Posted on February 11, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Exploding on the scene in 2015, Welsh DJ /producer Timbali, with his impeccable productions and eclectic style, has become a successful figure in Britain’s reggae-dancehall. As he continues to triumph with his studio productions: the #1 single on Beatport, Killing Sound with Skarra Mucci, All My Days featuring Lutan Fyah and Dead Yuh Dead sung by Peppery – just to name a few – his live shows have also led to him becoming a festival favorite.

Originally a sound-system act, Timbali has now evolved into a 6 piece reggae-dub band that is fronted by reggae-dancehall artist Peppery. Using the moniker The Timbali Players, the unit features top international musicians, and is now known and admired for their strong stage presence.

The Timbali Players will take their show to The Old Market Assembly, located at 25 West Street, Old Market in Bristol (UK) on Friday, February 25th, where they’re promising to deliver an authentic, modern take on reggae.

Reggae Global Entertainment, the imprint that is owned and operated by power couple Joanna Marie and Ed Robinson, has started the year by releasing good music and getting the appropriate acknowledgement for doing so.

In January, Joanna published My Best Boy (Close To You), a remake of John Holt‘s classic: Be Close To You (My Best Girl). Her version is now enjoying steady radio rotation and feature on various reggae platforms worldwide. Its success is due in part to the fact that she is the first woman to provide a female’s take on this massive hit.

“Words can’t express how excited I am to enter The Foundation Radio Network New York Chart! I do believe this is my first time on this chart. South Florida chart is quite often but this is a great feeling entering this one for the first time! Nuff respect to all my supporters and all of the supporters of The Reggae Global Ent. Family!

Posted on February 9, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Fiyaneer is not your average reggae crooner or DJ. His passion for his craft as well as the genuine charisma with which he composes and presents the topics that are depicted in his music, certainly sets him apart from his contemporaries.

Fiyaneer, christened Odene Burke, hails from the rural community of Allman Hill in St. Catherine and attended the educational institutions Allman Hill All Age and St Mary’s College in Above Rocks. He discovered his love for music in his formative years and is always eager to share stories detailing how he used to stay up with his father who would allow him to sing and DJ using his uncle’s sound equipment, way into the nights after the parties that they used to host had ended. Seeing that he was always immersed in an atmosphere that was permeated with the sounds and rhythms of reggae; it was only natural that he would have developed an affinity for the genre.

Fiyaneer honed his craft by working over the years, with groups such as Kanastone which also featured popular recording artiste Bescenta. He has also worked with the prolific King Jammy’s. This well rounded ambassador of culture has also entered the Jamaica Festival and Tastee talent competition and presented original material in both contests. His work represents strongly for the reggae genre, his lyrics are intricately crafted masterpieces that details vividly, the experiences of the down casted and down trodden members of society, staying true to the roots and the essence of reggae music. He has an unmistakable passion for social justice and for seeing the needs of the less fortunate being met, this concern for the disenfranchised members of the society, is always depicted in his music.

Fiyaneer is a musical craftsman who manages to create and deliver consciously potent music, whilst remaining humble and grounded.
