At the beginning of the summer we published an article stating that reggae legend Don Carlos would be performing at Moe’s Alley in August. Apparently that show was postponed, and the new dates we are now getting are Friday, November 5th and Saturday, November 6th, 2021.
On both nights Carlos will be joined by I-taweh and DJ Spleece. Tickets for both shows are going for $40/$45 (advance/door) and the schedule start times are 8pm. Moe’s Alley is located at 1535 Commercial Way in Santa Cruz, California.
Approximately one month ago Jamaican sing-jay Tommie Tei released a groovy, mid-tempo one drop reggae tune titled Those Days. The song has subsequently gained traction and have been enjoying good rotation on reggae platforms in various countries.
In an effort to further advance the awareness of the record and hopefully give it an even wider audience, Tommie and his team have recently shot the official video. A significant portion of it was captured in the Cayman Islands, while the rest was taped in Jamaica by Clock Work Filmz, the same outfit that did his last video (Jah a Guide).
Those Days speaks to a time when life seemed easier and more enjoyable irrespective of one’s position and/or status. Tommie Tei is promising that the upcoming visuals currently being edited will reflect the same.
Last week dancehall artist Ding Dong, who is fully vaccinated, shared a pro-vax video on his Instagram account. The clip, which seems to have been shot in a studio, is of him performing a song with the hook “Get Vaccinated.”
The video, which is approximately one minute in length, was posted with the following caption: “And what kind of man would I be if I had made my mother,wife and kids got vaccinated before me???? @andrewholnessjm @themohwgovjm @christufton please to provide a food care package for the less fortunate and the elderly getting vaccinated and try to find a way to reach ppl that are not able to reach the vaccination post.“

At the beginning of October, Zion High Music in collaboration with Evidence Music, released a Max Romeo and Anthony B combination called Public Enemy. They followed up on October 22nd with another song from the same Cherry Oh Baby Riddim compilation.

Reggae-dancehall artist Bugle has just released his highly anticipated album, Toxicity. The record has sixteen tracks and several collaborations done with some of the biggest names in the industry. Some of the more notable features are Beenie Man, Julian Marley, Bounty Killer, Kabaka Pyramid, Jesse Royal and Tony Gold.
Over the years Bugle has been successful in creating thought provoking music, that though substantive, still manages to appeal to the masses. He has continued on that path with Toxicity, accentuating some of Jamaica’s social and political issues, as well as our overall moral values.
Toxicity was officially published on all music platforms on October 22, 2021. Click here to stream and/or download it from your preferred music source.
