Live: JIMMY CLIFF support JALEX at folkets Park Malmö 2nd July Tickets @ www.ticnet.se 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. more info: www.jimmycliff.com/v-css/tour 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, more info: www.jalexonline.com www.malmofolketspark.se/nojen/stora-scenen _______________________________________ 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!

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. info: www.myspace.com/governorandyonline 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. info: www.djconfuze.com www.myspace.com/djconfuze 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.

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 www.myspace.com/rezaafzali JALEX Malang Touray, aka Jalex, was born in the town of Bakau, in the Gambia.

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.

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.” www.colliebuddz.com www.myspace.com/colliebuddz ABOUT NEW KINGSTONBAND(Jam/US): consists of three brothers, they have been in the reggae industry for some time now; some might call them "young veterans".

| Pride music, Reggaewarriors and M.E presents LIVE: COCOA TEA AISHA DAVIS (JaM) plus a tribute to LUCKY DUBE Friday 16th november 2007 at Tangoplatset malmö Entré: 180:-sk inadvance Tickets: Kulturcentralen 040-10 20 30 www.kulturcentralen.nu Adress: Amilalsgatan 44 more info: Cocoa Tea www.myspace.com/rumtalk2729 www.artistsonly.com/cocoa.htm info: Aisha Davis www.aishadavismusic.com www.myspace.com/aishadavismuzik 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?". |

Rosad i Europa och U S A har Habib Koite gått från klarhet till klarhet i sin musikkarriär. I hans musik hittar du spår från flera anrika traditioner i Malis rika musikkultur. Habib Koite har lyckats föra samman dessa olika rytmer till en melodisk, samtida musik, alltid ackompanjerat av hans nästintill magiska gitarrspelande. Tillsammans med sitt storband Bamada, där bl a balofon-virtuosen Kélétigui Diabaté spelar, kommer de att få oss känna ökensanden under fötterna, solen bränna och svetten lacka!

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 www.sizzla.org www.myspace.com/sizzlakalonji Date: 10th June Open: 20.00 - 24.00 On stage: 21.00 E-Fee: 270:- SK Ticket: www.ticnet.se www.kulturcentralen.nu ID/Age: 13 yrs KB,Bergsg 18 Malmö-Sweden more info: www.kuturbolaget.se Warm up and After party by Reggaewarriors dj's |
