It has been the biggest reggae festival in Europe, but now the Rototom Sunsplash will close. Because there had been presumed infractions to the Fini-Giovanardi law (the law against drugs).

This is a band named S.A.R.S., the acronym of "Svjeze amputirana ruka Satrianija" which means "Freshly amputated Satriani's hand". The name pretty much says it all, but, there's more - they describe themselves as "drunk fools nobody cares about". Well, not quite.
The song "Budjav lebac" which means "Moldy bread" is a satire about social status in Balkan region (some call it Southeastern Europe) and solution for the global crisis. It's very funny and the video is something special.

Nata Manera è come loro vorrebbero il mondo, Nata manera è come loro vedono la vita, Nata manera è il loro modo di fare musica. “Nata Manera” – che nel dialetto campano significa un altro modo – è il titolo dell’ultimo album dei Paranza Vibes, gruppo di Pontecagnano (Salerno), il cui brano “In Campania”, lo scorso anno ha accompagnato i titoli di coda del docufilm sul problema rifiuti Biùtiful Cauntri.Nata Manera è come loro vorrebbero il mondo, Nata manera è come loro vedono la vita,... more
With statistics not begin collected until ten years after his death, Nesta Robert "Bob" Marley (later know as Robert Nesta Marley) has sold between 100 and 250 million records worldwide. Between 1991 and 2007 Bob Marley and The Wailers have sold in excess of 21 million records. Refusing to raise a fist fight, he survived a hail of bullets then two days later he still took the stage in protest with a soft, unwavering, militant-voice. When asked why, he responded "the people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off. How can I?" Bob Marley remains the single figure largely responsible for bringing people of all colors and races together under the Rastafarian Movement.
Here is the answer in his words...

Pulling reggae apart and putting it back together again with a libleral dose of hip-hop, a dash of rock, and a whole lot of soul, Dread Daze tunes up the positive vibrations and turns traditional reggae on it’s ear. The powerful sound they bring forth is uniquely their own, and their music speaks their truth in no uncertain terms.
Di Wall, Dread Daze’ beautifully crafted debut album, literally explodes with songs like “Right Now”, “Stand Up”, and “Murder in the Name of Religion”, that challenge the status quo and urge people to question, understand and take action. “Kitty” and “NiteTime” get listeners out of their chairs and onto their feet -- just in time to bend and move to the traditional reggae vibes of “Morning Time” and “Danger Signs” before slowing down and slipping into Ital Soul where lead vocalist Najashi seduces listeners with his steamy twist on a Motown-inspired love song.
The brainchild of lead vocalist, Najashi, who hails from a talented musical family and gets his reggae vibes via his Jamaican upbringing, Dread Daze was conceived in Los Angeles, but is a child of the world stage. Their authentic desire to use their music to open minds, change vibes and spread a message of peace and unity shines through in every song and has captured the ears of listeners across all genres as well as promoters throughout the U.S. and around the world. Dread Daze’ exudes raw energy on-stage and forges a strong bond with audiences worldwide, while their huge grass-roots following and spirit of collaboration make them widely sought after – as evidenced by countless shows in clubs, festivals and other venues throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Together, Najashi (lead vocalist), Brian Ward/Belfast Posse (guitar/vocals), Donu (drums), DJ Thergood (DJ/percussion), and Billy (lead guitar), form Dread Daze. Individually, they have made their mark in the music scene performing with legends such as Steel Pulse, Arrested Development, Pato Banton, Eek A Mouse, Half Pint, Mikey Dread, Wailing Souls, The Abyssinians, Don Carlos and many more. They’ve also recorded with members of The Black Eyed Peas, Jurassic 5, James Early of M.C Hammer’s first album, and more recently recorded in the infamous Hitsville West, a.k.a. Motown Studios, where legends, Marvin Gaye and The Jackson 5, once created music history.
Dread Daze’ album, Di Wall, is available on both I Tunes and CD Baby, and current information and tour dates are available at www.myspace.com/dreaddaze For more information and booking, email dreaddaze@gmail.com or call 213-239-3887.Pulling reggae apart and putting it back together again with a libleral dose of... more

w/The Fugees "Blunted on Reality" 2million records sold
w/The Fugees "The Score" Multi-platinum
Solo "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" 18 million
Solo "MTV Unplugged 2.0" Platinum
Question: Why Do Platinum Artists Flee Underground?
Lauryn Hill has successfully removed herself from the mass media and any attempt of them to reproduce or exploit for profit any part of her music and or image. Therefore what is found are snippets of the real Ms. Hill scattered in the media and on the internet.
Seeing pictures of Jamaica's Jovi Rockwell, and hearing her dancehall heavy music could lead you to some guesses as to what album was first in her record collection. Perhaps you'd gander that her earliest influences were Jamaican in nature, filled with reggae, dancehall, and the cabaret of her father, Winston Sly Clarke.Seeing pictures of Jamaica's Jovi Rockwell, and hearing her dancehall heavy music... more
I have to admire someone who sings and plays his own instruments. And if they sing the songs that they write that is one better. But what about a guy that writes and sings his own songs, and plays his own instruments that he makes too?
Mathew Tembo, of Lusaka Zambia, has been making music for years, but now he returns to combine reggae with an indigenous sound with hand carved instruments. The only question is this... those calabash resonators in the silimba are made from gourds. Mathew, did you grow those yourself?I have to admire someone who sings and plays his own instruments.
