(Kids album) Date: 18 Aug 2005 18:52:01 -0000 From: list_owner@lionofzion.com The wait is finally over! Christafari's first Kid's album, "Reggae Sunday School" is now available at www.gospelreggae.com Artist: CHRISTAFARI Album: REGGAE SUNDAY SCHOOL Price: Only $14.99 Description: It's been 16 years since the inception of Christafari and much of the band's initial teenage fanbase now have kids of their own. Combining their love for reggae and their heart for kids, Christafari delivers "Reggae Sunday School", their most original concept album to date. Producer/vocalist Mark Mohr has assembled the world's finest gospel reggae musicians and vocalists to bring you a unique children's album that is unlike any other on the market. Featuring a massive ensemble of guest appearances from Red Cloud, Richie Righteous, 'Imisi, Avion Blackman, Jaibo Culture, Monty G, Ace Winn, and Solomon Jabby; Reggae Sunday School is sure to satisfy even the most critical of ears. Inspired by the best-selling mainstream series Reggae for Kids, the album dons many American and Caribbean Sunday school classics plus a few new Christafari originals. Reggae Sunday School reaches past the genre of reggae and grabs handfuls of Calypso, Soca, Mento, Reggaeton, Hip Hop, Dub, Dancehall, Jungle and Nyabinghi. Christafari uses steel pan, live horns, and enough percussion to get both young and old moving to the up-tempo beats. Through its interludes, it takes you on a joyous journey to the mythical islands of "Yeahman" and "Noman". It is here where listening hearts and ears will be taught brief lessons by the animated voices of Nigel the Iguana, Calypso the singing Coconut, Manu the know-it-all overripe Mango, Seymour the Seagull, and Patchouli the Jellyfish! Reggae Sunday School answers the cries of parents in search of quality children's music. Do not be fooled by what the title suggests, this project is also for the adult who is a kid at heart!
