Say what you want to say about him but Prince Pankhi really loves his Caribbean women. He blew up last year with the single, My Jamaica girl, which peaked at #4 on the CVM Hitlist chart and in the top ten on the Jamaica Music Countdown chart. Now, he is expounding on the virtues of Caribbean women with his latest single, Caribbean Girl.

'Women from the Caribbean are some of the most beautiful girls on the planet, so I just wanted to express that in song," Pankhi said. The versatile Pankhi also dabbles a little in dancehall as his single Earthquake Shook a Shook is also making waves in the music world, and another single, Free and Single, is also gaining popularity.

"I try to remain versatile by challenging myself, I can deejay on any beat because music a music, My Jamaican Girl is the single that make the world know about me because it got good promotion to reach the furthest, but I will always endeavour to make good music to educate and entertain the masses," he said.
It is the kind of single that people fall in love with every now and then, a wonderfully-produced traditional love song with an island feel, it is a song carved in reggae oak: solid and powerful. The song has been blowing up on the radio since its release and the video has been a fixture on most video stations across the island.

"Yea, everywhere yu go, yu hear the song, it kinda overwhelming and gratifying at the same time. People love the vibes, dem love the video, and we get some good airplay on it, GT Taylor, Richie B, Amber, Gary G ah play it, so mi give thanks," he said.
Based in the US, Prince Pankhi has been coming to Jamaica regularly in the last few months to focus more on getting his music promoted in the island. Born in Westmoreland, he grew up in Papine before migrating to the US several years ago. Ever since he inked a deal with Otis Riddim Records, Prince Pankhi's career has taken off like a Roman rocket and he has gained more fans in Jamaica and overseas.

"Jamaica is always mi yard so mi travel back and forth but it is always good to come back and get a groundation," he said.

He has done several shows in clubs and entertainment spots in Virginia, North and South Carolina, New York. He also opened for Capleton during a 35 state US tour a few years ago, and has done several dates in Europe, including a two-and-a-half week trek through France, Germany, Italy and Spain with Capleton a few years ago.

"I just try to keep it positive and be creative enough so that people can know about rastafari even while I try to educate and uplift the people. The world is in a dark place right now, especially Jamaica with the high crime, the child abuse, the gangs and other criminal activity, I and I just want to use good music and keep the yutes dem positive," Pankhi said.

Pankhi's followup song, Waiting Fans on the Otis Riddim Records/I Entourage label is also getting favourable airplay and video was shot by popular director Archie Caparchie.

The versatile Pankhi also dabbles a little in dancehall as his single Earthquake Shook a Shook is also making waves in the music world, and another single, Free and Single, is also gaining popularity.

Released 13.04.09.

If you're reading this then you are probably either A) a fan of Easy Stars' previous offerings, or B) a Beatles fan. In both cases I suspect this latest release from Easy Star Records will leave you with a rather large smile on your face.

The Easy Star All-Stars have an impressive history of taking classic records and re-recording them in a reggae-style (not simply that, but in every style of reggae from ska through to dancehall), and this project is no exception. Each and every track from the Beatles' classic "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" has been painstakingly deconstructed and then reconstructed before being put back together in the right order from the opening orchestral warm-up to the mock run-out groove at the conclusion of a very interesting ride. And it is a ride.

Along for that ride are, as with the first two re-imaginings, many of the reggae world's finest vocalists and musicians. On "Easy Star's..." (which annoyingly, but expectedly doesn't work as well as an abbreviated title as "Sgt. Pepper's..." does) a veritable who's-who of reggae including Luciano, Daddy U-Roy, Max Romeo, Michael Rose and Frankie Paul lend their considerable and historical vocal skills while Steel Pulse and The Mighty Diamonds appear to lend their weight to the project. A collection of such greats should make this an album worthy of your hard-earned money before you even consider the challenge they have all undertaken.

It was obvious on that first run-through that some of the tracks were simply amazing. "With A Little Help From My Friends" with Luciano's to-be-expected amazing voice was stunning. Immediately after, Frankie Paul's "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" proved that once again ("Dub Side Of The Moon" had showed us once before of course) that reggae and psychedelia can work very well together. "When I'm Sixty-Four" appears to have been specifically written to be recorded this way with Sugar Minott singing and a dub work-out at the end, and "A Day In The Life", with Michael Rose and Menny More sharing the two-tracks-collide vocals, is a joy to hear. On first listen I was left with an uncomfortable feeling inside me. Something just wasn't quite right with the whole thing. The second run-through didn't do a lot to convince me otherwise. In the car later (by now at listen number four) I had a discussion that concluded that it was either over-familiarity with the source material or something about the Beatles' simplicity not lending itself to the new style that was the problem. I can, I thought then, discount theory number one as I have probably listened to "OK Computer", the subject of Easy Stars' last versioning as "Radiodread" as many times as "Sgt. Pepper's...". Was it just that the new versions just didn't work then?

I am very pleased to say now, however, that I was probably right with my first guess. This album is definitely a grower. I think the Beatles, in particular the songs of this album, are so ubiquitous that hearing a majority of the tracks so completely differently (yet still so true to the originals - how do Easy Stars keep doing that?) just throws the listener somewhat. As a reggae fan I can once again confidently say that the Easy Star All-Stars have done good. This is an album that works and works well. The mix of reggae styles compliments the Beatles' mix of styles on the original and they've been crafted and performed exceptionally well.

What of the non-reggae fans, the music fans, the Beatles fans who undoubtedly want to hear what these upstarts have done to this classic album? The several passengers in my car who were made to listen to it had mixed reactions. Only one person seemed to not like it at all. Among the rest, the common consensus was that some tracks worked and some tracks didn't. Perhaps, with the chance to let it grow on them, as happened to me, they would conclude that it all worked very well indeed, and, still like me, it's an album that can be played again and again.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/JoyNktonga/journal/2009/04/07/2mnyao_getting_better_all_the_time%21#comments http://www.last.fm/user/Jweezy52/journal/2009/03/30/2lvqjv_the_culture_and_religion_of_rastafarians Mon, 30 Mar 2009 01:26:46 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Jweezy52/journal/2009/03/30/2lvqjv_the_culture_and_religion_of_rastafarians ...alil' something about rastafarianism. I found something that I'll like to share with y'all. check it out...

In the 1920’s, the people living in the slums of Kingston, Jamaica had little to celebrate or look forward to. They lived in grinding poverty and felt that their culture was being destroyed by white imperialism. A man named Marcus Garvey changed that when he began to preach a new philosophy called “Back to Africa.” This black self-empowerment movement taught that all blacks should move back to the home of their ancestors—Africa, but even more specifically, Ethiopa. “Look to Africa,” Garvey proclaimed in 1920, “where a black man shall be crowned king, for the day of deliverance is at hand!”


His prophetic statement resonated with Jamaicans when, in 1930, a black African named Ras Tafari Makonnen was named Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopa. His followers in Jamaica proclaimed themselves “Rastafarians” and Selassie the “Conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah.” Rastafarians believe themselves to be one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Haile Selassie claimed to be a direct descendant of King David, and as time went on, he came to be regarded by Rastafarians as a manifestation of God, or “Jah” as they call him, on earth. In Rastafarianism, there is no afterlife, and so the Kingdom on earth becomes very important.


In the beginning, Rastafarianism was much more radical than it is today. Early Rastas despised white people and taught that their culture was “Babylon”—impure, greedy, and avaricious. However, in later years, the prophet Gad, with his Twelve Tribes of Israel movement, included all men, of whatever race, in salvation. Whites can never be Rasta leaders, though, because the divine lineage comes down through the Ethiopian Monarchy: “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from beneath his feet, until Shiloh comes and unto him will be the gathering of the people.”


The death of Haile Selassie in 1974 shook the Rasta world. How could Jah on earth die? Some were shaken in their beliefs, while many others, especially the elderly, refused to believe his death at all and insisted it was a white media conspiracy.


Rasta culture has only grown stronger in the years since Selassie’s death, however. A major proponent of Rastafarianism in the Sixties and Seventies was Bob Marley. First with his band the Wailers and then in his solo career, this talented musician became for many the voice of Jamaica and was the first Jamaican superstar. The music of Rastafarianism was at first ska, which then mutated into reggae. Reggae music has been used for the last four decades to express the joy of Jah and Rasta and also to protest the injustices the Jamaican people have had to endure.
