Donovan "Vendetta" Corleon is running things in NM in May with two different riddims. Last month's #1 dropped down to #3 and a brand-new Beenie Man on the red-hot JONKANOO riddim has taken over. While we're still awaiting the APPLAUSE to hit, the JONKANOO has conquered NM on the air-waves & in the dancehalls alike. It is no surprise to find no less than 5 tunes on the riddim in this month's top 20 alone. Don Corleon's roots selection, the DROP LEAF is still going strong as well with 2 tracks on the current chart and quite a number of others just bubblin under. Due to the more current tracks, the KOPA also refuses to quiet down out this way, as evident by the likes of Bounty (at #10), Sean Paul (at #12) and Tami Chin (at #15). Next bad bashment riddim comes on the Ghetto Youths label. Don't know the name of this one (could just be a one-pop at this point) but the Damian Marley plus girl track is murder and so is the riddim, so how bout a few more songs on the beat, youths? It's on the flipside of Junior Gong's "Welcome To Jamrock", which is HUGE out here & the hype of which was only pushed further by his live-performance in NM in May. Looking for this one to still hit the jackpot out here.... Gibbo's HARD TIMES riddim is hitting hard as well, with I-Wayne, Capleton, Luciano & Bascom X doing the honors. Christopher Birch's MILITARY with Macka Diamond & the sweet voice of Mister Easy, together with the heavyweight tag-team combination of Lady Saw & Remi Martin (on a re-worked version of the TIAJUANA beat) close things out this time around. Tons of new material on the way (as usual). Looking forward to Snowcone's APPLAUSE, Birch's MY SWING (hallelujah!), Gibbo's HARD DRUGS and a few cuts of South Rakkas new BIONIC RAS also sound promising!

The tour is of special significance, as Inner Visions lost their long time friend and booking Agent Patty Watts of Radiant Enterprises on Wednesday June 1, 2005. We take this time to pay Tribute to Patty Watts of Radiant Enterprises for many years of hard work and dedication to the Inner Visions Reggae Band. The old adage says " behind every successful man there stands a strong woman. For the Inner Visions Reggae Band, that woman was Patty Watts. Patty a mother and grandmother, Entertainment Coordinator and Booking Agent, wore many hats proudly; she was a strong woman. Even though ailing from Cancer for several years she took the group on and worked very hard for their success, she did this both lovingly and diligently; she was dedicated in helping the guys achieve the success they deserve. The loss of Patty Watts is a loss indeed to the Music Industry as a whole: as she not only Represented Inner Visions but also, Youssou Sidibe as well as many others in the entertainment arena, her presence will certainly be missed. With our sincere condolences to the Family of Patty Watts we give you love and may Jah always be with you. With special love deep in our hearts we will continue to keep Patty alive in our memories always recognizing her contribution to the world through music.

Bambu Station and Iba were prominently featured at the New World Passover Festival in Dimona, Israel where they were overwhelmingly greeted with throngs of concert goers from the African Hebrew Israelite Community. Their spiritual leader, Ben Ammi, took time to greet each performing artist and band member. Bambu Station also packed the house at the Kibbutz Ze Elim, as well as the Barbi Club and Om Beach, both located in Israel's thriving metropolis, Tel Aviv. The band played songs from their 2002 smash compilation "Talkin' Roots I," their award-winning 2003 release "One Day," their 2005 release, "Talkin' Roots II" and their forthcoming band album, "Bird's I View." The band functioned on the highest of vibes and energy and the crowds reacted feverishly, many times individually trying to express their love and appreciation for the band. Several times the band had to respond to not one, but three encores, and the crowd still could not get enough. St. Croix's Iba, who opened each show, set the pace with spirited and engaging songs from his forthcoming release "Many Lives" and his 2003 debut album, "Jah Lion (Children of the Nile)." Crowd favorites were "Save the World," "World Crisis," "Afrika" and "Jah Lion!" According to promoter Rasta Guil, "Amazing grace, Highest inspiration, generous, symphony of music, INTELLIGENT lyrics fe real, MESSAGE AS STRONG AS A ROCK, beautiful, milk and honey, revolutionary, different, highest music, sweet Reggae music, deep roots, deep reasoning... I can go on for hours... The crowd enjoyed them to the max. More than 3 hours per show!" Bambu Station's lead singer, Jalani Horton, reflected on the shows and journey. "The shows were very intense and spirited, but the land of Israel was equally so. We were graciously blessed by the expressions of love and support extended by the African Hebrew Israelite Community, the Kibbutz Ze Elim Community, and the massive reggae lovers in Tel Aviv. We would like to thank them from our hearts' depths." Bambu Station will commence its Summer tour on June 17th at the world famous Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in Angels Camp, California, along with fellow Virgin Islanders Iba, Army, Pressure, Batch, Ras Attitude, & the Zioneers Band. The tour will include the entire U.S. west coast, Mexico, and the Hawaiian Islands, and it will conclude with two weeks in Western Europe in August.

Both albums feature never before released Peter Tosh material. Each album is being released as a special limited edition collectable and only 100 copies of each title are available. Proceeds from the sales of these albums will benefit the continuing efforts to build the Peter Tosh Memorial Garden in Westmoreland, Jamaica. PETER TOSH UNPLUGGED, features ten rare acoustic performances by Peter Tosh which were recorded back in 1977. The tracks have been re-mastered and include acoustic, informal laid back versions of such classics as; Get Up, Stand Up, I Am That I Am, Can't You See, Stop That Train, Jah Guide, Fire Fire, and Legalize It. The tracks were recorded prior to Peter's 1977 United States tour in support of his then, Equal Rights release.

This 11 song release features such songs as Rastafari Is, Wanted Dread & Alive, Mystic Man, Burial, Walk and Dont Look Back, Oh Bumbo Klaat, Get Up, Stand Up, and others. Tosh Foundation, Director Michael Malott and Peter Toshs youngest son, Jawara have been working hard to further develop the efforts of the Tosh Estate which include the completion of Peter Toshs oldest sons plans to complete a Memorial Gardens, as well as the construction of a museum, library, and even a free medical clinic in Blue Fields, in the Parish of Westmoreland, Jamaica. The duo is also working on entering a red, yellow, and green race car to be entered in next years Speed World Challenge, a highly televised professional automobile racing series in the United States. The car will feature Peter Tosh s image, an image of the Lion of Judah, and logos from Zion Rootswear and American Airlines. Malott who is also active in automobile racing, hopes that the red, yellow, and green Rasta theme will further promote the foundation and the upcoming release of The Peter Tosh Tribute Album featuring Eric Clapton, Sean Paul, Edi Fitzroy, Daddy Roots, Ben Harper, the late Jerry Garcia, Martha Davis of The Motels and others. These two special limited edition releases are only available on the www.ptosh.com website and no where else.
