CARIBBEAN FEVER IRIE JAMBOREE BRINGS MARLEY MAGIC TO NEW YORK !

Caribbean Fever Irie Jamboree Music Festival is North America's largest music festival featuring music from multiple genres exclusively from the Caribbean region. The festival will showcase a kaleidoscope of Caribbean musical luminaries headlined by reggae's current hottest performer, musical magician Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley.  
This explosive new musical celebration combines two previous hit concerts- Irie Jamboree and Caribbean Fever. The three day event takes place at the ultra luxurious Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City August 30 to September 1 over the Labor Day Caribbean Carnival weekend.

The first night, August 30 shines the spotlight on Creole French music and will feature the internationally acclaimed zouk band Kassav from Guadeloupe and Martinique alongside Haitian hip hop star Wyclef Jean. Tabou Combo will also play on Friday, as will other stars from the Caribbean Francophone world.

On night two, 'Carnival Mania,' Saturday August 31, the soca sensations will sizzle. On the front burner will be Bunji Garlin, Fay-Ann Lyons, Edwin Yearwood, Alison Hinds and Iwer George.

Night three Sunday, September 1, 'Irie Jamboree' will be headlined by the newly crowned monarch of reggae Jr. Gong Marley in his first New York City post coronation performance. Irie Jamboree will be mystifying Marley magic as the new king welcomes New Yorkers to Jamrock. Other superstars on reggae Sunday night are Grammy winner Shabba Ranks, hit machines Capleton and I-Octane with more reggae acts to be announced before blastoff.

Emperor Shabba Ranks Triumphs in the Studio with “War!”




Since his performance at the 2012 staging of Reggae Sumfest in beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica, Shabba Ranks has been on fire in the performance arena, and in the recording arena.

Teaming up with one of Jamaica’s hottest younger generation producers, Calibud (Son of legendary producer Bobby ‘Digital B’ Dixon), Shabba recently returned to the studio to record the powerful song “War.”

Performed on the rebuilt riddim used to back Bob Marley’s song of the same name, Emperor Shabba Ranks denounces war of all types including psychological and physical, and appeals to the powers that be to keep the war away from his people.  Turning to his community, Shabba calls for us to unite in order that his people to be uplifted.  Using the song’s punch line to emphasize his point, Shabba simply asks “Ah who win the war; the police in the jeep or the soldiers in armored cars?”

Recorded live at the family’s recording studio on Ron’s Road in June in Kingston, Jamaica, Shabba expressed how happy he is with the outcome of the recording.  “I’m very pleased with the song,” said Shabba.  “I look forward to adding this song to my performances when I perform for fans.”  In addition to Shabba’s satisfaction with the song, several artists in the Reggae and Dancehall fraternity have been touched by the riddim which has led to the decision to make a full riddim including the vocals of Cali P, Tarrus Riley and General Degree.  “I’m very excited about the War riddim,” said Calibud.  “This is a riddim that will help to unite the people and tell the world how great we are.  This will be a great riddim.”

Bobby ‘Digital B’ Dixon, who has kept a watchful eye over his Son and the project, agrees that this riddim is “ready for the world” and is very proud of his Son including his musical accomplishments.

The single is available on iTunes here:  www.itunes.apple.com/album/war-single/id548298215?v0

►►► Classic Friday! ►►► Fresh and Hold A Fresh - What's The Difference?!

Greetings!
 
For today's Classic Friday, we have two versions of one
riddim from two amazing producers!  Is it Fresh, or Hol
A Fresh, or both?  It's Both!
 
In 1987, Winston Riley recorded Red Dragon and
the infamous chune 'Hol A Fresh' for his Techniques
label.  He also produced Flourgon's 'Hol A Spliff'
where Flourgon says "all who nuh smoke from mawnin
run go bill ah spliff...!"
 
In 1987, Lloyd 'King Jammy's' James built the 'Fresh'
riddim which also flattened Dancehall!  Both versions
of the riddim were most popular from that time, often
featured in documentaries and movies, the riddim feels
good and makes the listener move.  The artists on the
riddim felt the vibes based on their performances!
 
Shabba Ranks chune "Hold A Fresh" led the pack for
the Jammy's production.  Additional artists include Admiral
Bailey, Dominique, Leroy Gibbons with the hit chune
"Four Season's Lover," and Lt. Stitchie making this riddim
a HITTTTTTTT!
 
The difference between the two riddims is the Riley production
is a slower tempo, while the Jammy's version is faster.  The lead
single from Red Dragon focuses on men holding a fresh, while
the Shabba version focuses on women holding a fresh.
 
Both versions of riddim makes one look back at yester-year
when women wore huge gold earrings and rings to match, men
wore huge gold chains, Kangol hats, and rags in back pocket. 
Classic!  People went to dances to meet a boyfriend or girlfriend,
and one selector usually played the entire night.  Lawd ... dih
sweetness!
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch the Fresh riddim, and one
chune from the Hold A Fresh riddim here:

►►► Throwback Thursday! ►►► Can A Poco Man Jam?!

Greetings!
 
Just the name of the riddim alone should tell
you that this riddim holds a vibes, but when
you play it, you know it.  The people move...
 
A Poco Man is one who practices a different
type of spirituality.  They claim to be able
to heal, ward off evil, and have visions that
pertain to your life.  There are some people
who believe in a Poco Man, and there are
others who don't. 
 
In 1990, Steely and Clevie created and produced
the Poco Man riddim which is a jump up, feel
good, 'kick out yuh foot' and jam type of riddim.
 
Featuring artistry from Capleton, Cutty Ranks
and Red Dragon (to name a few), it becomes
hard to say which fans prefer more, the lyrics
or the riddim!  The Shabba Ranks chunes "Dem
Bow" and "Trailer Load" became Dancehall
anthems for their time, and have inspired Konshens
to relick the riddim with Daddy and Hypa from
France for the 'Trailer Reloaded' riddim!
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, and featuring the work
of most original artists to the riddim, catch Poco
Man here:

♠ HOTTT New Remixes ♠ Busy Busy - I Keep Getting A Busy Signal!

Greetings!

As I write and you read, Busy Signal is
gearing up for extensive travel!  He has
dates booked in the Caribbean and Europe,
and my crystal ball is telling me that this
spring will bring a few surprise visits to
a few surprise places, much to the delight
of fans and promoters!

In terms of Busy’s music, the DJ’s are telling
me ‘dih chunes dem gone,’ and so is mediafire.com. 
To date, Busy has over 4,000 downloads
for “Food Fih Dih Pot” on the Duck Dance
Riddim re-released by Donovan Germaine
for Penthouse Records.  So what's next you
ask?!  Remixes!

We kick off the Busy remix session with the
chune “One More Night” on the Far East
riddim.  This is rub-a-dub at its best, and filled
with vibes!  We also have “Night Shift” on
the Fade Away riddim, and if that’s not enough,
Richie Blindz put Busy Signal and Rihanna
together on a “Rude Boy” remix.  Lawd – dih
way dih ting rude fih real!

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Busy Signal’s
“One More Night” and “Night Shift” remixes,
as well as Busy's midas touch to “Rude Boy”

♦ ♦ ♦ Do You Rememba?! ♦ ♦ ♦ Frighty ft. Colonel Mite - Raggamuffin Love!

Greetings!

I hope you had a GREAT weekend that was
filled with music, music, music!

If I say the names Frighty and Colonel Mite,
you probably don't remember who on earth
I'm talking about, but if I sing the words
'raggamuffin love,' it might spark a memory!

Released on the Priority Records label in the
mid 1990's, the singing and DJ duo of Frighty
and Colonel Mite had a hit record on their hands
with the chune "Raggamuffin Love."

With simplistic words, their message was catchy
and energetic to all listeners, and made them
think about making it in Life!

Seeing that you play so much music for the
enjoyment of your listeners, today, take a minute
to play a song for the enjoyment of you!

Broadcasting at 320kbps, and wishing you all
the positive vibes life can bring, catch the chune
here:  



*To be a DJ is a Career, not a hobby;
collecting records is...
