMMYS One thing is for certain the GRAMMYS attract more attention and comments than any other music award and despite the criticisms it is clear that a GRAMMY win or nomination does mean something to artists

Music awards are a very important aspect of the international music industry It is therefore necessary for performers composers and producers of music as well as the media and management representatives who support their recordings to inform themselves and get involved in the music awards process A full understanding of the procedures by which entries are submitted nominations decided and winners selected is essential Without knowledge and active participation you will continue to be on the fringe either shouting from the galleries or making disgruntled comments

And how do the GRAMMYS work I would strongly recommend that readers of this article take a look at the web site for the Recording Academy which is the entity established for determining how entries are submitted and nominees and winners chosen The Recording Academy website is located at wwwgrammycom What is clear with the GRAMMYS is that performers producers songwriters managers and label executives need to become members of the

Academy to be able to have a say and to influence the process of selecting winners You are not required to be a citizen of the USA to become a member of the Academy

As far as the Jamaican and global Reggae music industry is concerned I think we need to come together to establish our own internationally recognized music awards that cater specifically to the Reggae music genre in much the same way as Hip Hop Country Latin and other genres have done

There are many models out there for music awards Some awards are developed by media entities such as MTV Billboard and BET and winners are determined by popularity through public voting participation The GRAMMYS are based on voting by persons from within the recording industry and is not based on chart success or record sales

There have been a number of awards that cater in varying degrees to the Jamaican and Reggae music community With the exception of the Honour awards presented annually by Jamaica Reggae Industry AssociationJaRIA no such award exists currently inside Jamaica The JaRIA Honour Awards are presented in February each year and recognizes the lifetime achievement of persons involved in Reggae It is not about current or recent releases or performances On the international level there is the Ephraim Martin promoted International Reggae and World Music AwardsIRAWMA originating out of Chicago As the name suggests IRAWMA caters to Reggae Soca and World Beat music It is not specific to Reggae

In 2008 the Recording Industry Association of Jamaica took a bold step in establishing the Reggae Academy with a view to developing an international music award specifically dedicated to Reggae and Dancehall

The Reggae Academy was designed based on the Recording AcademyGRAMMY model with membership open to vocalists songwriters music producers recording engineers music video producers agents label executives managers and media representatives from around the world involved in the Reggae recording business The Reggae Academy Awards were successfully staged in February 2008 in Kingston Its presentation also facilitated the declaration of the month of February as Reggae Month by then Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding and Governor General Hall

The Reggae Academy Awards 2008 was hailed by many as the best music award show ever presented for reggae Inadequate sponsorship support and disagreements between key individuals within the Academy administration and the wider Jamaican reggae community have caused the Reggae Academy Awards to be placed on pause As long as reggae artists music producers labels managers and media representatives remain unwilling to unite and cooperate in establishing their own international awards and as long as they remain non-members of the GRAMMY Academy then they should stop talking and accept what they get

Ziggy Marley-

Life on Mars

ldquoI donrsquot want to escape to the moonEven if the world went boomI just want to be with youand do the right things to yourdquomdash Ziggy Marley ldquoI Donrsquot Wanna Live on Marsrdquo

Donrsquot let lead track on Ziggy Marleyrsquos fifth solo album ldquoFly Rastardquo fool you

ldquoI Donrsquot Wanna Live on Marsrdquo has nothing to do with him being the first Rasta on the Red Planet As the Grammy winning singersongwritermusicianproducer confirmed during a recent interview ldquoI Donrsquot Wanna Live on Marsrdquo is actually a love song for Mother Earth

ldquoI wrote that song with the environment in mind but I didnrsquot wanna sound too preachyrdquo said the eldest son of reggae icon Bob Marley and singer Rita Marley ldquoSo I found a way to talk about (protecting the earth) in a way that was not preaching or promoting any kind of ideology The earth represents an entity that I love and I am saying that I would never leave the earth for any other entity I speak of the earth as a woman and I wouldnrsquot leave her for any other womanrdquo

ldquoEven if the world went boomrdquo

ldquoIrsquom still sticking with herrdquo

On Nov 6 2014 the city of San Francisco is beaming with civic pride and bathed in orange and black hues a week after the Giants won the World Series for the third time in five years As Marleyrsquos ldquoFly Rastardquo tour wraps up in California the seasons are transitioning from Indian summer to mid-autumn and the weather in the Bay Area is less conducive to an evening stroll and more suited for rushing inside from the cold

We met with David ldquoZiggyrdquo Marley for our interview after sound check at San Franciscorsquos historic Fillmore Theater Marley who turned 46 on Oct 17 and spent his birthday performing in Atlanta is currently one of the most in demand artists on the touring circuit and next to his iconic father hersquos arguably the worldrsquos most recognized reggae artist

The Fillmore the house that Bill Graham built in the late sixties still has its signature Dead Head charm you get a shiny red apple on the way in and a commemorative poster on the way out Every time he plays the Fillmore Marley plays to a packed house and each time it seems a new legion of fans

Backstage in his dressing room the Fly Rasta is bundled in a black puff jacket He puts away his electric guitar and settles on a leather couch that has probably hosted some of the most famous derrieres in rock hip hop and RampB

We discuss the video for ldquoI Donrsquot Wanna Live on Marsrdquo ndashthe first music video to feature his familymdashhis wife Orly daughter Judah and sons Gideon and Abraham It was shot as Marley explained somewhere in a barren stretch of the California desert The video has a sci-fi motif and yoursquove gotta admit Marley and Judah do look kinda fly in their white space suits

ldquoThe idea behind the video is that itrsquos actually earth that wersquore on not Marsrdquo said Marley ldquoIf we donrsquot correct the direction that we are headed in now thatrsquos what the earth will look like In the video Irsquom searching for surviving plants and trying to replenish the earth with plantsrdquo

During our conversation I compliment Marley on a beautiful classically inspired cover of ldquoI Donrsquot Wanna Live on Marsrdquo that I saw on YouTube It is performed by the children of the Silverlake Conservatory of

Music a non-profit founded by Michael ldquoFleardquo Balzary and Keith ldquoTreerdquo Barry of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Los Angeles CA I asked how this unique production came about

ldquoSomeone liked the song and performed it and sent it to usrdquo said Marley ldquoIt just came about We always like to show how the song lives beyond me itrsquos about everyone else and how they feel about the music and if they interpret the music I always appreciate it Thatrsquos how the music is supposed to liverdquo

On that note I asked Marley about the possibility of a classical production in the future perhaps a ldquoZiggy Marley with Stringsrdquo concert at the Hollywood Bowl

ldquoOh yeah mon we should do thatrdquo Marley laughs ldquoIrsquom open- minded so anything is possiblerdquo

Although the title is indicative of flight and ascension Marley explained in his ldquoMaking of Fly Rastardquo video that many of the songs on the album such as ldquoMoving Forwardrdquo ldquoI Get Uprdquo and ldquoSunshinerdquo are motivational songs about overcoming obstacles Indeed Marley has overcome his own set of obstacles transcending the boundaries of race nationality and musical genremdashhis world has reached far beyond reggae He and his wife Orly have built a Tuff Gong Worldwide empire which includes a Ziggy Marley line of clothing film and books His line of non-GMO foods Ziggy Marley Organics includes a line of cooking products such as flavored coconut oil and roasted hemp seeds

ldquoTry the Caribbean Crunchrdquo he says

As part of the third generation Ziggyrsquos eldest son Daniel ldquoBamrdquo Marley and his nephew Jo Mersa Marley (son of Stephen) who used to rap sing and dance with Ziggy and the Melody Makers as children are now touring and recording independently and continuing the Marley legacy of making conscious music

ldquoPlay I on the RampB ndash wo-oh Want all my people to see

Wersquore bubblinrsquo on the Top 100 just like a mighty dreadrdquomdashBob Marley Roots Rock Reggae

In 2013 Marley made history by performing a tribute to Bob Marley with the likes of Sting Rihanna Bruno Mars and his brother Damian ldquoJr Gongrdquo Marley (also a multiple Grammy winner) at the 55th annual Grammy Awards telecast at the Staples Center in Los Angeles

Fly Rasta is a soulful mix of contemporary reggae rock blues African rock and folk musicmdasha meacutelange that the artists refers to as ldquoZiggy Musicrdquo In January 2014 Marley won the Grammy (Best Reggae Album) for his live recordingldquoZiggy Marley in Concertrdquo On Dec 5 2014 it was announced that ldquoFly Rastardquo received a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album One of the most provocative tracks on ldquoFly Rastardquo is ldquoYoursquore My Yokordquo which is ldquoLivicatedrdquo to his wife and Tuff Gong Worldwidersquos CEO Orly Marley as well as an homage to the Beatles

ldquoThe song is correlated to the relationship that Irsquove heard about between John Lennon and Yoko Onordquo said Marley ldquoRelationships can play an important role in artistic expression because love is one of the most basic artistic expressions there is Open-mindedness and finding ways of expressing yourselfndashif you have the right partnerndashembellishes it and makes it grow more I feel that it was something that I could

relate to after understanding Lennon and Onorsquos relationship and how when they met (Lennon) got into a whole different kind of vibe I can relate to thatrdquo

The alternative rock flavored ballad ldquoLighthouserdquo which Marley co-wrote with Sam Martin is also somewhat Beatlesque and was a favorite on the ldquoFly Rastardquo tour

ldquoIrsquom holding up the firelighting up the skylike a lighthouse on the oceanbring you home alrightrdquondash Ziggy Marley ldquoLighthouserdquo

ldquoLighthouserdquo is a nice song itrsquos a very personal songrdquo said Marley ldquoI think the song has yet to be fully defined ldquoItrsquos a little mysteriousrdquo

I first interviewed Ziggy Marley on a warm October afternoon in 1988 on the ldquoConscious Partyrdquo tour with the Melody Makers (which included his siblings Stephen Cedella Sharon and backing vocalist Rica Newell) at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu HI The story was published in our college newspaper ldquoKa Leo O Hawaiirdquo (ldquoVoice of Hawaiirsquo)

The 19-year-old star was unpretentious wearing worn sneakers baggy corduroys a white T-shirt emblazoned with the African continent and shoulder length dreads He had dark gentle eyes an ebullient smile like his fatherrsquos and his boyish face boasted a slight mustache and goatee

ldquoConscious Partyrdquo one of my top ten favorite albums Conscious Party produced by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads went on to win a Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 1989

ldquoThe theme of the album and the other albums that we have put out is that in everything you

do is the truthrdquo Marley said ldquoThat is the only way to succeedmdashif what we are doinrsquo is the truth With falseness and negativity there is no successrdquo

ldquoConscious lyrics can be danced tordquo Marley continued ldquoYou can have fun and you can have a party with conscious musicrdquo

Fast-forward to 2014 Marley is still keeping people dancing to conscious music in an age of social media Marley takes an active role on his Facebook Instagram and Twitter pages posting his milestones and reflections on life after his shows or during down time And yes he does read the comments from his followers

ldquoBack in the days we never had a connection to our fans we relied on popular mediardquo said Marley ldquoNow we can reach out to them Itrsquos very good very important and very beneficial for me to understand my fans better and for my fans to understand me betterrdquo

At the moment Marley said that he has no desire to contribute to the growing pool of celebrity autobiographies ldquoEh my music is my bookrdquo he said

Like ldquoFly Rastardquo most of Marleyrsquos solo albums as well as his past albums with the Melody Makers allude to the concept of repatriation or returning spiritually and mentally to the Motherland Incidentally his mother Rita Marley is a citizen of Ghana and now holds the title of Nana Afua Adobea (Queen of Development) in the South-eastern Akwapim Region of Ghana

The Fillmore show literally ended in Africa As drummer Carlton ldquoSantardquo Davis (drums) Ian ldquoBeezyrdquo Coleman (guitar) Rock Deadrick (percussion) and Pablo Stennett (bass) held down the rhythm section backing vocalists Tracy Hazzard and Chantelle Ernandez performed African dances during the intro to ldquoConscious Partyrdquo During ldquoLook Whorsquos Dancingrdquo the spirit overtook Marley as he interpreted the story on the djembe a West African hand drum Marley had literally taken flight After the show longtime Ziggy aficionados would describe it as one of his finest performances

I asked Marley about his plans after the ldquoFly Rastardquo tour wrapped up

ldquoAfter the tour is over Irsquom going to take care of my compost pilerdquo said Marley ldquoGet the land ready fe plant some food next season Relax spend some time with the children Write some more songs Get ready for another record and LIVErdquo

The 1st Annual Welcome to Jamrock Cruise A Personal

Reflection


Issue 07 JanuaryFebruary 2015 wwwisland-stagecomPAGE22

Article By Maliika Walker

Photos copy Reggae Reflection

I remember exactly what my first thought was when I woke up on October 20 2014 the 1st annual Welcome to Jamrock Cruise is going to be the best experience I have ever had in my life The thirteen month countdown was officially over for those lucky enough to secure a ticket on the 1st annual Welcome to Jamrock Cruise a cruise that sold out one year in advance Put that in perspective for a minute The WTJRC was announced last fall it was sold out one year before we set sail I knew this was an epic event for reggae music The very moment I boarded the ship was a first for me I was just delirious with excitement that my first ever cruise was going to be a Reggae cruise I had no idea what an amazing adventure was in store for me

Once my friends and I boarded the Norwegian Pearl we were met with nothing but smiling faces from the passengers and crew alike All anyone was thinking was letrsquos hurry up and make sure we make it to the lsquoSail Awayrsquo Party I overheard one passenger ask what on earth is a lsquoSail Away Partyrsquo Well we found out quickly enough The speakers began blaring Reggae music as soon as we pushed away from the dock The 12th floor deck pool area quickly filled with passengers as we all greeted each other danced to the music and just began to have the time of our lives Damian Marley our host and reason for being on this epic adventure welcomed all of us to the cruise as we departed the dock in Miami The atmosphere at the lsquoSail Away Partyrsquo was nothing but positive vibes The artists DJs passengers and crew were smiling and spreading positive energy While walking back to my cabin to freshen up I ran into none other than Cham and his lovely wife Ms lsquoOrsquo That was another welcome element to the cruise The artists were walking among us You were bound to

run into one of your favorite artists on the cruise and when you did it was usually a positive experience

The first night of performances arrived and Black Am I was the first artist to hit the stage introducing us to the pure fiyah performances that were to come He performed select singles from his catalog that raised the energy of the crowd Julian Marley followed with a performance style reminiscent of his father Julian electrified the crowd with songs from both his and his fatherrsquos catalog Some of the songs in Julianrsquos set list included Harder Dayz Lion in the Morning Rastaman Vibration and of course Boom Draw Damian Marley closed out the first night with an electrifying set that included songs from his extensive catalog including some songs from Distant Relatives - a collaborative album with hip hop artist Nas Damianrsquos set list included Justice Beautiful Make it Bun Dem Dispear and Land of Promise Stephen ldquoRaggardquo Marley also joined his brother on stage to perform some of the killer duets which included The Mission Of course Damian performed his smash hit Welcome to Jamrock which of course received a rousing ovation from the audience The evening was not over once the performances ended The sound systems set up shop around the ship as the boat shook with blazing Reggae music until 4AM It didnrsquot matter where you were you heard the sound systems everywhere on the ship The party continued with the sound systems including the great David Rodigan Mighty Crown and Shineheadrsquos Kingston 12 Each played great Reggae from different parts of the ship The party was not just in the lounges with the sound systems passengers were having a great time all over the boat Some people hung out on the many decks on the ship or had small parties in their room The general theme of this cruise was no one was going to sleep until at least 4AM

Now you would think that people may have slept in

the next day however that was not the case

We were at sea on day 2 and the decks and dining rooms were packed before 12 noon with people ready for whatever was in store for the day The day party started and people were dancing and just enjoying themselves All nationalities and ages were represented on WTJRC One of the great things about being at sea is you had a chance to meet fellow passengers The evening brought out some interesting characters My friends and I met one man walking around the deck in his wifersquos dress as a joke It turns out his wife was asleep in their room due to non-stop partying and he just couldnrsquot resist doing something crazy He wasnrsquot alone we all partied with him and had a good time The second night of performances brought The Wailing Souls Tarrus Riley and Shaggy The Wailing Souls opened with a set filled with their classics leaving the audience mesmerized and wanting more Tarrus Riley blazed through his performance of Shersquos Royal Beware and the Michael Jackson remake of Human Nature Shaggy closed the evening on his earthstrong night and left the stage on fire David Rodigan and Rory Stone Love kept the party going until the wee hours of the morning which included suprise late night freesyle performances by Damian Marley and Shaggy You just never knew what was going to happen during the sound system set Every night something amazing happened

We docked at the port in Montego Bay on our third day of the cruise I couldnrsquot wait to set foot in Jamaica once again I honestly believe in the lyrics of the great Bob Marleyrsquos song ldquoThere is a natural mystic blowing through the airrdquo While traveling to our scheduled excursion in Ocho Rios I couldnrsquot help looking out the window to watch people going about their day The natural beauty of Jamaica is always front and center to me the ocean that surrounds the island and the breathtaking mountains gives you the feeling that you are in a special place While at Margaritaville I ran into some fellow cruisers who couldnrsquot wait to witness that eveningrsquos live entertainment Everyone knew the eveningrsquos entertainment lineup included a few artists who are not currently allowed to perform in the US - namely Busy Signal Bounty Killer and Jah Cure Jah Cure has never played a date in the US and a woman I spoke to mentioned that she practically begged her husband to let her come on the trip because Jah Cure was on the lineup My friends and I couldnrsquot wait to get a good position to witness a night of magical performances The evening was kicked off by the beautiful Etana The leading Roots Reggae Empress led the crowd through a set that served notice to the brilliant album I Rise that was to be released in just one weekrsquos time The crowd embraced every lyric and movement as Etana performed a beautiful set Busy Signal performed next and the audience was on their feet The crowd danced along to the rhythms of the music as Busy performed a set that everyone would remember

The next performer of the evening was a special one for my friends and I We were elated the moment Jah Curersquos addition to the lineup was announced Once Jah Cure set foot on stage my entire section on the pool deck erupted in celebration This was the first time most people from the US saw Jah Cure in person One woman next to me screamed so loud my ear drums begged me to find another place to watch the show but I was captivated by the music Jah Cure gifted the audience with a set that included his hits Longing For Sticky and True Reflections It is impossible to not feel each lyric being expressed by the artist many refer to as The Cure his voice pierces through you

I happened to be backstage preparing to interview Jah Cure while Bounty Killer set fiyah to the stage Bounty Killer closed out the evening with a plethora of tunes from his early days in dancehall to present The crowd didnrsquot miss a beat in singing every song and listening to the artist chant about the realities of ghetto life in Kingston Jamaica



Damian Marley joined Bounty Killer on the song Khaki Suit a hit track from his classic album Welcome to Jamrock

The sound systems once again came alive with Shinehead Stone Love and Bambino partying well past 4 AM

On day 4 prior to our arrival in Ocho Rios we watched the sunrise in complete silence as it rose over the Caribbean sea It made me feel like I was in paradise feeling a natural high that I hope many get the chance to experience

Wayne Marshall set the stage for the evening with selections from his recent album True Colors Damian Marley made his first appearance of the evening as he joined the dancehall veteran for their hit song Go Hard Cham followed with a red-hot performance that held the audiencersquos attention from the moment he set foot on the stage Chamrsquos wife dancehall artist Ms lsquoOrsquo joined him onstage and the two kept the energy going A group of cruisers I met that evening commented that they had never heard of Cham before that night but couldnrsquot wait to get their hands on Lawless merchandise the following day Damian Marley joined Cham on their smash hit Fighter

Dancehall star Sean Paul closed out the night with a set that included hit after hit after hit including Gimme the Light Damian Marley once again hit the stage this time joining Sean Paul on their song Riot The Sound systems Mighty Crown Renaissance Diva Nikki Z and DJ Norie took over until the wee hours of the morning Sleep was clearly forbidden on this cruise

Some people felt they were going to sleep in on Day 5 but the main cafeteria didnrsquot reflect that the next morning The morning buffet was packed with cruisers

eager to enjoy their last day on this epic journey One woman I spoke with noted that she would sleep the next day in her hotel She couldnrsquot bear going to sleep and risk missing something and I actually felt the same way

Before I knew it it was the afternoon and the main pool deck was packed with people listening to great Reggae Music Some people were relaxing in the pool some were tanning on the decks or just making sure they met as many people as possible A few people approached me that day just to say hello and chat about the fun we were all having One couple mentioned they feel so connected with everyone on the ship We were all experiencing history a five day reggae party on the ocean filled with nothing but music and positive vibes with over 2000 of our closest friends I made a note to just walk around on the boat and observe the people on board I noticed a group of complete strangers taking pictures with one another just so they could remember each other the following year

The final evening came way too fast All week we had great weather despite forecasts to the contrary but as we drew closer to Miami rain became an unwelcome visitor Some sets were cut short and the evening appeared disrupted as a whole Jo Mersa and Christopher Ellis performed some of their hits but rain forced them off stage Morgan Heritage was able to get in a set of their hits which included some selections from their release Here Come the Kings Stephen Marley did step foot on stage to close out the evening but rain again came and abruptly ended our time on the pool deck An announcement was made that Stephen would be performing in the Atrium area inside of the ship and we all ran there You couldnrsquot move a muscle but those who attended that final show witnessed an EPIC jam session Accompanying Stephen were Damian Julian and Jo Mersa Marley Sean Paul Morgan Heritage Wayne Marshall Cham Shinehead Illestr8 JBoog Rica Newell Super-Nat and Christopher Ellis It would have been great to see Stephenrsquos band perform live but the final freestyle performance was the perfect conclusion to an epic adventure

During the final performance Damian stated the following

ldquoThank you all very much It may mean something to you but it means even more to us We give thanks to each and every one of you for making our dreams come truerdquo

No Damian thank you Your vision brought people together from 42 countries around the globe I met people from such countries as China Italy Germany Canada and Trinidad you name the country and chances are a representative of that country was there It was a beautiful feeling to see a true representation of One Love as people greeted one another and we realized we shared a common bond that will forever link us We were the inaugural passengers on this historic cruise We experienced five days of non-stop Reggae music I am already booked and confirmed for the next celebration I hope to see you on the 2015 Welcome to JamRock Reggae Cruise the best punky reggae party in the world

Etana = The Strong One That is the meaning of her name The Strong One When I think of Etana reflections of strength beauty and courage come to mind That is the image many of us have of her Album after album show after show Etana has shared her heart and soul with us through her music

Etana recently released one of the yearrsquos most anticipated albums I Rise The album was produced by Clive Hunt whose credits include such great artists as The Rolling Stones Peter Tosh Stevie Wonder and Jimmy Cliff This album features roots reggae at its finest and includes covers of such classics as Selassie is the Chapel by The Wailers and Stepping out of Babylon by Marcia Griffiths I am always amazed by the inspiration Etana shares with all of us through her music She also challenges all of us and this album is no exception On the song Trigger she challenges us to open our minds and not to judge Sure people make mistakes in life but she challenges us to think about the circumstances that may lead a person to make that mistake One of my personal favorites from the album includes the title track I Rise We sometimes have our trials and tribulations but when we wake up the next day itrsquos a chance for a new beginning Do yourself a favor and check out I Rise today

Island Stage recently caught up with Etana during the Welcome to Jamrock Cruise and discussed her new album her clothing and healthbeauty products and her thoughts on Babylon vs Zion among other things Here is our conversation

How did it feel when you found out you were the first woman in 17 years to top the US Billboard Reggae Album Charts What an amazing achievement Congratulations

Etana Thank you so much I had no idea that it was true and I was kind of shocked I was wondering like why so long At first I thought maybe female artists just werenrsquot being supported as much as they should have been Then I looked at myself and reflected that I didnrsquot know a lot of things that I know now Maybe I could say that I wasnrsquot working as hard as I should have been I am very proud of the achievement but




couldnrsquot help wondering why so long for a woman to reach the top of the chart again

What was it like to record your album I Rise with Clive Hunt as Producer

Etana Well I know that Clive Hunt was very talented and that hersquos been around for a while in reggae music I never knew that he loved the music that much to the point where he would reproduce a song until he thought that it was complete He wouldnrsquot throw some songs or some tracks together he went all the way to the top with every musician and even the young ones too If something wasnrsquot played right or he thought that someone could do a better job he would actually erase the whole track I donrsquot know how he did it All the musicians and engineers were busy people but they all came back and did it each time that he called

You remade one of my favorite songs from The Wailers Selassie is the Chapel What inspired your decision to record your remake of this classic song

Etana It has been an intro to my shows since 2007 Some people would usually ask me ldquoWhy donrsquot you record that songrdquo So I decided to record the song as a full introduction of the whole album like a prayer really

Irsquom excited about your new album I Rise As you look at your album what type of message did you want the audience to receive from it

Etana Every day when you go through any kind of struggle any kind of negative energy you get up the next day and you start again Start again with a more positive side on a positive note And you fight you build you grow I rise everyday with the faith will and the love to keep going

Whenever I look at your album cover I honestly think about Maya Angeloursquos great poem and I Rise

Etana This song was written one month before she passed

A movie director asked me to write a song about a woman who was struggling to find her way But instead I thought of all the powerful women that I know whorsquove been through a lot yet they continue While writing the song I thought about Maya Angelou Oprah Nina Simone even Miriam Makeba I also thought of myself And then I put it on paper

Thank you for sharing that with us One of the songs I love from the new album is the song Trigger I was actually robbed at gunpoint so when I was actually listening to this song I realized I was one of those people that the song may have been directed to

Etana To not be judgmental as soon as you see a person you canrsquot just read the book by the cover Let it go because that young person has a heart they have a mind and they have feelings like me and you You never know what theyrsquore going through and yoursquoll never know if you never experienced some of the same things that they have You probably could relate

Okay letrsquos discuss your other businesses I love your clothing line

Etana Thank you

I am curious Why get into fashion

Etana Because when I travel all over the world people usually ask me where did you get that skirt Okay donrsquot tell me where you got the skirt tell me where you got the fabric and Irsquoll make the skirt And I figured that there are so many young seamstresses including a young family member of mine whorsquos wicked at sewing However opportunities are not so much in Jamaica So I decided Irsquod have people in Jamaica sew the line create employment for them And then take it to the rest of the world

Now you donrsquot just sell dresses and apparel I also noticed you sell other things like jewelry and health products



Etana Well first of all I believe that women love to be beautiful We love to see our skin glow I know that you have to work on feeling beautiful from the inside out On the outside I can help you with that with the shea butter the coconut oil and coconut milk I can help you with all the good stuff for your skin that would actually help you to clean your pores take away liver spots dryness and Eczema All of those things that help smooth out your skin is what my company focuses on Thatrsquos what Irsquom into because I love to see the natural skin glow I feel really good about that

I love the line and the possibilities of success in the future I definitely feel your success as an entrepreneur can help inspire other women to follow their passion

Etana I continue to encourage every other woman Live your life and be free Be happy doing you Thatrsquos the only thing Irsquom doing what feels natural to me the best way that I can I am happy to share clothing health products stories our lives Thatrsquos what Irsquom about

I wanted you to talk about as a Rasta woman how would you define Babylon versus Zion I have spoken to a few Rasta recording artists and Irsquom intrigued with the individual perspective you all have to this question

Etana Negative like how people say therersquos a hell I donrsquot believe there is a hell I would associate Babylon system as a negative system Babylon is like hell a negative society negative people Babylon in any case is an ancient system A sytem that makes you feel as though your life gets taken over by a set of people you donrsquot know One where you feel not in control of your own steps before you eat the water you bathe with stuff like that the whole negative system

Zion is a spiritual high Not gold floor and honey and milk like I was taught back in the days in Christianity Itrsquos important that we get as close to unconditional love as possible and to peace of mind spirit body and soul Zion is being mentally and spiritually in a positive place overstanding everything copy Reggae Reflection



in and around you Being aware of your spirituality and surroundings as well as being able to find that balance Zion is wisdom spiritual strength and knowledge Sometimes people look outside of themselves for this place but stay reminded itrsquos a mental and spiritual space and when you are there you will see Zion in everything you do in everything you are

How do you feel Empress Menen is viewed by the Rastafari community at large I spoke to a few women and they feel that her presence isnrsquot respected as it should be

Etana But you know why It was not until the 40s that women were allowed to vote Thatrsquos not so long ago Irsquom not too happy about it at all - but I think wersquore getting there itrsquos 2014 I think that women have come a long way but we still have a long way to go We now have the mindset to go out there and say what we believe in and demand the respect we deserve But wersquove still got a long way to go and that is why that Empress Menen is not too much talked about She probably couldnrsquot speak much Think about it

What advice or encouragement would you give to young girls all over the world especially in Jamaica who are just trying to make it for themselves in this world

Etana Well I would ask if they knew when they were going to die today what would they do I would definitely ask that and if they should dig deep inside where do they think their passion really lies Then I just say to do that Do that every day until you get it as close to perfection as possible Believe in you first Donrsquot allow peoplersquos negative opinions to be your personal business Itrsquos not your business Itrsquos just on you to find your way be comfortable being who you are doing what you do and just do it

What is one of the top lessons yoursquove taken from touring some of these countries all over the world

Etana That I have to just totally be myself when I touch that

stage and not be too concerned about anything just allow the music to take over Even if the lights go out always remember that the people are there to to celebrate to sing along with me and so just sing Even if the microphone goes out still sing Itrsquos just about sharing positive music and energy spirit and life with these people

What are you most excited about in terms of people hearing this new album What is the top message you want them to walk away with upon hearing it

Etana I want them to say wow the album was properly put together and if she can do it I can do it I want them to be able to say I Rise

ldquoJah children wake

up and stop walk in

your sleep Lift your

heads up itrsquos no time

to take defeat If we

knock and it no open

we shall surely push

5 Minutes with Jah Cure

By Maliika Walker

We all remember pivotal moments in our lives like the first time you rode a two wheel bike on your ownand the moment you heard your favorite song and it was love at first sight I will forever hold on to my recent memory witnessing Jah Cure live in concert for the first time Jah Cure hypnotized the entire boat with his incredible performance during the Welcome to Jamrock Cruise Fans held on to every note every moment every sound as Jah Cure graced the stage with his presence He was a particular treat for US audiences as he has not been able to perform here due to VISA issues His performance led me to recall the first time I heard one of his songs It was 2007 and I grew disenchanted with the music industry I felt the radio was not exposing us to new talent but the same old junk One of my friends suggested that I listen to a song called Longing For by Jah Cure noting I havenrsquot heard a true voice until I heard his voice I listened to Longing For and I have been a fan ever since October 22 2014 will forever be the day that lives in the memory of everyone on board the day they witnessed Jah Cure capture the imagination of an entire ship and did not let go until he exited the stage

Siccaturie Alcock (aka Jah Cure) was born in 1978 in Hanover Parish Jamaica He was enchanted by music at an early age frequently sneaking out to check out local dancehalls and live shows Some of the great artists he saw perform Burning Spear Peter Tosh and Garnett Silk left a lasting impression that influenced his mission in life to be a reggae star in his own right Not just a singer but an artist that would impact the hearts of people

Jah Cure moved to Kingston to pursue his dream of becoming a reggae artist at a young age and met the likes of Sizzla Jah Mason and Capleton Jah Cure


eventually caught the attention of the legendary Beres Hammond and he became his producer and mentor A succession of singles were released in 1997 and 1998 but his success was interrupted by his incarceration Jah Cure would not be silenced even while incarcerated Three albums were recorded and released while he was still serving his sentence The single that expanded Jah Curersquos audience while still behind prison walls was the smash Longing For His haunting yet powerful voice touched the souls of anyone who heard the single His hit album True Reflections was released in 2007 a few days after he was set free from the prison system for good He has since performed for audiences in countries all over the world and released two additional studio albums and numerous hit singles including Sticky and Never Find

Jah Cure will be releasing his new album in March of 2015 He has so far released two hit singles from his forthcoming release Rasta and Life We Live Island Stage got a chance to spend a few minutes with The Cure where we discussed his upcoming album how he was influenced to pursue a career in music and his desire to tour the US Here is our conversation

I think itrsquos great that you are one of the artists on the 1st annual Welcome to Jamrock Cruise It is time for US audiences to witness a live performance from the Cure

Jah Cure What the US means to me is my life I just donrsquot want to get too old and have never been there I know the US is going through a hard time right now with Ebola and ISIS Itrsquos just a test for the US because they are leaders and all leaders have to be tested to show strength I want to tell the audiences in the US that I need their support I need to be there because I use my music to heal and cure people I would like to tour the US so I can touch my fans there sing my music directly into peoplersquos hearts Touring the US and touching them



with my music is something I want to do because I want to impact minds and change lives there as well

I was introduced to your music by a friend of mine who told me that I had to listen to the voice You were that voice The first song I heard from you was Longing For

Jah Cure That song was a wake up call for me to let the fans know that Jah Cure was here It let people know that I was here to speak to their hearts

I know you were influenced by some of the greats like Bob Marley and Beres Hammond What inspired you to pursue a career in music

Jah Cure I was just sleeping one night and my mother had the radio on It was some love song playing Some Brian McKnight playing a song called One Last Cry I remember waking up crying while listening to this song I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and asked myself why was I crying I realized I was crying because the song was so deep and I felt the soul of this song From that point I just kept trying to bring out the feeling also with my music because I was inspired by that song I will always remember that moment That song inspired me to impact people like that That song was my wakeup call to be a soulful singer I love songs about love I eventually started performing in shows I remember I won a fruit basket in a contest once and I made a decision after that to take music seriously I left Montego Bay for Kingston at a young age From the moment I arrived in Kingston I was learning the business and eventually caught a break Then I went through some trials and tribulations in my life Even going through those trials I was still determined to make my voice heard I was able to reach out beyond the prison walls with a song like Longing For Today I count songs like Love Is Sticky Hands of Love Good Morning Jah Jah - some lovely songs are in my catalog Yes I went thru some trials in my life but I am grateful for those times because my bad days provided for my good days So here I am

What is next for Jah Cure I understand you are working on some new music

Jah Cure Yes I have a new album coming out in 2015 The first single from this album is called The Life We Live Itrsquos the song we are promoting right now The fans can expect some more great songs yet to come My next single Rasta will be released by the end of the year I am in full control of the production of the album and it will be released by my company

I read your next album comes out in March of 2015 Do you know what you are going to call it

Jah Cure Well I have some names but after tonight I am going to go back to the lsquoshuffle boxrsquo and see what I come up with I have a name already in my mind but after speaking with some people tonight I am going to speak with my team and see what they think as well



What message do you have for the youth who may be going through their own trials and tribulations

Stay strong Stay positive Believe in God because Hersquos real Know that you have to love yourself before you can learn to love others - Jah Cure

ldquoYeah yeah Irsquoll be down by the river yeah Waiting for the good Lord to pass my way oh yeah Irsquoll be down by the river yeah Singing songs of joy on this lovely day oh yeah Three singing birds told me my sunrise is always there in the morning praying and blessing the dayrdquo Morgan Heritage lyrics from their hit single Down By The River

Down By The River is one of those songs that sneaks into your bloodstream and just stays with you I could not wait to hear the band perform this song along with other great hits from their catalog including Donrsquot Haffi Dread Over the years I have always enjoyed seeing Morgan Heritage live and I was not disappointed on the cruise Despite an extended rain delay the band took to the stage and performed numerous hit songs from their catalog effortlessly Everyone was united in perfect harmony while they were on stage The magic of Morgan Heritage is making everyone feel the message of their music

2014 marks twenty years since Morgan Heritage graced the stage for the first time at Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica The children of the great Denroy Morgan have since gone on to release numerous hit albums including Donrsquot Haffi Dread More Teachings Mission in Progress and Full Circle The group is world renown for their amazing live performances so they treated fans to a few live albums MH in London and Another Rockaz Moment

2013 marked the return of of the band to their fans worldwide with the release of their eagerly anticipated reunion album Return of the Kings This is their first album of new music since 2008rsquos Mission in Progress The album was well received by critics and fans alike Island Stage had a chance to catch up with Una Morgan at the Welcome to Jamrock Cruise where we discussed her upcoming solo release what

copy Maucobi Styles



influenced Donrsquot Haffi Dread as well as their most recent band release Here Come the Kings Here is our conversation

How does it feel to be one of the acts closing out the 1st Welcome to Jamrock Cruise an event that sold out a year in advance You guys will be helping to send us home in grand style

Una Morgan It goes back to divinity There is a divine relationship between the Morgans and the Marleys Itrsquos not that wersquore favorited or anything there are just so many similarities in our upbringing Their dad our dad Their music our music Itrsquos like wersquore twins almost When we got the call it was the biggest honor We were humbled We were very thankful to be invited to perform on the inaugural event another first of this event is not going to happen We want to make Damian Stephen and JuJu (Julian) proud so they can say yes the Morgan family did represent We are very humbled very thankful Be assured that we are going to kick butt tonight

I remember meeting a Rasta with no locs in Jamaica in 2005 His mentioned to me that he did not have to loc his hair to be Rasta The only thing that mattered is that he lived his life righteous and he believed Haile Selassie I was Jah Did a personal experience influence Donrsquot Haffi Dread

Una Morgan That song was largely based on some of the comments we heard from elders in the Rastafarian community Our father taught us that it was all about whatrsquos inside our hearts Say someone has cancer and they canrsquot wear locs are you really going to say they are not Rasta No you are not because that is not what the truth is So we found it very important to put that on record

You guys regrouped last year and released the album Here Come the Kings your first album since 2008 What was it like touring for this album after the hiatus from recording

Una Morgan Well you know what happens you end up playing more of the older songs than the new ones But we learned over the years to take more control because you want people to hear the new songs so we added a section to the show to showcase the new music We of course have to cover the classic songs everyone loves like the Love Mersquos and Donrsquot Haffi Dread The newest album was released a year ago so now we can mix the new with the old the equilibrium is a lot better

How do you feel about the album Here Come the Kings How do you feel it was received by the public

Una Morgan Itrsquos a good album It shows where the group is now it represents us today vs the previous years The fact that itrsquos a new album that the fans can have after a five year hiatus was something we were happy about The fans seem to love the album All in all recording and releasing this album was a great experience We just released a new single from the album entitled Put it On Me

I sometimes wonder what advice a current veteran performer would give to their old self the first time they were to set foot on stage What would you say to the young Una now

Una Morgan Confidence Whether you are performing in front of one person or two hundred people always give it your all The fact that you are on that stage at all means you have something important you want to say Donrsquot go up on that stage only giving half of yourself go up there believing in yourself and what you are doing Once you believe



57

in yourself and have the confidence you will be fine Because all of those jitterbugs in your belly you are feeling will disappear because you believe in you Donrsquot let anybody tell you anything just believe in you

I heard a rumor that you are working on a solo album Any truth to this

Una Morgan Word got out on the boat about my solo album and I am so excited I am recording it now and canrsquot wait for everyone to hear it

Such a long time coming

Una Morgan Yes I agree a long time coming For me it represents the evolution which is coincidentally the name of the album The Evolution of Me The process began in 2010 and it has now become something else I am so excited about it

I am excited for you Do you know when the album will be released

Una Morgan Yes May 2015 People can also expect a major announcement from me in January 2015 The album will be released by a label in Jamaica called UVM Records The producer for the album is Andrew Blacks who has also produced Popcaan and Bugle to name a few He is like a brother to me He is mainly known for dancehall but his musical ability takes him out of the stratosphere His talent is amazing and has allowed me to recreate myself as a Ragga Soul artist I am very excited about this project

ONE LOVE-TRIBUTE TO

BOB MARLEY

NOVEMBER 29 2014

APOLLO

THEATER

MALIIKA WALKER

PHOTOS BY REGGAE REFLECTION

I was seven years old on October 25 1979 It is one of those days where I wish I was born at least a decade earlier At least then I would have possibly been able to witness one of seven shows that Bob Marley amp The Wailers would perform at the Apollo Theater Fast forward thirty-five years The Apollo Theater held not one but two tribute concerts to Bob Marley commemorating his debut performance at The Apollo Theater on Saturday November 29 2014 I met a woman at the recent tribute show who mentioned to me that missing this show was not an option for her In 1979 she had a conflict so she gave her ticket away to a friend thinking Bob Marley would certainly come back to perform at the Apollo She always regretted her decision to give her ticket away because Bob would never return to the Apollo Theater The first tribute show of the evening sold out quickly so she grabbed tickets for the 11PM performance as fast as she could She said she immediately had flashbacks to late October 1979 and told herself she would not miss this historic night

Third World set the stage for what would be an unforgettable evening performing some of their biggest hits including Forbidden Love 96 Degrees and Jah Jah Children The band also paid a touching tribute to Bunny Rugs their deceased brother in song Maxi Priest joined Third World on stage to perform Bob Marley amp The Wailers classic songs Jammin and Turn Your Lights Down Low The crowd rose to their feet as soon as the band played the first note of Jammin Bob Marleyrsquos son Ky-Mani Marley an actor and Grammy nominated recording artist joined Third World in a classic performance of Redemption Song Third World closed out their performance with their classic Now That We Found Love The audience danced in the aisles to the classic hit

The Wailers band would close out the evening a fitting choice considering the show was in tribute to one its founders As the band began playing the classic Natural Mystic I couldnrsquot help but picture the great Bob Marley holding the microphone stand as the haunting intro filled the auditorium It was wonderful seeing one of the greatest bass players in the history of reggae music Aston ldquoFamily Manrdquo Barrett The band played the Wailers catalog beautifully including The Heathen War and Africa Unite Ky-Mani Marley joined the Wailers on stage to perform his fatherrsquos classic songs I Shot The Sheriff Running Away and Crazy Baldhead Ky-Mani included a classic of his own his own dedication to his father entitled Dear Dad Ky-Manirsquos voice was reminiscent of his fatherrsquos as he performed his catalog as only one of his sonrsquos can

The audience had no idea of the amazing performer that was set to perform next When Ms Lauryn Hill entered the stage the crowd erupted with excitement Ms Hill performed Bob Marleyrsquos classics such as Zimbabwe Is this Love and Could You Be Loved Ms Hill also treated the audience to her classic song Doo Wop (That Thing) The Wailers ended the evening perfectly by inviting each of the performers on stage for a stirring rendition of One Love I asked the woman who gave away her ticket to Bob Marleyrsquos final Apollo performance how she felt about the show that evening She echoed my thoughts exactly ldquoTonightrsquos show was an epic tribute to one of the greatest artists to ever liverdquo Yes Bob Marley was a great artist but his music also carried a message that continues to touch people all over the globe Bob Marley once made the following statement ldquoMy life is only important if me can help plenty of people If my life is for me and my own security then me not want it My life is for people thatrsquos what me isrdquo This night the people celebrated the great Bob Marley Something tells me he jammed right along with us that night

On his fifth birthday Anguillan born Singer Songwriter Omari Banks took the stage in Milan Italy at Club Zimba to sing alongside his father Bankie Banx and has not left the stage since By the age of ten he had won multiple talent shows as a singer and was a confident guitar player

As a teenager his attention turned to the sport of cricket where he excelled first locally then regionally and then ultimately on the world stage As a twenty year old Omari shined bright on the largest stage in test cricket as he played a pivotal role in the greatest second-inning comeback in test cricket history Throughout his successful twelve year professional cricket career Omari seemed to always excel on the largest stages

As quoted on Espncricinfocom

ldquoIn May 2003 Omari Banks made history as the first player from Anguilla to play test cricket for the West Indies Facing the mighty Australians Banks had the sort of introduction that would break lesser men ndash he picked up three wickets in his first innings but was spanked for 204 runs in 40 oversrdquo

With a high elegant action and good control of flight Banks possessed sufficient guile to trouble the best but it was his resourceful lower-middle-order batting that really caught the eye ndash the following week in Antigua he contributed an assured and vital 47 not out as West Indies successfully chased 418 for victory the highest fourth-innings target in Test historyrdquo

Despite his success in sports Omari never lost his passion for music He was well known for traveling with his guitar and performing even as he focused on cricket After twelve years of traveling the world as a professional athlete Omari made the decision to move

on and pursue his passion for music With a lifetime of experiences and life lessons he immersed himself in songwriting and perfecting his musicianship He dedicated himself to his music and created his debut album Move On

The 10-track album recorded in Kingston Jamaica and Houston Texas is a meacutelange of Omarirsquos musical influences and what he likes to call his ldquocontribution to a legacy his dad Bankie Banx started in the early 70srdquo He currently performs four to six times a week around his native land with his band Eleven or in simpler acoustic sets

Omarirsquos instrument of choice is the guitar and unlike his contemporaries he plays sings and writes his own songs He also writes arranges and produces the music that is filled with rich horns snare drums heavy bass and electric guitar chords and melodies that bring Omarirsquos words to life setting him apart from most contemporary Reggae artists

Omari wrote both the lyrics and the music on the title track ldquoMove Onrdquo which was produced by Stanley Stevens Renowned musicians Junior Jazz Glen Browne Robbie Lyn and Sly Dunbar accompany Omari on this autobiographical song about his transition from cricket to music Other notable musicians and performerrsquos on Omarirsquos album include Stephen ldquoCatrsquo Coore of Third World Corey Stoot and Bankie Banx

Omari is on a musical mission to spread messages of love and consciousness with his assimilation of traditional Jamaican Reggae music accentuated with Rock and Blues backbeats in an adult contemporary fusion that he blends seamlessly with Lovers Rock and R lsquonrsquo B

The video for his first official single ldquoUnafraidrdquo premiered at Moonsplash 2013 to great anticipation

ldquoUnafraidrdquo became the 1 music video in the Caribbean for 2013 The song remained in TOP 10 of TEMPOrsquos Cross Caribbean Countdown for seventeen consecutive weeks and peaked at 1 on multiple occasions

Omari has signed a record deal with Red Bullet Records in the Netherlands to release his single ldquoUnafraidrdquo in The Netherlands France Belgium and Luxemburg in April 2014

The album release for Move On in June 2013 was a major success and a must-attend event on Anguilla where an album release of this magnitude had never been seen Omari is a man with a message and the desire to succeed his brilliant cricket career is a testament to Omarirsquos drive and determination but his musical journey has only just begun

ldquoI want to take my music to an international market because I have an opinion based on knowledge and information I want to use the gifts Irsquove been blessed with to have a positive influence on people Being someone who has already travelled the world with sports Irsquom able to have a broader perspective than a lot of other people I can communicate to all levels of thinking from a child to an adult and my music is ageless and really touches lives because the stories are true and talk about whatrsquos really going onrdquo

he was introduced to renowned music producer Flava McGregor with whom he has recorded over 10 well-received songs offering hope to people vulnerable to a culture of violence and uncertainty such as ldquoBoard Houserdquo ldquoGuns Outrdquo ldquoFriends for Salerdquo ldquoDrive Byrdquo and ldquoA Nuh Suh Mi Waan Liverdquo

During the past two decades Nesbeth has been a force at international festivals such as Reggae Sumfest Bob Marley Birthday Bash STING Rebel Salute Irie Jamborie in New York City Summerfest in Washington DC New Jersey Reggae Fest and has played shows at venues in Ottawa Canada Antigua Saint Kitts Anguilla Grenada and cities throughout the United Kingdom In February 2010 he hosted ldquoA Nuh Suh Mi Waan Liverdquo a love and unity concert in the Arnett Gardens community where he and other native artists performed The event brought together thousands of residents that had been isolated in their communities for years by violence

Nesbeth still strives to be the voice of his nation by creating music that tells a powerful story and supports his philosophies and by lending his support to a variety of charitable events He won a 2013 Manchester Award along with an honorary award at the 2013 Music Industry Achievers Awards and completed a successful debut tour of the United Kingdom in September

His last single ldquoOle Gangaleerdquo has been a hit all across Jamaican radio Early 2014 Nesbeth signed with London based Entertainment Soul Records and set upon recording his first 5 track EP for them This collection of songs is proudly titled lsquoVictoryrsquo because thatrsquos the way Nesbeth is feeling right now Of the EP Nesbeth says lsquoI see the songs as parts of my body each song plays a significant role I want to anoint the oppressor and the oppressed word sound is powerrdquo
