One of the final shows for Reggae Month 2023 is Reggae Cyaa Dunn, scheduled for 10am to 1pm at the world famous Dunns River Falls Park in Ocho Rios, St. Ann, Jamaica.

This is a family event that will feature live performances by Etana, Yung Muta, Flourgon, Mackeehan and Teshay Makeda. Most importantly, it is absolutely free to all patrons of the park.

Club 360 – a recording studio and lounge located at Royal Flat Square in Mandeville, Manchester – is celebrating their opening with a special live show on Saturday, March 18. Although the business has been in operation for a few months the organizers have decided that such an event is warranted.

That said, Chezidek, Anthony Cruz and Little Hero have been invited to headline the show, with support from Pzed, Zamunda, Dinho, Mexi Kaano, Free T Shirt and the Step by Step Band. Additional music will be provided by Global Force Sound System, DJ Dippo, and Quiet Storm Movement. Admission is $1,500.

Wormbass, famed bassist who rose to prominence years ago while working with dancehall giant Beenie Man, is using his many talents – singer, songwriter, producer, musician and artist – to inspire women to do and be more. Last year, he, along with rising star Ch4se, collaborated on a powerful single titled Hold On To Your Pride. The song is featured on the Roots Riddim produced by Africa based imprint, Royal Roots Studio. 

On the record, both men passionately urge women to be strong, stay focus and maintain high standards in every area of their lives. Wormbass said as much in a public statement he shared when the visuals were published in late January: “Dedicated to the Queens as a reminder that you are amazing and you should keep believing in yourself. Our society depends on you.”

Hold On To Your Pride (Roots Riddim) can be downloaded from iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and all other streaming platforms. And the official video can be viewed on Wormbass‘ YouTube channel.

Veteran dancehall artist and producer Jah Thomas is currently in London promoting his recently released album, Clarks a Clarks, which comes to us courtesy of Tad’s Record Inc. The ten-track project came out in mid January – on the 13th to be exact – and it features collaborations with Josey Wales, Peter Metro, Junior Moore, and Thomas‘ son Da’Ville. 

Jah Thomas‘ signature sound and style – which can be described as lyrically captivating, with a seventies chant – is on clear display on this new LP. The Shoulder Move deejay did not alter his form of expression in anyway; instead he brings us the listener into his world. And rightfully so. It is truly refreshing to hear this type of early reggae-dancehall vibe shared today, especially at a time when there is a healthy debate about both the history, and future of Jamaica’s music.

That said, reggae lovers and industry insiders in the UK are now able to hear from Jah Thomas directly. Persons wanting to work with him while he is in London may do so by contacting +1(876) 850-1399. And remember to stream/download Clarks a Clarks from your preferred music platform.

Reggae artist Warrior King has just released a brand new single called Ethiopia. The track is featured on the Roots & Righteousness Riddim, which was jointly produced by Richard Roach of Digital 1 Production and Aston and Floyd Francis Barrett of Fams House Production.

The song is a powerful expression of King‘s deep love for Ethiopia and its people. He explains the inspiration behind the record in the following statement.

“I want to use my voice to bring attention to the struggles of the people in Ethiopia and all Africa and also solutions that can bring about peace and harmony for the future. With everything that’s going on in the country right now, I felt like it was important to use my voice to bring attention to the situation and to inspire people to take action. I hope that this song can be a source of hope and inspiration for the people of Ethiopia and for all those who love the country. Reggae music is known for addressing these types of issues with songs like ‘Zimbabwe’ by Bob Marley and ‘Apartheid’ by Peter Tosh.”
