Here are some of my favorites:
I want to preface my words by saying - These are my Favorit Artists - That is - Not including Bob Marley who belongs to his
own category in my heart.
I also loved many other artist not specifically in the Reggae genre - Their name are Joe Dassin, Jonaz (Le chanteur de
Jazz), Akendegue, Manu Dibango, Kassav, Jaques Brel, Francis Cabrel, Toure Kounda, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, listened to
disco, funk, afro pop, jazz and many more genre that I hope will be infiltrating my vibes through my music and songs.
My Favs are mainly Reggae - but not only reggae - just dont have enough page on here to cover them all - but I promise
we'll get there with time and I will share most of the artist I enjoy with you all. I hope to be able to have a webradio and
why not a web tvstation soon so you can enjoy live streaming of many genres..
To God be the glory! and Praises.

Matisyahu - was mentionned to me by a friend - someone who kind of saved my life - Thx. He mentioned this guy about 5 month
ago. I checked his website and didn't find it unbelievable - Nice but not great. Then I heard his latest CD Live and It was
like whoah - This is real good...I enjoyed it so much felt like you should check him out.
Hi sstyle has some deep bass roots rythms and some great raping tings, and the poetry is nice. Over all the enrgy and
soul is awesome and the sound is super deep - thx to the band - This is a great first impression!!!
"Torah food for my brain let it rain til I drown, Thunder! Let the blessings come down!" - "King Without
a Crown" by Matisyahu
This is Pure and worthy - Praise be given to God!

Tiken Jah - From Ivory Coast
| Tiken Jah in Africa |
|
Tiken Jah is a new voice for African Reggae, but he's been around for a few years and really should become more known over
the next year or so.
He's got the best of the best working with him, the African sound and the old roots vibes.
Coup de Geule is an acoustic, analog, modern and old at the same time, splendid album. delightfull.
It is very politicaly realistic and denounce all the inequalities and horror that we know exit in Africa.
It reminds of Alpha for the good reasons, but it has more soul into it and more creativity. It sound fresh and pure. Really
- I still enjoy and love Alpha Blondy but this is real good and it should inspire more African Reggae Artist to do the same.

Magic System - Bouger Bouger!
Magic System is one of the bright shining star of African Music right now! The Band made of 4 guys, Asalfo, Goudé, Tino et
Manadja, is incredible. I got their CD after my parents had the joy to be at an evening in Gabon where they animated the party.
They loved it and bought me a CD. Now I listen to the CD in my car and at home and I tell you they are fantastic.
They move every one, even my kids who have never been to Africa are moving when they hear their songs. Transcending languages
and culture, their hot rythmes and songs are making people move, "bouger", and move and move :)
Of course if you understand their lyrics you get some out of it too, especially that song with Alpha Blongy where they
talk about the situation in Ivory Coast. But the best is when they hook up with latin rappers or French rappers I dont know,
but that is awesome...
They are fantastic and I hope we'll meet some day, but till them check them out!
Originaires d'Abidjan, Asalfo, Goudé, Tino et Manadja, ont formé le groupe Magic System en 1996, d'inspiration zouglou,
l'un des courants majeurs des musiques urbaines d'Afrique des années 90 . Les débuts sont difficiles, et c'est en 1999 que
le grand succès arrive, avec l'album évènement "1er Gaou". . Après l'Afrique de l'Ouest, la vague Magic System atteint
tous les autres centres urbains du continent africain, et peu à peu la France où la progression est fulgurante. En juin 2001,
"Poisson d'avril" le nouvel album de Magic System sort chez JPS Productions. Pour tenter de convertir la vague Gaou
encore bien haute en un deuxième succès, les quatre garçons d'Abidjan ont invité la célèbre chanteuse sud-africaine Brenda
Fassie dans le titre "Kodjo Kodjo Tiré".
un véritable appel à la danse !!

Steel Pulse - Real Strong!
| Steel Pulse Live in Europe |
|
Steel Pulse is one of my top 5 favorite bands of all times since Reggae Sunsplash 1982. Really, their music makes me feel
happy. I missed their concert in Nice, France, last time I was there, but I wont miss it again if they come near where I am.
I am glad to see they are still going strong and their last CD is awesome. It could have won the grammy but since they
were in it alone without the super stars powers that Toots had I guess you can give it to Toots for the Grammy. But really
the music is awesome in African Holocaust. Enjoy and support these guys!
