Pericos & Friends “This is the result of nearly two years of hard work, during which time we have revisited some of our favorite songs and recreated them, along with some hits by Bob Marley and other great artists. We treated ourselves and invited artists we revere and some great friends to come and play with us, and each of them brought their own magic to our music. Pericos & Friends is an album created with the help of over 50 musicians, recorded in 9 countries and with tracks in a variety of languages, yet a love of reggae and music in general tie the whole project together. We, the Pericos, are celebrating 25 years of makng music and this is the best way to start to celebrate!". With such strong evidence, all we can do is examine the result; Pericos & Friends is an album full of life, magic and joy, the pinnacle of a long career that not only made reggae popular throughout Latin America but also provided an indispensable songbook known and loved by all. Like the best parties, Pericos & Friends is an album chock full of fun from beginning to end. Waiting, Mucha Experiencia, Pupilas Lejanas, Natural Mystic, Runaway, Complicado and Aturdido are all here! Los Pericos are celebrating their 25th birthday and they´re doing it in style! They have even brought along special guests like Ali Campbell (of UB40 fame), the pioneer Gregory Isaacs, the immortal Wailers, founding father Toots Hibbert (of Toots and the Maytals), the talented Mykal Rose of Black Uhuru and contemporary legends like the Skatalites. A unique combo composed of Pato Banton and the unforgettable duo of Sly and Robbie also come together along with Latin stars like Cidade negra, Guillermo Boneto of Los Cafres, Juan Manuel Casán of the Spanish group Seguridad Social as well as the Uruguayans of No Te Va Gustar and the Chilean members of Gondwana. In the history of rock in Argentina there has never been an album that brought together so many important artists with a common goal. Pericos & Friends is not just a party, its not just another fun reggae album either, it is a hit that is sure to cross generational and geographical frontiers!.

The pair began working together as a team in 1975 and they quickly became Jamaica’s leading, and most distinctive, rhythm section. They have played on numerous releases, including recordings by U- Roy, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Culture and Black Uhuru, while Dunbar also made several solo albums, all of which featured Shakespeare. They have constantly sought to push back the boundaries surrounding the music with their consistently inventive work. Dunbar, nicknamed ‘Sly’ in honour of his fondness for Sly And The Family Stone, was an established figure in Skin Flesh And Bones when he met Shakespeare. Dunbar drummed his first session for Lee Perry as one of the Upsetters; the resulting ‘Night Doctor’ was a big hit both in Jamaica and the UK. He next moved to Skin Flesh And Bones, whose variations on the reggae-meets-disco/soul sound brought them a great deal of session work and a residency at Kingston’s Tit For Tat club. Sly was still searching for more, however, and he moved on to another session group in the mid-70s, the Revolutionaries. This move changed the course of reggae music through the group’s work at Joseph ‘Joe Joe’ Hookim’s Channel One Studio and their pioneering rockers sound.

New Gregory Isaacs Song Set for Release
New Gregory Isaacs Song Set For Release Published by: Jamaica Gleaner on Saturday, August 12th, 2017 Overseas-based label, Upsetta Records, is gearing up to release a new Gregory Isaacs record. It is one of only two records to be released for the late king of lovers rock since his passing in 2010. According to Upsetta, they got the record through a deal with another label. "For two years, one of our bredren from VIS Records had been mentioning that they had a Gregory Isaacs session and would love to see what we at Upsetta Records could do with it. The tune was originally recorded with VIS Records before Gregory passed away in 2010. They had released the tune, but with little promotion and fanfare, thus the tune was hardly heard by anyone and they wanted it to get the proper exposure, and that's why they have reached out to us," he explained. The record is featured on Upsetta Records' Lion Pride rhythm, a project which was almost completed before the producers decided to add Gregory to the compilation. Upsetta said the sound of the rhythm called for Isaacs' unique vocals. "One night, while they were wrapping up production on the Lion Pride Rhythm, Dubee, a member of Team Upsetta, was listening to the mixed version of the compilation. The rhythm was so soulful and smooth and he heard Gregory crooning over the drum line and organs. He immediately jumped up and whatsapp our bredren from VIS Records and told him he thinks we are ready to take him up on the Gregory session.

The Peacemaker's Chauffeur by Jason Wilson
• The Peacemaker’s Chauffeur By Jason Wilson Review by Douglas Heselgrave September 15, 2011 When I first heard Bob Marley in 1977 at fifteen years of age, the way I thought of music changed almost instantly. Until then, I thought that music that expressed the need for social change and self-reliance belonged solely to artists like Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Richie Havens. An acoustic guitar – and little else in the way of accompaniment – was de rigeur. ‘Dance music’ such as reggae had always existed in my mind as little more than a novelty or at best a soundtrack to a summer party. But, once I heard the newly minted ‘Exodus’ album at my friend’s brother’s apartment, I was hooked. As a burgeoning reggae fan, I couldn’t have come on board at a better time. In the next few years, I became exposed to the music of Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, Culture, Wailing Souls, Augustus Pablo, Toots and the Maytals ….. the list goes on. I was lucky enough to see Bob Marley live on the Survival tour and in the following years, it was not uncommon to be able to attend shows by Tosh, Dennis Brown, Culture, Third World, Burning Spear and Gregory Isaacs all in a single summer. Those were heady days, and if you’re of my generation and of my musical inclination, you may have begun to despair about the state of reggae in recent years. Caribbean friends assure me that there is a lot of great music still being produced, and I’m sure that they’re right.

Renato Sets It Straight: the Panamanian Roots of Reggaetón
Peter Szok Renato Sets It Straight: An Interview on the Diffuse Roots of Reggaeton Texas Christian University, EE.UU. [email protected] Introduction An intense debate has arisen over the last decade regarding the origins and the development of reggaeton. As Wayne Marshall notes in a recent publication, the discussion has often taken on a heated and “linear” quality, with participants linking the genre’s spectacular emergence to pre- existing, nationalist narratives, while ignoring its global and fluid character, the “migration” of its artists, and the “reach of the media” which impacts its subjects simultaneously in various regions (Marshall 22). Puerto Ricans have most successfully produced this dance music which draws heavily on aspects of commercialized African diasporic culture and which is now heard and performed across Latin America, the United States, Europe, and many other parts of the world. As a result, they and others tend to present the rhythm as having come “straight outta Puerto Rico,” as implied in a 2008 documentary which ties reggaeton’s rise to the island’s youth and popular culture (Savidge and Chankin). However, Panamanian musicians are equally adamant that the musical form is essentially their creation and that its roots lie firmly in the traditions of the isthmus’ Afro-Antillean population. “We invented it in Panama,” insisted salsero Rubén Blades, during a press conference in Puerto Rico, while serving as his country’s Minister of Tourism. Speaking in what might be regarded as enemy territory, Blades identified reggaeton as part of his republic’s patrimony, and he called on Panamanians to abandon any prejudices and to recognize its importance in their society (“Rubén Blades” s.p.).

Meta and the Cornerstones Born in Senegal, West Africa, Lead Singer Of
Meta AND The Cornerstones Born in Senegal, West Africa, lead singer of Meta and The Cornerstones, Meta Dia, discovered his love for music and desire to be a musician at a very young age. Listening to Reggae greats Bob Marley and Gregory Isaacs helped nurture his admiration and true appreciation for all types of music. As a self-taught musician, by age 14 he was performing on the street and stages of his hometown Dakar, Senegal. In 2000, Meta formed his first band YALLA SUUREN (God Bless), which was nominated for Best Hip-Hop/Reggae Group by the French Cultural Center the same year. Within two years, Meta had become one of the premier pioneering voices of the Hip-Hop culture in West Africa. After relocating to the United States, Meta immediately began collaborating with artists such as Sean Blackman, and Hip-Hop Ambassador Toni Blackman. Shortly after settling in New York City, he formed his visionary band, Meta and The Cornerstones. With varying ethnicity, religion, and musical influences, Meta and The Cornerstones’ sound is a melting pot rooted in diversity, strength, and unity as they combine their creative differences from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean bringing togetherness, peace and understanding. Meta and The Cornerstones channels Roots Reggae while simultaneously breathing new life into the genre, thus creating what critics have called a “soul-pounding spiritual experience” during their live performances. Inspired by Alpha Blondy and Lucky Dubee, they have shared the stage with Reggae stars Luciano, Steel Pulse, Clinton Fearon, Israel Vibration, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Gentleman and Tanya Stephens amongst others.
