Artist: Solomon Jabby Song: Bright Star Revolution CD: Firmly Planted Genre: reggae Label:Lion Of Zion Homepage
For over a decade, roots/dub artist Solomon Jabby has been studying and perfecting his craft of classic dub and roots reggae. With two full length dub albums already to his credit, Solomon has earned respect in the worldwide reggae community by updating the sounds of pioneers such as King Tubby, the Roots Radics, and Augustus Pablo. On Solomon Jabby’s third release, “Firmly Planted,” he proves that traditional roots reggae production still has a place in the modern reggae soundscape.
Solomon has been featured in BEAT magazine in both February and August 2005 editions as well as numerous reggae and dub compilations. “Firmly Planted,” his first vocal album, pays homage to the golden days of Jamaican harmony groups with clear influences from such artists as The Wailing Souls, The Congos, and The Gladiators. Deep lyrical content permeate dense vocal harmonies, perfectly complementing Solomon’s organic production. Exceptional musicianship and superb arrangements make this album a full, well rounded work.
Solomon Jabby’s “Firmly Planted,” proves what a modern artist can achieve when he finds the balance between past and present. Solomon has successfully found a way to stay true to the 70's reggae vibe while simultaneously pushing the art of roots and dub to higher heights. His passion for music is tied closely to his belief and conviction that Yeshua of Nazareth is the Messiah as foretold by the Old Testament prophets (Isaiah 53), Selah!

About Roge Abergel & Kingdom Culture
Roge Abergel, is a unique reggae artist with a fascinating background and rich lineage. He was born of Jewish ethnicity to French-speaking parents, in Casablanca, Morocco (North Africa). At a young age, Roge's family was transplanted to The Ivory Coast in West Africa. They settled in Marcory, a district south of Abidjan. As a teenager, Roge Abergel, (pronounced "Row-jay Aber-jel") initially fell in love with the soulful heart pulsing sounds of Reggae.
"I grew up listening to the likes of Otis Redding, James Brown and Fela Kuti," He recalls. "I started listening to artists like Jimmy Cliff and the Wailing Wailers. Everything was imported to the Ivory Coast on vinyl records. I became fascinated with Jamaican music when it evolved into roots reggae and was musically indoctrinated by the reggae greats. By the mid seventies I was fully converted to reggae--It was the music of my heart!"
Influenced by artists like Winston "Burning Spear" Rodney and Bob Marley, Roge's greatest desire was to sing roots reggae. While he used to jam it with his friends as a youth, it wouldn't be until decades later that this dream would come to reality.

Monty G is no doubt one of the most influential and sought after artist in the world of gospel reggae. As a matter of fact, his years of hard work producing hardcore and award winning gospel reggae and dancehall albums is also paying off with recognition and respect now pouring in from the world of secular reggae. Though grateful for the admiration and opportunity for his music to cross the boarders into the world of secular pastures, Monty does so with God’s guidance and without compromising his Christ 4 Life base.
This is no flash-in-the-pan dancehall album; it's mature, melodic reggae that can be appreciated by lovers of all styles within the genre. While some of these songs may not slam in the dancehall as hard as some of his previous releases, they also won't fade into obscurity or become outdated. With Monty's use of catchy hooks, acoustic instruments and down-tempo tracks, the end result is a timeless offering that is sure to remain relevant for decades to come. Monty G is in his prime and this sophisticated new release is just what the genre of Gospel Reggae needs.

Artist: Kenneth Appiah & The Soul WInners Song: Keep On CD: Keep On Genre: reggae Label:Lion Of Zion Homepage
REVIEW:
On his solo debut "Keep On", Kenneth Appiah takes us on a wonderful musical journey to West Africa with a fusion of Ghanaian rhythms, Reggae and Afro-pop. The first of it's kind in the gospel arena; he has been compared to the likes of Youssou N'Dour, Baaba Maal, Alpha Blonde and even Lucky Dube. Over dense percussion, melodic guitars and vibrant horns, he sings captivating songs of praise and worship.
"This is Lion of Zion's first endeavor back into African or World music since our groundbreaking 2002 compilation 'Africa Anointed', said Lion of Zion and GospelReggae.com president Mark Mohr. " To be honest with you, so much of the gospel music that has been coming out of Africa lately has been sterile or synthetic so when I received Kenneth Appiah's demos I was blown away. Not only were his lyrics profound and his heart for God evident, I loved the energy of his tracks and the organic sounds that define his music such as live drums, melodic guitars, vibrant horns, dense vocals and hypnotic percussion. After just one listen, my wife (Avion Blackman) and I knew that we had to sign Kenneth to our label and give his incredible music a platform, for it is unlike anything that we had ever heard before--it is musician's music!"

Artist: Christafari Song: Too Many Cannibals CD: To The Foundation Genre: reggae Label:Lion Of Zion Homepage
Mainstream reggae has never been more popular thanks to artists like Bob Marley, Sean Paul, and Matisyahu. Over a decade before Matisyahu introduced the world to his unique brand of Hasidic Reggae, Christafari was making waves with their original blend of Gospel Reggae. Over the years, these trailblazers have been crafting one of the most impressive catalogues in Christian music. With over 10 full-length releases to date and never-ending involvement in countless compilations, it's no wonder Christafari's cumulative album sales top out at over 400,000 units! In the fall of 2006, bandleader Mark Mohr embarked on the next chapter of Christafari's career, creating what has become their most exciting album yet. This time around, Christafari takes us To The Foundation.
On their rootsiest effort to date, Christafari revisits their musical and spiritual foundation with dramatic results. Full-bodied horn melodies, heart-pounding bass, and precisely executed drum rhythms form the perfect background for front man Mark Mohr and his various guest vocalists (a veritable who's who of the Gospel Reggae arena) to flex their talents, moving from roots reggae to lovers rock to dancehall and back again.
Lyrically, this project is jam-packed with the unwavering Word of God. Christafari continues to display their dedication to utilizing sound doctrine and a host of Biblical references on every single song--ensuring that the Gospel is clearly proclaimed with no compromise!

With To The Foundation, Christafari has managed to record an album that is both timely and timeless. "I don't strive to make a hit, but a classic," says Mohr. "When in the studio, I think 'How will this sound ten or twenty years from now?' I want to record music that will endure for decades so that the message of Jesus Christ will continue to bear fruit for generations to come." With this album Christafari is boldly marching forward, continuing to pioneer a blossoming genre while shaping the future of Christian music.
