Box 66714/Los Angeles, California 90066 USA 310/572-9477 http://www.ZemaZema.com P R E S S R E L E A S E - For Immediate Release RELEASE OF NEW ZEMA CD: "OVERCOME" - CONSCIOUS ROOTS REGGAE Los Angeles, California, March 28, 2006 - Melchizedek Music announces the release of Zema's highly anticipated new CD, OVERCOME (MEL2050). Described as one of today's top female modern roots reggae vocalists, this California roots daughter brings her soaring and engaging voice along with her years of experience as a professional musician backing internationally known reggae artists in this her fifth release. OVERCOME was recorded at Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica with some of Jamaica's finest including Sly and Robbie, The Gladiators, Horsemouth (drums), Danny Thompson (bass), Dalton Browne (guitar, background vocals), Sticky (percussion) and Obeah, Ansel Collins and Bowie on keyboards. The album is mixed by Errol Brown, Shane Brown, Sylvan Morris and Dalton Browne. Zema's music has been described by reggae archivist, Roger Steffens, as "healing music for the 21st century." She again showcases her talents as singer, songwriter, arranger and producer as well as her deep spirituality which are reflected in these 13 cuts of potent conscious roots reggae and dub. There are three combinations on OVERCOME: the Motown classic “Stoned Love” featuring Abijah (www.AbijahMusic.com), “Son and Daughter of Jah” featuring Al Griffiths and the Gladiators (www.GladiatorsBand.com) and “Don’t Give Up” featuring Mark Wonder (www.MarkWonder.com). Mark Wonder is known as a strong presence in the studios collaborating with many other artists. We have been given a limited number of copies of his new CD BREAK THE ICE on the Redbridge Muzik label in the UK to mail out with Zema’s OVERCOME CD to those radio DJs that request it. OVERCOME is available at fine sources for reggae music including Ernie B's Reggae (www.ebreggae.com, 866/496-5474 toll free), Amazon.com and in the UK/Europe by Blakamix (www.Blakamixshop.co.uk). There are music videos available to VJs for two of the tracks on OVERCOME, “ Stoned Love” featuring Abijah and “Son and Daughter of Jah” featuring Al Griffiths and the Gladiators.
