PRINCE ALLAH
Prince
allah is revered within the reggae music fraternity as a devote Rastaman whom
lives by his words and deeds with righteous actions. His music has produced
some of roots reggae music classics anthems. With hits such as Sun is
shinning, Bucket
Bottom,
Lots Wife and Stone.
He
has recorded with some of Jamaicas top producers, including Tappa Zukie,
(STARS) Bertram Brown (FREEDOM SOUNDS), The Oswald Bros (HEADPHONE).
His
album, Only love can conquer for UK based Blood and Fire in the late 70s
introduced his work to a new and very receptive audience.
Subsequent
productions with the likes of UK based Jah Shaka, Switzerland based Jah Warrior
and a host of digital roots producers has maintained his high standing within
the music fraternity. With many top international artist quoting him as a main
inspirational influence. Normally at ease in the hills of Jamaica this is a
rear opportunity to experience the musical and spiritual genius of a true
Rastaman.
DAWEH CONGO
Introducing for the first time live on stage in the UK, a
talent which has been described as, echoing the voice of Burning Spear and
other vintage roots artist, but no one sounding quite like Daweh.
His
delivery of poetry is unique. He remains one of the most unfulfilled potential
in reggae music.
Debuting
in 1995 with the highly acclaimed MILITANCY album on the RUNN NETHERLANDS Label.
High expectations was expected of this young sounding Burning Spear.
His
mesmerising voice and sharp social commentary fills dance floors wherever his
productions are played. His dub plates are the most sort after by sound systems
worldwide. Now we have finally managed to get him in the uk on a tour live as
opposed to a recording level.
Daweh
has come to fulfil that potential.
PRINCE LIV-I-JAH
Hailing from the jah youth stable prince Liv-I-jah is respected on the UK
roots circuit as one of the top mc. Performing tracks from his long awaited
debut album with legendary UK roots producer Gussie P on the sip a cup label.
Remember this name.
TAPPA
ZUKI
Is a Legendary DJ and producer from Kingston Jamaica. His
MAN A WARRIOR LP included the track MPLA which earn him respect and cult
following within the music fraternity rocker Patti Smith being one of his most
influential fans.
With
his international success he was able to launch his own stars label, which gave
him grassroots success with such artiste as Price Alla, Jnr Ross and the
Spears,
Knowledge
And the Might Diamonds.
While
his stage performances are rear in the U.K now, he remains an icon in the
reggae world and is gusting to enhance the performance of one of his label
artist Prince Alla.
Roots
of reggae are privileged to have him supporting this event.
JAH YOUTH SOUND
Established in 1975. Jah youth sound remains at the
forefront of todays roots reggae music. Having recently toured Switzerland and
Italy. They have now taken up residents at The newly opened OPEN THE GATES
