Reggae Nights # 114

Reggae Nights on May 12, 2012 took place at Römer in the centre of Bremen once again. Entry was free and it seems to be a recipe for success. Many people came and the little venue was full to the brim. I could hardly walk around and take pictures. However, as usual, I did get a few:

I certainly hope to see you all again next time when my camera will hopefully be focussing again properly! :-)

Etana - Wifey

I absolutely love the Heart & Soul Riddim produced by Notice Productions in Jamaica. One of my favourite singers of the day, Hezron, has the song "Can't Come Between" on this riddim and it's one of my absolute favourites right now. Close behind is the song "Wifey" by the most wonderful female vocalists I have ever met: Etana The Stong One. She deserves this name because her voice is so strong, it blows you away and she has the personality to match! I was lucky enough to get a little jingle from her so I made this upload on YouTube.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do: Etana - Wifey on the Heart & Soul Riddim released by Notice Productions in Kingston, Jamaica in January 2012:

Happy Mother's Day!

Bugs' Birthday Bash

On April 14, 2012 I was invited to Bugs's Birthday Bash in Hannover where I happened to meet so many lovely people as well as lots of people I knew already from Bremen and other parts of the country amongst them the wonderful artist Ray Darwin and members of his band. Bugs' Rebel Sound played a very nice warm-up for Jamrock Sound from Amsterdam with DJ Waxfiend at the controls and DJ D Masta at the mic. We all had a great evening with one boom tune after the next!

Large up Bugs, DJ Waxfiend and DMasta and all who made it a great night!

Magnolia

The magnolia trees are blossoming beautifully right now. This is a blossom I was given by my neighbour from their tree some time ago and I thought it was so beautiful, I had to freeze it in time. I hope you enjoy it too!

Happy Easter

Have a very happy Easter holiday! The sun is shining here, it's fairly cold but still a bright day. Here is an egg I designed some time ago. It's drawn with pencil directly on the egg shell.

Reggae by the River Part 2

Reggae by the River at Hafenklang, near Fischmarkt in Hamburg is an annual event held by Queen Easy, one of the management of www.reggaespace.com. The DJs playing at this event are all playing on internet radio regularly. The artists are attending the website regularly and all the guests are regular listeners there. The delicious vegetarian food was provided by Micho.

Big ups to everyone who attended some of whom are Lilian Gold, Donald Minott, Linford Nugent, Caroline Castelli aka Sista Caro, Dirk IRebel, Mighty Howard, 'Rootical', Yen Dis, Mr. Feelgood, RootzFaya, MassiveR, DJ 745, Selecta YoungLocks, Sam U Roy, the Dingolay Dancers, Ascona, Smuggler, Dags, Guddy, Colognemassive, Yardriddim, Vienna, Andrea Luise, Sista Gardy, Reggaelady, Climbnotrees, Jahmix, Tosh, Micho, Strobel, Ammi, Anja, Strobel, Andre, Winston, Micha, Imsa, King Kryzon, Mark Majestic, Robby, Malik, Mike, Princess Fari, Christian, the Hafenklang Crew and everyone else.

It was a real live radio show, even the little icons drawn on paper were included! BOOOM! ... lol... Personally, I was happy to see the Lestafari crew again after more than a year. It was lovely for real! Big thanks to Queen Easy for organising everything and for shocking the massive by playing a dancehall segment and bringing on the wicked dancers!

Also, an award was announced by Yendis, who is also management of ReggaeSpace. It is called Seed New Artist Award and the winners are Baby Lion and my friend Roxy Singh from Trinidad who could not be there in person but listened to the live stream of the dance all night. Congratulations to both winners! I may be able to add an interview of both with Yendis at a later time.

Nuff love to all ♥ ♥ ♥
