The Official Video For Turbulence’s Most Requested Song “For Me” Will Be Released This Friday, May 7th (@Turbulence876 @ReggaeVibesMus1)

Posted on May 4, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

One of the most used music quotes is: “Music Never Dies”! This line has once again been affirmed with the re-release of Turbulence‘s “For Me.”

The song is featured on the Reggae Vibes Riddim, a compilation released by the record label Reggae Vibes Music in 2015. The project, which also has songs from Sizzla, Fantan Mojah and other notable Jamaican artists did very well when it came out, serving as a sort of introduction to the then newly formed music label (Reggae Vibes).

However, as is usually the case, newer releases captured the consciousness of the masses, pulling attention away from the tracks on the Reggae Vibes Riddim. All except one!

Turbulence‘s “For Me,” a beautiful lovers-rock tune became a fan favorite especially in places like Brazil and parts of Europe. It continues to enjoy heavy rotation and is constantly featured on various reggae platforms.

The love and support for the record has been so strong that it has compelled the team at Reggae Vibes Music to create and share an official video for it six years after it was first released. That being said, the visuals will be premiering this coming Friday, May 7th on the popular YouTube channel Reggaeville.

KashieF Lindo Tackles Global Systematic Racism In New Reggae Single “I Can’t See Your Face” (@KashiefLindo)

Posted on May 2, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Quiet as it’s kept, KashieF Lindo is arguably one of the most relevant reggae artist of our generation. He has earned that title because of his wisdom and ability to only share time sensitive songs that accurately addresses the issues of the day.

“I Can’t See Your Face,” his latest single, speaks to the blatant manner in which some public figures in positions of authority are overtly supporting systematic racism in their respective territories. Additionally, the record also highlights the ongoing killing of Black people at the hands of the police – something that has recently gotten worldwide attention.

Though the tune was written by Willie Lindo – veteran reggae producer and KashieF‘s father – it does not in anyway diminish the aforementioned label given to the younger Lindo. Both father and son made significant contributions to this project. The song credits are as follows: KashieF is credited for drum programming, piano, keyboards and backing vocals; while Willie is credited for the guitars, writing and producing. The bass was played by Val Douglas, and it was recorded at HeavyBeat Recording Studio and mixed and mastered by their in-house crew.

Introducing Ghanaian Reggae Artist Tradition Man Wolo

Posted on April 30, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Tradition Man Wolo is an avid student of reggae music and its legendary stars Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Jimmy Cliff and others. He also appreciates and admires the contributions made by lovers-rock giants like Gregory Isaacs and Beres Hammond. It is his admiration for the aforementioned artists that have led to his own career as a reggae singer and songwriter.

Tradition Man started writing songs and playing gigs while at Achimota High School in Accra, Ghana. After experimenting with music as a solo act, he eventually teamed up with friends to form the now defunct reggae band Club Tradition. At the time, the men were attending the University of Ghana – also in Accra – and became very active, performing on local college campuses.

Unfortunately, his pursuit for a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology took priority, which resulted in him taking a hiatus from music.

Approximately ten years ago, he relocated to the United States to further his education. This move saw him attending both the University of Toledo and Arizona State University, where he earned a MA and MBA respectively. Following those achievements, his work as a market researcher in the software industry later took him to Seattle, Washington, which is where he is currently based.

The Ghanaian reggae lover is now ready to re-enter the music industry, and will do so with a brand new single called “This Feeling” on May 12th, 2021.
