Officially released on Friday, February 15th, the Reggae Star Riddim from Reggae Vibes Music features some of Jamaica’s most respected musical voices. It has new music from Jah Cure, Lutan Fyah, Bescenta, Turbulence, Yami Bolo, Powerman and others.
Some of the songs that must be highlighted are Yami Bolo‘s track – I got love for you – which is getting good reviews from his die-hard fans and supporters. Powerman, who recently lost both parents on the same day, passionately sings about not giving up on his song titled “Cant Keep We Down.”
Bescenta, Ruff Top Rock I and Fiyaneer did a collaboration as a group (Kana Stone) on a previously released riddim, but on the Reggae Star Riddim each artist returns with their own individual song. Lutan Fyah, who is arguably one of Jamaica’s best songwriter, also encourages listeners not to give up. On his record he laments on the fact that “we have forever to live, while we are alive.”
Kenroy ‘short man’ Mullings, the touring guitarist for Beenie Man and Jimmy Cliff, skillfully introduces himself with a beautiful guitar laced track. And finally, Jah Cure, who is quite aware of the fact that his fans are anticipating the release of his long awaited album, Royal Soldier, delivered on his track “Jah Watch Over His People.”
The Reggae Star Riddim is the 3rd compilation from Reggae Vibes Music, a label that is known and respected for their quality production. Previous releases from Reggae Vibes Music are: the Reggae Vibes Riddim and the Reggae Sax Riddim.
At over 80 years young, legendary Jamaican artist/producer Lee Scratch Perry is still going strong! On Thursday, March 14th, he will be performing at the Gloucester Guildhall (23 Eastgate Street, GL1 1NS Gloucester) in Gloucestershire, England.
