Reggaeveteranen EEK-A-MOUSE till KB 12 maj 2010
Hans album Eek-A-Nomics, från år 1988, etablerade honom hos den internationella publiken, club hiten “The Freak” föddes och han blev signad till skivbolaget Island Records år 1989. Han återtog sedan tronen med albumet “U-Neek” år 1991, som spann vidare på den rock-orienterade stilen bland annat med en cover-version av Led Zed Zeppelins “D´Yer Maker” och hit singeln “You Are The One I Need”.
Eek A Mouse var gästsångare på alternative metal bandet P.O.D,’s album Satellite. Han lånade ut sin säregna röst till rock-reggae låten “Ridiculous”. Han kan också höras på California baserade ska-punk bandet OPM’s album “For Them Asses”, en blandning av hip hop, rock och pop med laid-back reggae på låten “Perfect day.”
Med sin unika stil är han en av föregångarna för singjay-stilen. Eek A Mouses använder ett komp som inte är digital dancehall och inte heller en toasters rytm lånad från någon annan låt. Han är fullkomligt unik, vilket är svårt att säga om någon annan artist inom vilken genre som helst. Eek A Mouses stil är helt enkelt underhållande att lyssna till, som i den underbart lekfulla "Peeni Walli" eller hiten "Wa-Do-Dem”.

FEMI KUTI the son of the legendary start
FELA KUTI (Nieria)
in concert live & direct at KB-Malmö, Sweden monday 26th April 2010.
Det här bör ni inte missa!
AFROBEAT MED LEGENDEN FELA KUTIS SON FEMI
Musik som känns i mage och hjärta, som rycker i benen och fastnar i hjärnan. En resa genom den afrikanska paradoxen, från Lagos getton till korrumperade politiker.
Femi Kuti är son till den legendariske afrobeat-pionjären och nigerianske revolutionären Fela Kuti. Afrobeat är en blandning av jazz, funk och traditionell afrikansk sång där afrikanska slagverk blandas med sång och blåsinstrument. Femi föddes i London 1962 men är uppvuxen i Lagos, Nigeria. Redan som 15-åring började han som saxofonist i faderns band. För att 1986 bilda sitt egna band, Positive Force.
Han har precis som sin far haft ett stort socialt och politiskt engagemang i Nigeria. Med stor respekt för sitt kulturarv har han under mer än 20 år utforskat och förfinat sin stil, till en afrobeat med nyanser av soul-jazz som kommit att bli hans kännetecken. Hans mål var aldrig att kopiera faderns musik utan att utforska den. Han har genom att tänja på gränserna också lyckats nå en ny publik som aldrig hört talats om Fela.

Lee "Scratch" Perry
Support Roots Alliance
Fredagen 5:e Februari är det dags för Bob Marley's 65 års kalas & det ska
vi fira med att traditionsenligt köra Bob Marley Celebration party på KB.
Bob Marley var och är ännu den störste reggaeprofilen genom tiderna och
dessutom en av Tredje världens främsta musikartister. Att beskriva Marley
med ord är ingen lätt uppgift, Timothy Withe som skrev biografin Catch A
Fire, sade att Marley var ett magert lejon som rörde sig som en spindel
och levde som en ande. Bob Marley är den som satte reggae och Jamica på
kartan
Denna gång har vi äran att presentera självaste Lee Perry! Lee, även
kallad "Scratch" Perry har en imponerande samling skivsläpp bakom sig.
Första singeln gav han ut 1959 och han har sedan dess gett ut 100 tals
releaser. Bland annat Disco Devil, Roast Fish Collie Weed & Corn Bread,
Super Ape, Return Of The Super Ape för att nämna några. Han är också
ytterst ansvarig för uppfinnandet av genren Reggae & Dub. Förra gången han
spelade på KB för 5 år sedan gjorde han en oförglömlig konsert, vi vågar
utlovar en repris & med dom berömda cd skivorna fastklistrade
förhoppningsvis :D
There is no better celibration than to have one of Bob Marleys producers
and friend Lee "Scratch" Perry Perform Live band @ KB. Friday 5 Feb

tillgängligt -- idag är Kilema en mästare på de traditionella
instrumenten Marovany, Kabosy och Katsa. Madagaskars själ finns med i
allt som Kilema gör!
Den soliga ön Madagaskar fostrar fantastisk musik! Ett av de tydligaste
exemplen är Kilema. Redan som 12 åring började han spela med lokala band
och tillverka rustika instrument av det som fanns tillgängligt.
Strängarna till instrumenten skapades av gamla vajrar från cyklar.
Kilema blev relativt snart professionell artist och startade sitt första
egna band 1997. Kilema har även spelat med Justin Vali Trio på Peter
Gabriels skivetikett Real World och var under många år ett av
huvudnumren på densammes musikfestival, Womad.

med sitt band som består av hans bror Nesta och de spanska musikerna
Pedro Delgado och Miguel Navarro de Vera. Kilema är en mästare på de
traditionella instrumenten Marovany, Kabosy och Katsa. Kilema har

OUMOU SANGARÉ -- World Mix
7 november
Kulturbolaget -- KB
Bergsgatan 18
Kl 21.00
Afrikas klarast lysande sångstjärna!
Oumou Sangaré, från Mali, även känd som "sångfågeln från Wasulu" är
erkänd som den största kvinnliga afrikanska stjärnan i sin generation.
Hon har genom sina texter och sitt engagemang för kvinnors rätt blivit
en stark förebild för många. Men det är genom sin sång som hon
trollbinder oss.
Musiken är starkt påverkad och influerad av den musikaliska tradition
och kultur som präglar den region, Wasulu i södra Mali, där Oumou
Sangaré växte upp. Kraften i den musiken vill Oumou Sangaré kunna
överföra till sin egen musik. Men det som gör Oumou Sangaré speciell är
hennes ständiga vilja till utveckling. Hennes odiskutabla karisma och
naturliga utstrålning från scenen har gjort henne till den superstar hon
är inom den afrikanska musiken idag. Vi kan se fram emot en kväll som
kommer att värma oss ända in i själen. Att få se och höra Oumou Sangaré
på scen här i Malmö är något vi har längtat länge efter. Missa inte
denna konsert om du vill ta del av en av de finaste och mest fängslande
nu levande afrikanska sångerskorna.

FRIDAY 23RD OF OCTOBER
LIVE AND DIRECT FROM JAMAICA
SIZZLA KALONJI
feat. TEFLON (Jam)!
Support by DJ Wilson Soto, Jimi Rebel, Mr
Jim & Besh One don't miss out!!
About: www.myspace.com/sizzlakalonji
SIZZLA KALONJI is one of the most prolific leaders of the conscious Reggae
dancehall movement. He made is debut single in 1995 and helped lead
dancehall back to the musical and spiritual influence of roots reggae and
heavily Rastafarian subject matter. A run of successful singles followed
up and led to the release of Sizzla's debut album "Burning Up". But his
major breakthrough came with the release in 1997 of the now classic album
"Black Woman and Child" on Greensleeves Records. The album beared all the
hallmarks of Bobby 'Digital' Dixon's dancehall-influenced production and
the impact on both the reggae and mainstream markets was phenomenal. Along
with universal praise came Sizzla's first nomination for Best
International Reggae Artist of the Year at the 1998 MOBO Awards and a
place in various magazines' top 100 albums of the year. Overall his music
is generally positive, advocating faith, compassion for poor black youth,
and respect for women. He remains something of an enigma to the public at
large, rarely granting interviews and keeping his concert appearances to a
minimum! Nonetheless, he still ranks as arguably the most popular
conscious reggae artist of his time. A versatile singjay-style vocalist
with a gruff, gravelly tone, he is capable of both rapid fire chatting,
powerful, melodic singing, and his best backing riddims are among the
strongest in contemporary dancehall. Sizzla Kalonji has released over 45
impressive solo albums and over fifteen combination albums, crossing
different genres of Reggae. The number of mix tapes on the street are
countless.
About: www.myspace.com/teflonyardalove
SHANIEL WATSON, aka 'TEFLON' which means 'Teach E Forever Love all Over
the Nation' is one of Jamaica's most promising conscious reggae artist's!
Highly influenced by the likes of Sizzla Kalonji, Bob Marley, Capleton,
Buju Banton, Cocoa Tea and Beres Hammond he started making music on his
own. Since his debut single "Bless Me Jah" Teflon has produced a multiple
amount of great singles and gaining support by all the major reggae elite.
Now touring with Sizzla Kalonji as his warm up singer you can be sure this
guy is going big!
Don't miss this chance to see them live in concert, it will be legendary!!

Kvällen avslutas med utomhusbio med filmen SEX, OKRA and Salted Butter
(regi Mahamat-Saleh Haroun Tchad/Frankrike 2008)
Harouns första spelfilm Bye Bye Africa (1999) vann pris för bästa
långfilmsdebut vid Venedigs filmfestival. Daratt (2006) vann stora
jurypriset i Venedig. Harvard Film Archive kallar Haroun ”en ledstjärna
inom afrikansk film”.
Sex, Okra and Salted Butter är en varm och underfundig historia om en
afrikansk familjs öden och äventyr i den franska staden Bordeaux.
Sambou was born in Banjul in the early 70s and unlike most young Gambian artists, she hails from a griot family that really gave her a jumpstart in her musical career. From 1991 to date, she has released several of singles including 'mindaan du diaam' which instantly became a hit song. Her album is in the productions and will be out very soon. A song entitled 'Bunia', Mandinka for'respect' from her upcoming album has been released on a music video entitled 'Da fatang 2' under the Jololi label in Senegal and internationally. Sambou's singing style with her strong and piercing voice could be compared to the likes of Mama Draba of Mali and Sona Tata Conde of Guinnea. She mainly sings Manding, a West African style music probably originating from Mali but popular throughout the sub-region but has co-recorded songs with a number of Gambian musicians including Kora player Jaliba Kuyateh, reggae artist Singateh aka Freaky Joe, Hamaleh G reggae group and many more. Crowned Best Gambian Female musician in 2000, a title that she won again in 2001 and in 2003. In 2005 she won the tiltle of 'Best National artist'.

JIMMY CLIFF (Jam/Uk)
Greetings to everyone ,my name is Jimmy Cliff, actor, music innovator,
singer, songwriter, music producer, "Artivist", businessman, and much
more... I took on to myself that name with the intension of establishing
myself thoughout this Planet, as high as the Cliff's of Adelphi Land where
I was told I was born which seemed like the highest peak on the Earth to
me as a child. Adelphi Land is a village in the District of Somerton in
the parish of St James Jamaica an Island in the Caribbean sea. That
mission of establishing myself is more then half way there.
My parents named me James Chambers at birth and today they remain my hero
and "Shero". I was making music from the day I came out of my mothers
woomb and said "AAAH" and I was acting since I can remember I could walk
and laugh like my mother. People would pay me to do that so acting is what
I loved to do most and even today I think I am better at that than
singing/songwriting. I discovered I had a very unique voice in primary
school and at the Pentacostal Church my family went to.
When the political landscape was changing in Jamaica as the Island had
became independent from Britain, so the music was up beat expressing the
spirit of the people to this change hence we got Ska an uptempo upbeat
rhythm.

JALEX (Gam)
Malang Touray, aka Jalex, was born in the town of Bakau, in the Gambia.
The Grandson of a famous Griot, Jali Foday, he has been inspired by music
since his early childhood - an inspiration that came from his
grandfather's great work as a cultural musician. Jalex has evolved his
own, very distinctive style of music, which he titles "Afro-Afric". The
first single came back in 1997. Entitled Afrika Kairo (Peace in Africa),
his first track made comment on the state of Africa at the time, and
called on all Africans to open there eyes, and see what the constant
fighting and unrest is doing to such a beautiful continent.A brief spell
as a member of a band, Dextrous Squad, followed, but was not long lived.
The band split, but Jalex continued to develop his musical style and
songwriting skills over the next few years, performing as a solo
artist.The release of Kana Kideh, on video clip, led to regular plays on
GRTS, on shows such as Goudi Samdi. A chance meeting in February 2006
brought Jalex together with Gary Jones, a British national, and the
sponsorship that such a talented artist deserved had been found. First a
website was developed, then the recording of the album, followed by
production of CD's in the UK, and the recent video clip for Duniyaa. The
success of Kana Kideh has been repeated, and this clip too is played
regularly on GRTS. Gary is now Jalex's Manager, and working hard to ensure
Jalex's music can each as wide an audience as possibel.The new Hit Album
"Soma Alfaa" was released in the Gambia in February 2007, to wide acclaim
on TV and Radio in the Gambia. In March 2007, Jalex's song "Nmala Moola
Bi" was voted the winner of West Coast Radio's "Smiling Coast Riddim"
competition, by the station's listeners during the on air vote, beating
songs by a line up of Gambia's finest talents of today, such as Njie B,

Friday 6th of June;
RAI KUNG CHEB KHALED
at Folkets park malmö
RAI KUNG CHEB KHALED, världens mest framgångsrika arabiska artist till
Malmö 6/6 med fredsbudskap!Sverige har sedan länge varit ett land med
plats för många nationaliteter, med rum för både historia och förnyelse.
Vår nationella identitet måste bygga på en vilja att integrera både gamla
och nya svenskar i en gemenskap som ger hemkänsla, trygghet och
samhörighet för alla invånare. En familje-nationaldagfest i mångfaldens
tecken blir det i Folkets Park fredagen den 6 juni med kungen av Rai;
KHALED!
Khaled, som är arabvärldens mest sålda artist någonsin, föddes 1960 i Sidi
El-Houri, Algeriet. I början av 80-talet bannlystes Khaleds musik från
radio och TV av den algeriska regimen. Khaled flyttade till Paris 1986 och
blev en stor stjärna bland de nordafrikanska emigranterna i Frankrike.
Så småningom blev han den förste algeriske artisten att få ett kontrakt
med ett stort franskt skivbolag och albumet Khaled med singeln Didi blev
en megasuccé och sålde över en miljon exemplar i hela världen!1996 fick
Khaled åter en hit med sin första fransksjungande låt Aicha. Den sålde i
700.000 exemplar enbart i Frankrike (Danska hiphopgruppen Outlandish
gjorde en skön cover på den 2004.)
Khaled flyttade till Frankrike 1985 alldeles efter att ha anordnat den
första Rai-Festivalen i Algeriet, en framgång för denna musikgenre som
tidigare hade mötts med förakt. Men efter festivalen kände sig Khaled
tvungen att flytta, både för att undkomma det eskalerande våldet i
Algeriet och för att musiken skulle få utvecklas. Raien är en populärmusik
som utvecklades under 1940-talet i den algeriska hamnstaden Oran i mötet
mellan arabiska musikformer, spansk musik och jazz. Rai betyder åsikt .
Khaled förbereder en turné som bland annat leder honom till Malmö 6/6,
Göteborg 7/6 och Stockholm 8/6.Khaled är fortfarande kungen av rai och
superaktuell med albumet "1, 2, 3 Soleils"
Vi lever i en värld där vi inte ser något annat än skräckbilder, vi ser
bara onda saker Musiken ger en möjlighet att känna vad lycka är i dag, när
man ser alla hemskheter på television. Mänskligheten behöver musiken ,
säger Khaled.Khaled talar om den arabisk-judiska kulturen, och refererar
till raiens vagga i Oran.Med på sin turné har han denna gången bjudit med
musiker som var med då, på 40- och 50-talen: algeriern Blaoui Houari,
raiens urfader, och Maurice Medioni, judisk pianist som var stjärna på
Orans kabaréer där fransk chanson mixades med amerikansk boogie och
latinamerikanska synkoper!
- Jag vill gifta ihop raien med r´n´b, reggae och blues, säger han. Inom
musiken finns inte jude eller arab, europé eller kristen, de kan alla
spela tillsammans!

GOVERNOR ANDY
Redan som 15 åring fick han upp ögonen för reggae i och med filmen The
Harder They Come med Jimmy Cliff i huvudrollen. Karriären inom den svenska
reggaescenen tog snurr som sångare i bandet Fri Fart 1979 och följdes upp
med turnerade med bandet Pink Patchos 1981-1987. Samtidigt gjorde Andy en
hel del Soundsystemgig med Papa Bull (Ambassadors Sound). 1991 flyttade
Andy till Stockholm och var med och startade Trinity Sound 1993, Slingshot
Sound 1998 och Sveriges nu största reggaeklubb Club Studio One 2001.
Nöjesguiden utnämnde 1997 Governor Andy till Stockholms Nöjesförbättrare
efter lång och trogern tjänst med ett otal reggaeklubbar. På egen etikett
gavs singeln ?Internet" ut 1997, men debutalbumet som soloartist kom först
2002 med debut-albumet "Torra Benens Dal" på Sonet/Universal. Governor
Andy har även medverkat på ett av Petters album och en stor mängd andra
artisters låtar. På sitt andra album har han med utmärkt resultat själv
bjudit in vokalisterna Million Styles och Junior Eric. Som det visat sig
har Governor Andy alltid bevarat reggaefanan i topp och på senaste plattan
?Som Salomos sång? hörs blytunga rytmer, såväl som uppfräschade klassiker,
producerade av Partillo, Mastah L & Niceness för KBC Music som tillsammans
tagit fram ett mycket modernt roots sound som passar Andys röst
förträffligt. På albumet fortsätter Andy att med sin egen patenterade
sång/toaststil att propagera för reggaekulturen och sin förhållning till
rastafari med kritiskt tänkande mot den skeva världsordningen. Han gör det
stundtals med stort allvar i rösten, ibland med lekfullhet och glimten i
ögat såsom vi alla vet Governor Andy gör bäst av alla när han står
utrustad med micken i hand.

DJ CONFUZE:
Efter att ha battlat ut deltagare i olika DJ tävlingar för att slutligen
vinna DJ-SM 2003, har nu DJ Confuze (Marko Purgaj) de senaste 5 åren
fokuserat på att vara en av Sveriges duktigaste klubb-DJ´s. Där har han
också fått erkännande genom att 2 år i rad vinna titeln "BÄSTA DJ" i
Sveriges största hip-hop gala, The Swedish Hip-Hop Awards. Och som om det
inte vore nog han har genom sitt arbete med Klubb Blenda vunnit
Nöjesguidens Göteborgspris för "BÄSTA KLUBB" år 2003. Med sin avancerade
men funkiga scratch och sin passion för musik har han lyckats kombinera en
spelstil som både passar dansgolvet och DJ-tävlingar. Detta har gjort att
han har spelat i hela Europa och öppnat för många stora artister såsom 50
Cent, Beatnuts, John Legend, Looptroop samt spelat på stora festivaler som
Hultsfred, Göteborgskalaset, Malmöfestivalen, osv.
När han inte är ute på vägarna och spelar driver han några av de största
hip-hop klubbarna i Göteborg; The Jump och Club Welcome. Han har även
varit med och drivit Sveriges främsta och mest respekterade hip-hop klubb,
Fatmilk. GZA (Wu-Tang), Tha Liks (Alkoholiks), Masta Ace, Jeru The Damaja,
Slum Village och Atmosphere är bara några av artisterna som har besökt
Fatmilk under dess 10 framgångsrika år. För att fira jubileet åkte DJ
Confuze tillsammans med DJ Dainja (Fatmilks grundare), Timbuktu, Looptroop
och Spotrunnaz december 2005 till Joe´s Pub i New York för att visa vad
hip-hop Sverige har att erbjuda.

DJ JANNIZ
Har spelat skivor sedan 1988 och är en veteran dj inom rnb & hiphopscenen
i skåne, 1989 ställde Janniz upp i Dj SM för att ett år senare, 1990
skratcha hem en 2:a plats i DMC DJ SM. Janniz specialitet är R&B,HIP HOP &
SOUL´N´FUNK. Hans varumärke är att alltid på ett lysande sätt mixa ihop
den rätta stämningen & hålla publiken sysselsatt på dansgolvet "all night
long"! Vid sidan av dj:andet bestämde Janniz sig för att börja producera
egen musik. Han träffade rapparen Jason och ?Timbuktu? var ett faktum.
Mellan 1991-93 gjorde de en hel del produktioner och uppträdande
tillsammans som ?Ruze & Jay / och Fusion of Phases. Efter Timbuktu så
började han att exprimentera musikaliskt vilket resulterade i singlarna
?spittin on my name? under namnet Abztrazt (1995) och ?I need your love?
under namnet Deep Control (1996). Efter detta musikaliska flackande kom
han tillbaka med att producera hip hop dängan ?Vem vill hem??(Advance
Patrol) tillsammans med dj kollegan Dj More-10. Låten ligger med på 2001
års kritikerrosade svenska hip hop samling ?Ordkrig?. År 2000 tog han över
den populära r&b & hip hop klubben ?Hemlig? från grundaren Olog Stuermer.
5år senare är "Hemlig" en av Sveriges längst existerande & välrenomerade
rnb & hiphop klubbar. Med ett dj team bestående av Janniz och dj
kollegerna Reza, Rodde & Charles har de levererat över 340 grymma
klubbkvällar. Klubben blev nominerad till ?bästa klubb? år 2001 vid
Nöjesguidens årliga prisutdelning. Med drivkraft och lust att starta
någonting nytt öppnade han & en kollega våren 2005 upp månadsklubben One
på Jeriko i Malmö & succén var ett faktum...
DJ REZA
RS Influenced is Reza Afzila and Scott Soden. The project is born out of
Malmö Sweden and New York?s underground dance scene. The duo first
collaborated within Club Sweetness which Reza started in 2000. Sweetness
was nominated for best club in Sweden for two consecutive years by The
Scandinavian Dance Music Conversation Awards. The past couple of years,
Reza and Scott have been performing in the international underground
scenes in both the U.S and Europe. As Dj?s, Vj?s and Promtor; Rs
Influenced has worked with global acts such as: Dj Pierre, Derrik May,
Kevin Saunderson, Phil Asher, Aaron Ross, Mr.V, K-Alexi, Dj T, Booka
Shade, Matthew Dear, Swayzak, Funk..D Void, Azzido da bass, Blaze, Joel
Mull, John Dahlbäck, Ozgur Can, Bebbe Loda, Spankrock, Tim Sweeney, Patrik
Skoog (Agaric), Micheal Mayer (Kompakt Records), Sleeparchive, Soul
Central, Minilogue and many more. Reza Afzila (Iran/Sweden) Reza first
arrived to Sweden at the age of 11 from Tehran Iran. Back in Iran he was
exposed to various forms of native folk music that caught his ear. He
claims that it wasn?t so much the melodies that interested him but the
beats that had an impact on the listener. In 1990 Reza invested all his
money to start his notoriously massive record collection. He purchased
almost every genre of sound from rock, hip-hop to soul. One year later, he
started spinning housey soul-funk hip-hop which earned him a residency by
the age16 at an illegal club named Funk House in Gothenburg Sweden. In
the mid-90's, Reza started a buzz which he then traveled throughout
Scandinavia playing at clubs. In 1997 he moved back to Malmö and opened
Street Records shop that focused mainly on dance and urban style music. At
this time he went into the studio and started producing with old friends.
Reza then closed his shop and worked at Folk Rock (south Sweden's best
record store); focused only on Djíng and found his talent as a promoter as
well. Over the years that followed till the present, he has been and still
is responsible for a majority of south Sweden's biggest and most important
happenings in dance and urban music history

JALEX
Malang Touray, aka Jalex, was born in the town of Bakau, in the Gambia.
The Grandson of a famous Griot, Jali Foday, he has been inspired by music
since his early childhood - an inspiration that came from his
grandfather's great work as a cultural musician.
Jalex has evolved his own, very distinctive style of music, which he
titles "Afro-Afric". The first single came back in 1997. Entitled Afrika
Kairo (Peace in Africa), his first track made comment on the state of
Africa at the time, and called on all Africans to open there eyes, and see
what the constant fighting and unrest is doing to such a beautiful
continent.A brief spell as a member of a band, Dextrous Squad, followed,
but was not long lived. The band split, but Jalex continued to develop his
musical style and songwriting skills over the next few years, performing
as a solo artist.The release of Kana Kideh, on video clip, led to regular
plays on GRTS, on shows such as Goudi Samdi.
A chance meeting in February 2006 brought Jalex together with Gary Jones,
a British national, and the sponsorship that such a talented artist
deserved had been found. First a website was developed, then the recording
of the album, followed by production of CD's in the UK, and the recent
video clip for Duniyaa. The success of Kana Kideh has been repeated, and
this clip too is played regularly on GRTS. Gary is now Jalex's Manager,
and working hard to ensure Jalex's music can each as wide an audience as
possibel.The new Hit Album "Soma Alfaa" was released in the Gambia in
February 2007, to wide acclaim on TV and Radio in the Gambia. In March
2007, Jalex's song "Nmala Moola Bi" was voted the winner of West Coast
Radio's "Smiling Coast Riddim" competition, by the station's listeners
during the on air vote, beating songs by a line up of Gambia's finest
talents of today, such as Njie B, Heartbreaker, Marion....... Jalex's
distinctive, melodious voice and lyrics appealed to the public, and the
fact that he remains true to who he is and where he is from, singing
mainly in Mandinka on all his songs, has led to a great deal of respect
from public and media alike. Mention the name "Jalex", and the reply will
come "Yes....he's the guy who sings in Mandinka...."
The CD continues to be popular in the Gambia. Jalex has recorded a
promotional video and jingle for Gambia's Number One TV show, Goudi Samdi,
hosted by Ansumana Drammeh, as well as working with Africell to produce a
jingle and other promotional work.
By November 2007, Jalex'spopularity in the Gambia had reached almost fever
pitch! His trademark of stopping songs during performances, and starting
them again has led to him being known also as "Akuntu" ("Cut it") - the
shouts from the crown during shows! As Jalex himself says " If the music
is nice....play it twice!!"
Interest in this extremely talented and versatile artist continues to
grow, and an international breakthrough is widely expected, and will be
thoroughly deserved.
March 2007 - Winner - The Smilin Coast Riddim(Gambia)
June 2007 - Winner - Best New Artist - UK Senegambian Awards 2007 (UK)
January 2008 - Nyamato played twice on BBC 1Xtra by DJ EDu in the UK.

COLLIE BUDDZ, NEW KIGSTON BAND and PEE-WEE
ABOUT COLLIE BUDDZ(US/Bermuda):
Support:
MEDINA
Born in New Orleans, raised on the isle of Bermuda with intermittent stays
in urban Toronto, Colin Harper is not an easy youth to pin down
geographically. His musical alter ego Collie Buddz however, is one of the
most firmly grounded voices you may ever encounter. Incorporating
influences from hip-hop to soca, Collie’s music nevertheless has a
rock-solid foundation in reggae - and its power to connect ghetto reality
with the highest heights of human aspiration - that is a rarity even in
Jamaica.
Born in 1981, at the dawn of the turbulent era signaled by the twin omens
of Bob Marley’s passing and Ronald Reagan’s election, Collie was immersed
in the sound system culture of Bermuda aka “The Rock” since the age of 6.
“I used to come home from primary school and my brother would always be on
the turntables, playin his new 45's an' I'd just be there vibesin'.” The
evolution of dancehall and sound-clash culture into a movement of it’s own
in the late 80s and early 90s set the backdrop for young Collie’s
discovery of his own sonic identity, and the dancehall kings of that
generation - Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man served as his
primary influences. “Back when Beenie and Bounty used to war lyrically,
seeing clashes wit’ Kilimanjaro an all the sound-man an’ everyt’ing…the
whole music scene for me took on a new meaning. Clash thing an’ lyrical
war became a part of my daily life from early out.”
The daily operation of trading lyrics in schoolyard clashes quickly gave
way to more serious combat as “…people startin sayin ‘Ay, Buddz got some
lyrics!’ From an early age, some of the local sounds on the island wanted
to get me on dubplate,” says Collie, who stepped into the first of many
vocal booths at age 16 to voice customized dubs for some Bermudian sounds.
"Sounds was always trying to buss local artists in Bermuda.” Consistent
encouragement from the various soundmen and engineers he encountered on
those dub excursions led Collie to maintain a musical focus and eventually
trek to Florida for a degree in audio engineering, a path that ended
behind the boards of his own Bermudian studio, jointly run with his older
brother (Smokey) and Sneek Success from one of Bermuda's founding sounds,
'Newclear Weapon'. Building riddims for other artists only expanded his
love for writing and voicing his own lyrics however. “I used to make these
beats an’ none of the tunes came out how I pictured an artist sittin’ on
de riddim, so I decided to start to get in the booth myself again and spit
some lyrics. Unless my brother engineerin’ for me, I’m runnin from the
board to the booth, back to the board!” Like boot camp for a one-man army,
that experience molded the signature vocal style that defines Collie Buddz
- a songwriter who can lay his own riddim, sing the hook and chat on the
verse. “I build de riddim first and while I’m building it I don’t try an’
think about lyrics ‘cause I'm tryin' to focus on the riddim, yunno? I make
it sound as best I can and then for a day or two I rest my ears then start
de writing process. I come up wif a melody firs’ and get that down, then
start with the lyrics.” The skill with which he compartmentalizes multiple
roles in the studio also extends to his easy movement between styles.
A falsetto that combines the singsong lover’s rock appeal of a carnival
crooner like Rupee with the deeper emotional catch of Bob Marley or
Sizzla, Collie’s voice sits with equal comfort over the jump-up pace of
ragga-soca, 4/4 hip-hop beats or an achingly slow one drop. Most
strikingly on tunes like “My Everything” he finds both the drive of
dancehall and the bluesy edge of roots in a frenetic polyrhythm built
around the Latin horns of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance,” an up-tempo track
that could be just as home in a Trinidad carnival as a UK discothèque.
“Some tunes I create are just to show that I could do anything I put my
mind to,” he explains “to show the versatility of my style.” For many
artists such versatility can be a curse and only a select few can maintain
a distinctive voice when so many styles come so easy. But on tracks like
“Moving On,” the layers of competing influences seem less like
contradictions and more like necessary stages in the development of a
larger persona, something like the succession of roles from pimp, to
preacher, to something like a revolutionary that formed Malcolm X. Instead
of pulling the song apart, the warring elements are all somehow essential
to a larger vision reflected in his lyrics: “Feel like me cyan move an’
trap in a cage / still searchin’ for the words to put ‘pon the page…” It’s
that discovery of timeless roots even within the sweatiest dancehall track
that marks the culmination of Collie’s growth.
“Nowadays when I go to put on a CD, its old tune: Alton Ellis, The
Meditations, The Heptones, Skatalites, Jacob Miller, Eric Monty Morris;
love the rockers music. From that I start to teach myself some of the
history of this music, that’s where I started to come a little more
versatile with the singin’…the foundation just straight reality, yunno. I
like dancehall, but de foundation and conscious tune really what me love.”

Kulturbolaget & Reggaewarriors present LIVE:
SEAN KINGSTONE (Jam/US)
Monday 25th of februari
Sean Kingston, the 17 year-old Miami born, Jamaica bred artist, is not
just a new face in popular music; he's accomplished the rare task of
creating a new genre where rap, reggae, pop, doo-wop and remarkable
songwriting all combine into something totally refreshing. Add in Sean's
family roots, which cite Jamaican legendary producer Jack Ruby as his
grandfather, and you have one of the most exciting debuts this year. And
while hip-hop lyrics have sparked the biggest debate in years, Sean finds
himself in the center of the controversy - but not where you might think.
The teen prefers to show his creativity without using profanity.
It's no wonder then that Sean is quickly becoming a household name with
his first single “Beautiful Girls,” a song cross-pollinating on both urban
and pop radio stations coast to coast. The unmistakable hit boasts the
instant hook of “Stand by Me” which acts like a muse for the song produced
by savant J.R. Rotem. Sean, who is the flagship artist on J.R.'s label
Beluga Heights, will release his debut album Sean Kingston on July 31 via
Beluga Heights/Epic.
“I heard the track ‘Stand By Me,' one night in the studio while listening
to the radio and asked J.R. if anyone had ever used that sample. He made
the beat immediately and I wrote down the lyrics within an hour – it
happened very quickly. I loved the way it turned out and I think my sound
is a lot different than what else is out there. It all just worked and we
knew we had something special with the track. I'm also singing about
something people can relate to – I'm singing about being in love with
someone who you think is your world but they don't see it that way and you
have to end the relationship.”
Kingston wants to make it clear that he is no cookie cutter artist that
has the songs mapped out for him - he comes up with 100 percent of his
lyrics. Sean also understands that as a 17 year-old making urban music he
has a responsibility to fans, “With this album I thought it was important
to not use curse words or negative language that might offend people. I
write my own songs so it's like if I can write a great track without using
those words, then that's the style for me.” Sean continues, “As an artist,
my whole goal is to make powerful and classic album. I want everyone to
feel my music and understand my heritage and that's what this album will
do. The music is all about the authentic Sean Kingston vibe. J.R. is a
talented dude and a dope producer and he heard that I had something
different to offer from other artists out there. Together we're a powerful
force and I'm ready to share it with the world.”
Sean talks about J.R. more like a big brother, rather than an Executive
Producer of his album. Last spring Sean reached out to J.R. on MySpace.
Sean was drawn to J.R. because he was young and hungry like himself and
felt like the music he was making was the type of music for him. Rotem
emailed him back. J.R. almost had no choice. “Sean would hit me up at
least three times a day!” J.R. says.
“He had a real distinct sound,” Rotem remembers. “I worked with some of
the best and I don't see why Sean can't grow to be one of them. His
potential is limitless.” Rotem invited Sean for a meeting in Los Angeles;
coincidentally the young performer was already in the process of moving to
California. Shortly after their initial meeting, Rotem had his flagship
artist for his Epic records joint venture, Beluga Heights. For Sean, it
was a prophecy beginning to be fulfilled. Not only is music his love, it
is in his blood. Now Kingston says he's looking forward to making timeless
music and living out his dream.
In just a short time, Kingston has already done what few in his age
bracket can accomplish - get people excited about music again. His album
is shaping up to be filled with a string of hits including the second
single “Me Love,” “Got No Shorty,” “There's Nothin,” “I Can Feel It” and
“Take You There.”
Perhaps one of the most eye opening tracks is “Dry Your Eyes” where Sean
visits the hardship of watching his mother and sister be sent to prison
when he was just 15 years-old. He sings to his mother and tells her not to
be saddened that she's away from the family and to know that they're
always there for her.
“I always had my brother,” he began to explain. “But when my mother and
sister went away, it took a lot out of me. My sister went away for four
months and my mom has been away for over a year now. When she went away, I
thought to myself, this is too much.' I was only 14. I missed her like
crazy but I pulled through and used it as my motivation. “Dry Your Eyes”
is a defining song on the album for me because it touches on something
that's very personal to me and the dope melody that's on there makes me
feel even closer to it.
”
Sean has a certified hip-hop knocker on his hands with the reggae remix of
“Colors” (Reggae Remix) which features the legendary Vybz Kartel and the
always profound Kardinal Offishall. The track, which was released this
past Spring, was received really well by the industry as a first look from
Sean and will appear on his album as a bonus track. “Unity and
representation is where Colors came from,” Kingston elaborated. “The song
is about representing whatever flag that you're loyal to – whether it is
Jamaica, the States, your block etc. It's a lifestyle record that can be a
street anthem no matter where you're from and where you at now. The reggae
version came up because I wanted to do something special for my roots in
Jamaica. The first person I thought of was Vybz Kartel. His verse came out
crazy. Then Kardinal, that's my homie, really attacked the track.”
“In the future I want to have my own label and work on the business side,”
he said. “I went to acting school when I was younger, so I want to revisit
that one day. I want to get into every aspect of the business and see
where it takes me. I'm grateful for the fact that my music is able to
bridge genres – I'm ready to do that will any business opportunity that
comes my way – it's always been important to for me not to limit myself.”

The Abyssinians & Black Uhuru
Måndag 26 november
The Abyssinians (JAM)
www.theabyssinians.com
Ett legendariskt jamaicaband bildat redan i slutet av 60-talet och som
allra mest kända för låten ”Satta Massagana” vars riddim återvänts av
åtskilliga reggaeartister genom åren. Låten ratades av skivbolaget och
bandet köpte själva tillbaka rättigheterna, vilket förmodligen är deras
bästa investering någonsin. Nu kommer äntligen rastafarikulturens stora
fanbärare till Sverige.
Black Uhuru (JAM)
www.artistsonly.com/blacku
Med klassiker som Guess Whos coming To Dinner, Red, I Love King Selasie,
Leaving To Zion, för att nämna några, är Black Uhuru en av de
reggaegrupper som rönt störst framgångar världen över efter Bob Marley.
Det var i början av 70-talet som Euvin ”Don Carlos” Spencer, Rudolph
”Garth” Dennis och Duckie Simpson startade gruppen som kom att bli dem
mest framgångsrika av andra generations reggaeband. 1985 var de den första
reggaegruppen någonsin att vinna en Grammy.

Singer Coco Tea (or Cocoa Tea as his stage name is often spelled) is a familiar name to the reggae massive in Jamaica and abroad as he has managed to establish his name in the forefront of conscious reggae music since he first recorded for the "Little Willie" label in the seventies.
Coco Tea was born Calvin Scott in the fishing village of Rocky Point, Clarendon JA, on September 3, 1959. He was also raised in this rural parish, which has produced its fair share of reggae talent as renown reggae artists such as Freddie McGregor, Barrington Levy, Toots Hibbert and Everton Blender were all born here too. Although one might expect that young Coco Tea had a love for the sea like most of the men in his village, he was more interested in music and thoroughbred racing at Caymanas Park. In those days he grew up listening to John Holt, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer. Of course, "The King Of Reggae" Bob Marley belongs to his early influences, but Bunny Wailer was definitely one of Coco Tea's strongest influences... "because of the way Jah Bunny always focused on the music itself, infusing it with passion, using it as a tool to reach people." Still a teenager he recorded his first song, "Searching In The Hills", in 1974. The single was far from successful and he took his mind off the music business for a while. The next 5 years Cocoa Tea first worked as a race horse jockey, and then as a fisherman. However, he returned to his musical pursuits and started testing his lyrics on the various sound systems that came to play in his area. His success in the dancehalls strengthened his purpose and encouraged him to go further, so he began writing songs and training his voice. In 1983, two months after an impressive performance at a dance, Coco Tea moved from the countryside to the big city of Kingston. "Life was the same because when you move you only go to a different place but it is still you," states Coco Tea when answering the question... "How did you experience your move from a rural area to Kingston?".

World leading reggaestar LUCKY DUBE murdered!!! This is a dark day for
mankind. Africa has lost one of its biggest musiclegends.
Lucky Dube is a victim of the struggle for racial equality,freedom and
unity.We all see what apartheid still do to South Africa blak, I can not
express my feelings I'm too upset by this senseless killing of a
tremendous icon.It was a honour for us to have him at reggaewarriors he
was a nice humble afrikan.
Reggaewarriors Crew and The Gambia as a whole will never forget Mr. Dube
and his family may his soul rest in perfect peace.

Beenie Man rightly proclaimed himself, King Of The Dancehall. Why?
Because when it comes to chats and riddems, Beenie Man is the alpha
and the omega.The 33-year-old Kingston native, born Moses Davis,
but better know 'round the world as Beenie Man, is the dancehall
movement personified. Releasing his first record, "Too Fancy"
at the tender age of 7-years-old in '81, Beenie has not only been
at the forefront of the genre ever since, but has been largely responsible
for growing it into the international phenomenon it is today.

SIZZLA KALONJI +
X-TERMINATOR Band (Jam) sunday 10th
of June
When the name Sizzla Kalonji is mentioned in Reggae circles, it provokes
an extreme response in all those present. Indeed, all who are not
present but are familiar with Sizzla's prolific work nonetheless would
be equally subject to that said extreme response if they should be
present. That is the mark of a truly innovative individual whose name
will undoubtedly stand the test of time due to the fact that the responses
evoked by Sizzla's name and his music are of no consequence. The sole
fact that the responses are extreme is the only issue at hand because
that in itself signifies Sizzla's power to affect the reggae loving
masses positively or negatively in a very potent way. Even those who
are turned off by his message will have to admit that Sizzla is truly
a gifted artist at the very least. On the other hand, those who are
positively inspired by his music will claim that he is the "King of
Reggae." www.sizzlakalonjiinc.com
