  • Thievery Corporation – The Outernational Music Tour

    Sun Jun 29, 2008

    -

    Story and photos by Brittany Somerset 

     

    Back in 2000, the late audiophile Tim Haslett wrote a review of Thievery Corporation’s 12” single, Shaolin Satellite, “I can say with some confidence that this splendid piece of music represents a form of dance music that has yet to be labeled.”

     

    Just as Tim Haslett was perplexed as to how to define their sound, Thievery Corporation’s dynamic duo Rob Garza and Eric Hilton were also initially baffled by the ever-increasing demands from their fan base for live performances. They considered themselves studio engineers rather than rock stars. Rather than resort to using wacky clothes or laser light shows – like so many of their ambient and electronic, gear-based peers – they came up with ways to make their live act much more engaging than simply taking the studio to the stage. …READ MORE

  • CONCERT REVIEW: Capleton and Special Guests @ B.B. King’s, NYC

    Wed Jun 18, 2008

    -

    Elvis may be “The King” and Beenie Man may be the self-proclaimed “King of

    The Dance Hall,” but Capleton is the Emperor, as well as the emissary of Bobo

    Shanti enlightenment. His performance in the heart of Babylon, at B.B. King’s in Times Square, New York City, on Sunday, June 15, was positively electrifying. Capleton and the David House Crew burned a fire so hot B.B. King’s almost spontaneously combusted. Special guest artists Jah Thunder and Culture Knoxx supported Capleton while The Prophecy, a five-piece ensemble, backed all three.

     

    B.B. King's was dank and stank with the smell of sticky …READ MORE

    Story and photos by Brittany Somerset

    This year’s 15th annual Rebel Salute, a birthday celebration for promoter and artist Tony Rebel, did not disappoint. An estimated 10,000 Jamaicans from Kingston to Negril, as well as international tourists who were visiting Jamaica from New York, London and Japan attended the all night festival at Alpart Sports ground in St. Elizabeth, Manchester, Jamaica on Saturday night, January 12th.

    Rebel Salute is generally a more “culture” roots reggae festival than Sting or Sumfest (although both of those festivals do usually include a few culture and roots reggae artists). Roots reggae performances included those from an older generation of artists like Leroy Gibbons, who performed, “This Magic Moment,” Errol Dunkley, Spanner Banner, Chalice, ex-Black Uhuru vocalist Junior Reid, George Nooks, and Luciano.

    The backing band for most of the artists was Live Wyah, the same backing …READ MORE

  • FESTIVAL REVIEW: Reggae Sumfest – Montego Bay, Jamaica

    Mon Jul 30, 2007

    By Brittany Somerset

    At the 15th anniversary of Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica, LL Cool J took the slot that 50 Cent previously occupied as the festival’s international hip hop headliner. At a press conference before the event, when asked by a reporter how LL manages to stay on top of his game after approximately 20 years in the business, LL replied, “When you love something, it is never complete. I love what I do, so I don’t stop doing it. You will always have one hit wonders who put out one tune and disappear with a gold chain.” He defended questions regarding the exploitation of women in rap videos by stating that, “Women who appear in these videos have made a choice whether or not to be in them…You have to respect their choice,” adding that they are compensated well for their participation. He went on to say, “This music is made for public consumption. As much as critics complain about the girls in the videos, the …READ MORE
