Last November, several days after Gaza resumed its armed conflict with the state of Israel, reggae artist Miriam Simone – in collaboration with producer Paul Scott of Sound System Club Ltd. – shared the single Stop The Shooting. On a modern mix of Bob Marley‘s Crazy Baldhead rhythm, the Surinamese vocalist who resides in The Netherlands made an impassioned plea to the citizens of earth to stop killing each other.
“I hope to touch the hearts of those who are a part of the war and those who are driven by violence. Because we are all children of creation and I cannot imagine what evil can come into mankind to get so heartless to hurt another human being.” The preceding is Miriam Simone‘s answer when asked what she would like listeners to take away from Stop The Shooting.
Stop The Shooting can be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Apple Music etc. It will also be featured on Simone‘s upcoming, not yet titled EP, which is being produced by Paul Scott for Sound System Club Ltd.
Reggae lovers in The Netherlands are encouraged to attend the Bob Marley Tribute Festival at Patronaat in Haarlem on February 10th, as Miriam Simone will be performing with the Tuffsound Band.
