You will fall in love with Sahra¹s voice. She produces every note in a warm bath of sincerity and heart and this openness carries her message aloft like a longboard bearing a whole family over the waves.

Sahra is optimistic about the world and many will share the resonance of hope that people can make the CHANGES they need to keep on keeping on. The world is in need of Sahra¹s music and thanks to the musical prowess of producer Tuff Lion ŒCHANGE¹ is a great offering for the healing of the people.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. announces an epic exhibition tracing the international roots of Rastafari's genesis and development. The exhibit Discovering Rastafari launches November 2, 2007 and lasts through November 2, 2008. Using artifacts, rare photographs, and ephemera (pamphlets and notices) to explore the origins and religious practices of the movement in Jamaica, this exhibition takes viewers beyond the popular Jamaican music known as reggae to the deeper roots of the Rastafari culture. There is also video footage. The Rastafari movement began 77 years ago but to kick off the exhibit, there will be a concert with Rasta elder and Los Angeles-based spiritual leader Ras Michael. He will perform with his group The Sons of Negus. For more info www.residentassociates.org The soundtrack to Perry Henzell's iconic movie The Harder They Come was voted the third best of all time, according to the editors of Vanity Fair magazine who compiled a list of the 50 Greatest Movie Soundtracks. In our new releases this week first from Seefari, aka Tom Carroll, it's 'Rasta Italist.' A talented musician as he literally plays everything on the cd but the 'Rootsmans' sound does get repetitive. Alpheus release his second cd from Special Delivery Music called 'Everything Got A Reason.' A Good solid lovers rock oriented cd that proves his move to Europe was for a 'good reason.' Lastly, I-Kay & Bunni B release 'African Dance.' A modern reggae cd with an African touch at times. It's good & a little different. Each week we ask a trivia question first last week we asked, since Dennis Alcapone started his career on the sound systems, who recorded him first? Coxsone Dodd This week we ask, what was Alcapone's first hit? In case you don't know. we will have all that & more on next weeks edition.....
