Earl "Wya" Lindo Passed on to Zion
|
Sadly I report that Wailers keyboardist Earl "Wya" Lindo passed on to Zion today in London. My thoughts, love & prayers go out to the family, friends, colleagues & fans of this immensely talented musician. Bob Marley saw his talent & potential at a very young age & brought him into the studio & then on the road. I met him in Kingston in the mid-80s...very quiet, soft spoken...as many geniuses are...This is from The Wailers band website:
Earl “Wire” Lindo (sometimes referred to as “Wya”) is a Jamaican reggae musician, born 7 January 1953. He is a member of The Wailers and has collaborated with numerous reggae artists including Burning Spear."
Wya was recently in the studio recording & Jah willing, we will hear his final music soon. Rest In Peace & Power brother

Ras Majesty new CD “Summer Daze” now available on YouTube and iTunes
|
Reggae Artist and Producer Ras Majesty releases his second highly anticipated hit single ‘Summer Daze’, on Friday August 11th 2017.
A contrasting vibe from his first single ‘Pik We Up’; the new single ‘Summer Daze’ is a Roots/Lovers Rock blend, that embodies an uplifting and feel-good island sound.
The song depicts the beginnings of a summertime romance placed on an island in the tropics. While the video shot in Oahu, Hawaii, lets you live the experience with visuals of dreamy tropical landscapes, and a local love interest.
Hailing from the Bay Area by way of Hawaii, Ras Majesty has settled in Brooklyn, NYC and has been deep in the works curating his new single, and upcoming EP that would best be described as chocked full of roots reggae riddims, expression, and a message of truth. The collection leaves you spirited, powerful and uplifted. Ras majesty is a multi-talented artist producing tunes and videos in his own studio in Bedstuy under his self-run label Grand Lion Productions.

If you wish, and we really wish you wouldn't, like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
