Culture remains humble published: Saturday | September 13, 2003 by Mel Cooke, Freelance Writer WESTERN BUREAU: ON THE telephone, Joseph Hill is courteous and well-spoken, his voice as clear over the wires as it is when it is amplified at 100,000 watts and he is rocking reggae fans as 'Culture'. A trip up the hill, on the level, past the old blue and white jolly bus that bears the legend 'Golden River, S/Hall, C/Spring' and down a really steep slope yields lots of trees, the sound of running water and a listen to three tracks from the new album, World Peace - but no Culture. Back in the city, a car pulls alongside at a stoplight and the title track of the album is bouncing on the radio, a dreadlocked head bopping along to we caan tek anodda war/we waan worl' peace. The Gleaner catches up with Culture the following day and finds a man whose down to earth manner is as unpretentious as the rural area of missed connections - and as gritty as the city where we finally meet. With 30 albums under his belt, Culture remains much like the title of his 2000 set - a Humble African. He has many matters apart from music and tonight's performance at 'Heineken Startime' on his mind. Natty never get weary, Culture growls in one of his signature tracks and, after a two-month trek across North America to support the July 17, 2003 release World Peace, plus a few hours in the city traffic, he still does look rather perky. SPECIAL MOMENT This tour yielded a very special moment for the trio Culture, consisting of Joseph Hill, who is synonymous with the group enough to be bestowed the name, and Albert Walker and Telford Nelson, being honoured with a proclamation from New York City for 30 years of socially-conscious music. "That was very beautiful. We did not know that so many people were picking up on the positive vibes. Give thanks that it is not falling on stony ground," he smiled, a glimmer of gold showing. Those 'positive vibes' translate into a Joseph Hill trademark remark on-stage that he has a pickaxe stick wrapped with barbed wire under his coat to beat Lucifer. "I really see too much people big up Lucifer by singing things which is not enriching the people no way. By exercising and promoting positive lyrics to counter negative lyrics, that is how you use your pick-axe stick," he said. Those coats tend to be a part of rather snazzy outfits that Culture says are "out of my pride." That pride goes beyond himself and extends to the people he performs before. Profane language is not a part of Culture's repertoire. He defines such language as "Words that depict parts of our dear ladies, who are entitled to much more respect than they are getting in and out the house." Nor will he be "exposing unnecessary profane language to minors... Many children in this country do not really enjoy their childhood in the tender way they should." While there are those who would not consider the Jamaican audience not too tender, Culture does not think they are tough at all. "They are observant. If they were tough, they would not tolerate so much slackness," he said. The World Peace promotion tour will continue in Europe "sometime, even if it is not confirmed", with a trip to London, England, sure for December and a fourth sojourn to Suriname, as well as yet another set of performances in Africa in the offing. "I can hold my umbrella over my head, expecting rain from Sierra Leone. We brought that country on two special occasions to peace," he said. "They have given my group 46 acres of land," Culture said. He makes a link between the Maroons of Jamaica and Sierra Leone, pointing to a place called Waterloo as the place in the African country they came from. Culture does not look through rose-coloured lens at Africa, describing in graphic detail acres of ghetto in Kenya. "I just had to buy food and return and distribute and be glad," he said. In Sierra Leone, "A little 10 year-old with a M-16 across his back said 'I am tired of fighting, I want to go to school.' "The thing that pains my heart, apart from the fighting, is that they do not treat their soldiers like men," he said. In Sierra Leone, where he would feed the two soldiers standing guard, one evening a strange soldier turned up. When Mr. Hill asked for the regular, he was told that he had been sent to the battlefront and was killed. "May I have his dinner?" the replacement said. In Ghana, Culture cooked ackee ("which they called bird food") and dumplings and "ease dem off de agouti," he chuckled. On the first song from World Peace, Sweet Freedom, Culture sings There is enough to satisfy every man need/But not enough to satisfy their greed. "The Swiss bank is responsible for about two-thirds of that world hunger. When the leaders of the provinces ravish the wealth of the people, that is where they put their money. There is hundreds of tons of gold called Nazis gold, that has to be shipped around by forklift. And people have to be hungry?" Culture demanded. JAMAICA AND GHANA He made another connection between Jamaica and an African country, this time Ghana. "I realise where the coat of arms is coming from," he said. However, the wording has had an unfortunate change. "The first wording was that equal rights and justice stand for all," he said. Going back to greed and need, Culture commented on the inequality in Jamaican society - and its consequences for the rich. "The doctor makes much when him bruck inna dem pocket, 'cause they are taking care of their wealth and not their health. Cause dem not drinking bush tea, dem drinking 'kufeee'. Cause when it turn instant, no coffee no inna it," he said. "Dem no want fowl foot, dem want chicken breas' an' de hen no have no titty. "The bigges' thing that money can bring is corruption. Real living, money can't buy that," Culture said. With these weighty issues on his mind and the proverbs learnt from his elders in his ever-ticking brain, Culture says that after 30 years he has not started making music yet. "Some sing music for the dollar. I sing music for the brother," he said. He speaks the truth as he sees it because he sees a terrible situation in Jamaica. "Please don't feel uptight with me to speak the truth, but someone is sleeping on our luck. We are such a fortunate people, but someone is sleeping on our luck," Culture said. one, peace, roots-ee http://thearkband.com [2]------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- >From PSM Subject: PSM "News on the Net" Fall 2003 Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2003 09:38:00 -0700 From: Steffen Franz Greetings All- This is a special edition of PSM's News on the Net for September 2003.

After 5 long years, and hundreds of sessions, the crazy rabbit is loose... The album is currently shipping to distributors and stores all over the US and Canada and we are very hoppy to say the least. Below please find the press release and some related biL "Magic Thumper" info: PSM4906-2 biL "Magic Thumper" CD Street Date: 09.09.03 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hello, biL? Its biL... Positive Sound Massive Recordings presents "Magic Thumper," the debut release from sonic sous chefs biL. Psycho-acoustic instrumental big-beat therapy sleeps around in a freestyling game of musical beds. Drawing from a diverse pallet of styles (turntablism, dancehall-reggae, hip-hop, surf, etc) and a braintrust of talent, biL is the spacious whole greater than the galactic sum of its generous parts. An inspired partnership between San Francisco's Stand Out Selector (renowned beat-builder & dancehall innovator) and multi-instrumentalist Allen Whitman (The Mermen, Deep Field South, etc.), biL also features the talents of DJ Quest (Live Human, Space Travelers), Dan "Automator" Nakamura (world class mixer - Gorillaz, Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030), Jim Thomas (The Mermen), Paolo Baldi (Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, Deadweight, etc.) and Kevin Mummey (Penelope Houston, San Francisco Klezmer Experience, Blue Room Boys, etc.). A busload of other players contribute to a burbling big stew simmering on the front burner of your underground stereo stove. Even before the completion of "Magic Thumper" biL tracks had already started hopping out of the hutch. With the inclusion of "Standy's Handout" on the PSM compilation release "Mi Selecta," biL had already begun to see worldwide airplay (John Peel's Radio 1, etc) and positive exposure in international music magazines (The Beat, etc). Interactive computer gaming giant Electronic Arts chose "Smell My Favorite" (Track 6) to stink up the soundtrack to its hit "Hot Wheels" release, alongside Metallica, Primus and Mix Master Mike. Other special uses have included it's use as background music for MTV's ultra deep "All-Star Challenge" and VH-1's uber ovary "Born To Diva." "Magic Thumper" releases in North America September 9th, 2003.

Finally, in Poetz4Peace news, the album "A Pair of Olive Leaves" is set to drop in Cyprus, Greece and Turkey on September 22nd, 2003. The album has already received airplay in half a dozen countries, and promos are shipping all over the world as this goes out. The following is a list of some of the promotional events going on around the worldwide record release on October 15th and "UN Day" in Cyprus on October 19th, 2003. Poetz4Peace Promotional Events and Happenings for October 2003 OCTOBER 18TH INTERCOLLEGE, NICOSIA, CYPRUS - RECORDING WORKSHOP 10.00 am - 4.00 pm Where politicians have failed for decades musicians and lyricists are making big strides in seconds. Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand - as Stevie Wonder once said. With this theme in mind a group of people will get together on Saturday 18th October to jam, write and record songs, beats and ideas for inclusion on the second CD/LP from Olive Tree Music. What makes these people unique is this will be the first time many of them have met and in most cases the first time they have recorded together. As Cyprus has been unnaturally divided for the last 29 years, with people only up until last April being denied access to each other, this workshop will hopefully produce some magical musical works. The day will be co-ordinated by US producer Steffen Franz aka Stand Out Selector, lyricist Haji Mike, poet Zeki Ali, bouzouki master Mike Minas & various people from the world of music based in Cyprus. OCTOBER 19TH LEDRA PALACE HOTEL, NICOSIA, CYPRUS POETZ4PEACE LIVE DEBUT @ UN DAY The newly formed 'Poetz4Peace' will be officially launching their debut CD 'A Pair of Olive Leaves' at live at the UN Day event held at Ledra Palace. UN Day has played a vital role in bringing the communities of Cyprus together in a spirit of harmony, peace and tolerance. It's held at Ledra Palace, the hotel that has been empty since 1974. One of Poetz4Peace new songs pays tribute to the building that has for many decades played a symbolic role in the Cyprus peace process. "Party @ Ledra" predicts a future where people can simply dance and accept each other. It celebrates a better tomorrow, and is expected to get the estimated 8,000 + crowd moving as one righteous harmony on 19th October 2003. POETZ4PEACE MEMBERS TO BE FEATURED ON NATIONAL BELGIAN TV Haji Mike & Zeki Ali, the main lyricists in Poetz4Peace will be filmed in early October for a documentary on Cyprus. The show will be screened next year on Belgian National TV. In this rare appearance, the two poets will talk about the works they have made together and the music label they founded with partners Steffen Franz aka Stand Out Selector and Mike Minas. Expect the unexpected, after all that's what real TV is about! OLIVE TREE MUSIC - CYBER-REMIX PROJECT Olive Tree Music will be spreading its branches online 15th October. >From various destinations around the world people will be able to download music loops from Poetz4Peace adaptation of 'Down by the Riverside'. Producers and musicians worldwide will then be able to record their own rendition of the tune, as seen from their point of view. The remixes will then be sent back as Mp3's and a panel of seasoned music producers and poets will select the best versions of the song. Winners will be announced and then a compilation of the tunes will be released by Olive Tree music in 2004. Important P4P Dates to Remember: September 22nd - Poetz4Peace "A Pair Of Olive Leaves" Mediterranean Release Date October 15th - Poetz4Peace "A Pair Of Olive Leaves" US and European Release Date (The Cyber Record Release will happen this day as well) More Press and Promo info for the 15th through the 22nd of October in Cyprus to come!!!

He earned his title over an illustrious 30 year career. Born in St. Catherine, Jamaica, the young man who wanted to simply express himself through music has gone on to influence an eclectic mix of artists from Eric Clapton to Paul Simon, from the Clash to Sublime. His latest release, HUMANITARIAN marks Cliff's Eureka Records' debut, and his first new project in 5 years. Leaning a little more toward pop without abandoning the style he has made famous, this CD features new versions of The Beatles "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and Carole King's "You've Got A Friend." "Those two songs fit in with the theme of the album, which is love. That is the essence of music to all of us. It's the love of your mate, of nature, of life, of the most high," Cliff explains. "The album is called 'Humanitarian' because that's what I am as an artist and a musician.

The reggae excitement was brimming over and the crowd was like the late 80's college crowd. ( Bassie ) Eustace gave the massive some Caribbean history and geography lessons, and brought them to the ghettoes and hillsides of the Caribbean. ( keyboardist ) Jonathan introduced lesson Reggae 101- World Peace- to coincide with the new school year and promised that The Ark Band would continue to deliver lessons 102, 202, etc as the school year progressed. ( Drummie ) Terry rocked the crowd with Electric Avenue. DJ Smooth continued the musical buffet with his energetic rap and much responsive crowd participation. ( Guitarist )Ras Shaggai schooled the students some more with religion. The people knew that they were picking up vibes from the heights, and that more than just music was in the air. It seemed like the reggae could've played all night. Until next time...
