Israel Vibration featuring the legendary Wiss and Skellly, backed by the world-famous Roots Radics band appear at 9pm. The tickets are $20 in advance and $25 day of show. Harlows is located at 2708 J Street in downtown Sacramento, 916/441-4693. Mention the name Israel Vibration in reggae music circles and watch the warmth of recognition and appreciation of anyone who has seen or heard thisvery special group of singers. The positive vibrations emanating from the music of Israel Vibration have been spellbinding audiences, critics and DJs for over two decades. This group of singers casts a harmonious musical spell, weaving traditional roots reggae with a mesmerizing sound and deeply spiritual message. Israel Vibration members Cecil Spence (Skelly) and Lascelle Bulgin (Wiss) were born in Jamaica, West Indies. Each is a victim of Poliomyelitis (Polio). They met as children in the Mona Rehabilitation Center, into which they were placed because of their families¹ limited resources and their needs for specialized medical care. They learned early on the necessity for developing survival skills, and although polio is an undeniably crippling and debilitating disease, the youths never let their physically challenging situation supercede their willpower and their creative abilities. They found strength in the faith of Rastafari through the guidance of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, and began composing and singing songs that expressed their spiritual beliefs. Their spirituality and stance on issues relating to their residency at the Mona Rehabilitation Center caused them to be expelled from that institution. Undaunted, they found solace, comfort, and sustenance in their music, which won them the support of their local community and provided them with encouragement to pursue their music careers. They began recording in 1976, enjoying a hit with the poignant Same Song, which was licensed to EMI and brought the group international attention. After breaking up, getting back together and signing to RAS Records in1988, they released Strength of My Life, Praises, Forever, Vibes Alive, IV, On The Rock, Free to Move, Pay The Piper, Jericho and several dub albums. Skelly and Wiss fully commit to each honest lyric and sing from the heart with the true spirit of universality. Israel Vibration redefines the term "Roots Reggae" for the new millennium. Tickets are available at www.harlows.com , www.renegadeshows.com , at Harlows and The Beat and Armadillos- 530-758-8058, 205 F Street in Davis.
