Alwayne Love’s New Single “Africa The Motherland” Is Now Available On Streaming Platforms!

Alwayne Love, in collaboration with T25 Records, has just shared the highly anticipated, awe-inspiring reggae single, Africa The Motherland. Recorded approximately one year ago at Steven Ventura‘s studio in Stony Hill, St. Andrew, this is an authentic roots-reggae tune that celebrates the mainland of Africa and all that it has contributed to the globe.  

Africa is the world’s second-largest and second-most populous continent, and although countless stories have been told about this region, Alwayne Love‘s presentation is done in a way that not only educates, entertains, and enlightens its listener, but it is also quite gripping.  

This record marks the official return of Alwayne Love, who had taken a hiatus from music and is now back with a new brand, management team, and catalogue of powerful music that will be unveiled over time. To get a sense of who this artist is and what he’s got in store, check out Africa The Motherland on streaming platforms, and pay attention to his lyrics (message) and flow (delivery).

Norris Man Added To The 2024 Aarhus Reggae Festival 

One of the most persistent artists in the reggae-dancehall industry, Norris Man, has been added to the Aarhus Reggae Festival lineup. 

Norris Man grew up in the Trench Town and Arnett Gardens communities in Kingston, Jamaica. His career as a recording artist officially began in the mid-90s, and despite the fact that he migrated to Sweden approximately ten years ago, he has maintained his relevance within the genre on both the local and international scene. 

He has been consistently touring all over the world for the past twenty-five years, and has been steadfast in his commitment to recording and releasing new music on an ongoing basis. In fact, in May 2022, he shared the album Deep Conversations, and most recently, in November 2023, he dropped another LP called Life. 

Norris Man will headline the Aarhus Reggae Festival alongside Exco Levi, and both men will be supported by several local performers and selectors. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 28, and it will be staged at Volume Village (Thomas Koppels Gade 201) in Aarhus, Denmark.
