Reggae-Rock Band, Jahmings Maccow and E- Rif Release the Single “I”

Los Angeles, CA – February 19, 2010 Celebrating their first single since the full length release “Man Redemption”, Jahmings Maccow debuts “I”; a love-sick ballad with a mellow reggae groove. The song speaks of the illusions of greed, fear, and unhappiness. Jahmings urges his brother man that these feeling are just a figment of the imagination, and that these will soon pass. “I” is a track full of spirit and heart; Jahmings words are sung so sincere and honest.

This is the second release for Letmegoo Records, a label dedicated to helping expand the careers of independent reggae artists. The label’s first release “Man Redemption” was praised as being unabashedly pure roots reggae. Jahmings perfects a flawless blend of rock with roots reggae on his new release, which is sure to please. Continue reading Reggae-Rock Band, Jahmings Maccow and E- Rif Release the Single “I”

Soca Lovers Treated to St. Mary’s Finest

Saturday, February 13, Kingston, Jamaica (A.I.M Inc.): Week 2 of Bacchanal Treasures – the Bacchanal Fridays saw hundreds of Soca lovers coming out to the Mas Camp in New Kingston to get their weekly fix of the ever infectious genre of music.
At a $600 entry price, the organizers have somehow found a way to make the weekly series ‘recession friendly’ and with drink specials being offered by Appleton, Smirnoff, Heineken and others, there is always a cost effective way to spend a dollar and enjoy a drink.

The vibe around the Mas Camp was relatively slow. However there were sporadic moments when the energy reached climatic proportions; selections from the soca catalogue of 2 and even 3 years ago worked well for the masses and there was a thunderous sound of appeal when the selector played Skip to Ma Luu with Serani, Ding Dong and Razz & Biggy. The crowd erupted in a dancing frenzy swinging from left to right all around the venue and shaking various booths set up by the sponsors. Continue reading Soca Lovers Treated to St. Mary’s Finest
