Watusi: Spreading One Love Through Reggae Vibes

Image
Dallas, Texas, isn't exactly the first place that comes to mind when you think reggae. But for over 30 years, Watusi, a true Texas reggae legend [Encore Productions], has been bringing the good vibes with their infectious rhythms and message of unity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jimi Watusi (@jimiwatusi) I recently had the pleasure of catching up with Jimi Watusi, the band's frontman, and his passion for spreading peace and love through music was truly inspiring. "We come from all corners of the globe," Jimi explained, "but on stage, we're a family, united by the one love reggae spirit." Watusi's music is a beautiful blend of classic reggae with a touch of worldbeat [ReverbNation]. Their sound is guaranteed to get your head nodding and your heart smiling. But it's the message that truly resonates. "We want our music to be a beacon of hope," Jimi told me. "A reminder that even in these crazy t...

From Reggae Rockstar to Gospel Crusader: The Epic Journey of Shalom! #Reggae #Gospel #MusicLegend

Image
SHALOM!!! Get ready for a reggae redemption story that will have you shouting "Hallelujah!" and skanking to the beat all at once. Today, we delve into the incredible life and music of Stephen Omar Harper, better known by his stage names: Stevie Wonder (yes, you read that right!), and the mighty Shalom! Shalom's journey began in 1968, in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica. Music coursed through his veins from a young age, with the eight-year-old already belting out tunes. Fate intervened when he met the legendary Sugar Minott, founder of Youth Man Promotion Recording Studio. This is where Stevie Wonder, the name (don't ask!), transformed into a teenage reggae enthusiast soaking up knowledge under the wing of a master.   Sugar Minott Those early days saw Shalom touring the globe as a backup vocalist alongside the likes of the late Jennifer Lara. He crisscrossed continents, experiencing the electric energy of reggae fans in England, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, the US, an...

Reefer Madness: The Gateway Drug Myth Debunked

Reefer Madness: The Gateway Drug Myth Debunked Alright, folks, let's talk about the elephant in the room, or should we say the giant bag of buds?  For decades, we've been bombarded with the propaganda that marijuana is a gateway drug, leading users down a dark path to heroin and beyond. But is there any truth to this claim? Let's take a hilarious trip through history and expose this reefer madness for what it is: a bunch of bunk. Hemp History: From George Washington to Reefer Madness In the early days of the US, hemp, a close relative of marijuana, was an agricultural superstar.  George Washington himself cultivated hemp!  But in the 1930s, things took a turn for the wacky.  Reefer Madness, a propaganda film portraying marijuana as a dangerous substance, whipped up a frenzy of fear.  Hemp, unfortunately, got lumped in with its psychoactive cousin, and both were demonized. Fast forward to the Fun Facts Here's some scientific bud for your brain:  * Studies ha...

One Love: Bob Marley's Story Rocks the DVD Realm!

Image
  Roots Reggae Runs Deep: Bob Marley's One Love Arrives on DVD! Having dedicated the last two decades to chronicling the Marley legacy, there's no understatement in saying I was over the moon to attend the Jamaican premiere of "Bob Marley: One Love." Now, the wait is finally over – the roots reggae masterpiece lands on DVD today! This biopic isn't your average documentary. It's a cinematic journey into the soul of a legend. Director Denis Arcand masterfully weaves a tapestry of Marley's life, from his humble beginnings in Nine Miles to the meteoric rise of the Wailers. We witness the struggles, the triumphs, the unwavering passion that fueled Bob's revolutionary music. Kingsley Ben-Adir embodies the spirit of the reggae king with stunning authenticity. Witnessing his portrayal of Marley's rise to stardom alongside the legendary Rita Marley (played by the luminous Lashana Lynch) sent shivers down my spine. But "One Love" is more than jus...
