REGGAE AND MUSIC FANS, KNOW THE LIFE AND PASSION OF YOUR FAVOURITE MUSICIANS

Interview with great musicians behind the reggae music

Musicians are seen performing daily, travelling from country to country, entertaining fans. They have a lot of fans and followers, but only a few people know about them. One particular music in which concert attracts a large audience is Reggae. 

Even though this type of music that carries a prophetic message is not heavily promoted by MTV like other music, such as R&B, pop, soul, etc, Reggae has penetrated deep into the international platform.

The only way to know the mind, life, and passion of a musician is to be close to them. My love for music led me to meet some of the great musicians behind both Reggae and African music. 

In this book, 'The Passion of Reggae and African Music' are interviews with some of the great musicians. They are Lucky Dube, Gregory Isaacs, Anthony B, Capleton, Andrew Tosh, Julian Marley, Tutu Puoane, Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, etc.

A good product needs no publicity, yet I always try to find a way for readers to enjoy this beautiful photo-illustrated book. This book is not only for Reggae fans but for all music lovers. Below are free pages for readers.

MORY KANTE COMES TO MANO MUNDO FESTIVAL

Mory Kanté


Mano Mundo, a nice and interesting festival taking place yearly under the umbrella of the Antwerp Province, kicks off on the 12 and 13 May 2012, respectively. 


In the past, the festival had hosted famous musicians from different countries globally, including Tutu Puoane, Manu Dibango, and a host of others to entertain the people at Schorre in Boom.

This year, among other musicians to perform at the festival is the great Guinean musician known as Mory Kanté. Mory was born in Guinea on May 29, 1950. As a vocalist and player of the kora, a traditional harp, his golden voice and skills on the kora made him a genius among other traditional musicians from Africa.

In 1987, Kanté became internationally known for his hit "Yeke Yeke," which was one of Africa's best-ever-selling hits as well as being a European number one in 1988, making it the first-ever African single to sell over one million copies. It was in Munich, 1988, that I heard this great song pulling everyone to the dance floor.

In 1994, his international stardom excelled when the German techno duo Hardfloor created a dance remix of "Yéké Yéké." He also appeared in 2006 as a vocalist on British DJ Darren Tate's release, "Narama." On 16 October 2001, Mory Kanté was nominated Goodwill Ambassador of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
