Our goal as we seem to define it as we grow, is to showcase reggae to an audience that seeks some information and in so doing, relate reggae as we know it to be to an audience who wishes to receive it that way
We fulljoy the path and welcome conscious souls to partake of this energy
We do "reggae" every day
That is a blessing that we feel grateful for
I sometimes complain about Canada's lack of support for reggae yet here I am, doing reggae things, every day. So maybe it takes the individual to stop complaining about the path and just walk it
Sometimes I'm a tad thick... Took me a minute to have it penetrate
Reggae's path is about the positive unification of good souls
Welcome to this communication path

Considering the constant exploitative media sources, creatively distracting the sheeple daily, it is difficult to find some of those roots, RasTafari reggae tunes that helps to bolster your spirits and those around you
I found it from sistrin Tasha Tee in this tune "Fire In Me"
Talented human
As well as generous
Ovastanding the message of Feel Reggae, Mojah brought the bag of tools. He spoke of the early days with Truth & Rights. Of his friendship with the great Garry Lowe and his stint with Big Sugar
Mojah spoke of the history of reggae and why he writes this music and what inspires the creative path to the song
Then he performed a tune
The camera died, so we had to record with a cell phone... The visual is really poor becasue of it, yet the audio is very intact (audibly low but clear) and his message is clear
I do hope that you take the time to check out the performance... It sounds good
