BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS
"REMEMBERING A LEGEND"
Bob Marley and the Wailers touch the very core of our psyches and the musical branches of a growing Caribbean roots consciousness, these brethrens made understandable the foundations of our being. We see ourselves reflected in their music. Spawned in the steaming ghetto called Trench Town, the Wailers are the masters of reggae; the acknowledged voice of Rastafari is Bob Marley.
Internationally famous superstar Robert Nester Marley was born in 1945, the son of an English army Captain and a Jamaican woman. Bob started singing professionally at the age of fifteen (15), “But why?” “That is a hard question he says, “I couldn’t see myself doing anything else, I just like music.” In 1963, Bob along with Peter McIntosh (later Peter Tosh) and Bunny Livingston (later Bunny Wailer) formed the Wailing Wailers. Two of their earliest hits were “Simmer Down” and “Rude Boy”. READ MORE
ALTON ELLIS
'THE GODFATHER OF ROCKSTEADY"
Alton Ellis had always mesmerized his fans with his strong lyrics and soothing sound. He was a fashion designer by trade, so he was one of the slickest dressers on stage. A soft spoken and humble individual, his music reflects his philosophy.
His friends and fans hold Alton in high esteem. It is sad that a singer of such talent had not been given the financial rewards he richly deserved. What is remarkable about Alton is that with over four decades of experience in the business, he still didn’t complain. The music of his time is of far more superior quality than most of the crap that is on the market today. READ MORE

CHRONIXX - CONTROVERSIAL WARRIOR
“Jah over evil right pon di ark
Babylon fraid when di gideon start
Man a warrior woiee
Tell dem man a warrior woiee
Full suite a armor sword inna hand
Ready fi go chant down dutty babylon
Man a warrior woiee
Tell dem man a warrior woiee”
The lyrics from Chronixx song titled “Warrior”. Chronixx’s tongue is like a cutting razor and they say that the tongue is mightier than the sword. The bible aptly puts it that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. Words are indeed very powerful. Chronixx was blasted for comments he made on social media where it appeared that he called United States president Obama a 'waste man'. READ MORE
