Another video of the Binghistra Movement performing at the Kingston Night Market, on Emancipation Day, August 1. Here you are treated to more contemporary music played by the Movement. Interesting!
To be relevant to those who experience her music is what resonates most with Arlene Naphtali. Writing music that is honest, timeless, and speaks to the human condition is what drives her style.
Her single, ”Move From Like To Love” from the self-titled EP, is a playful love song that explores the possibility of friends becoming lovers, and has caught the attention of legendary and international Reggae stalwarts such as Jeff Sarge, host of The Reggae School Room, DJ Roy of Irie Jam FM, and DJ Jacko of Bess FM in Jamaica. Crowd favorite “Make Me Whole Again,” born from prayer, is a musical appeal for healing and completeness that anyone going through trials and hardships can relate to. “Worthy of All Praise,” dancehall flavored “Gimme Likkle Riddim” and inspiring “Repatriation” illustrate Arlene Naphtali’s consistent versatility as a singer/songwriter.
Sharing the stage with such notable artists as Freddie McGregor, Sister Carol, Marcia Griffiths, and Leroy Sibbles has allowed her to introduce her music to wide audiences, and by the nicknames she’s earned, whether Songbird, Singing Angel, or Honey Voice, it’s evident Arlene Naphtali touches hearts and souls with her music.
Malijah’s brand of music belongs to the league of fresh talents coming out of Jamaica that gives the music more dimension and substance. His lyrical content is conscious and highly relevant to the struggles of today’s society. His lyrical context and quality are one that could even take you to a place where you will appreciate music and the world to its truest core, which is the very essence of the “Reggae Culture.”
With his peaceful, humble appearance comes this incredibly versatile artiste who is capable of delivering powerful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. His passionate and energetic drive for excellence makes him an artist who undoubtedly surprises and captivates those who listen to him and have the pleasure to see him perform.
Jamaican singer Malijah has teamed up with Reggaeland for his debut album ‘Dancing Shoes’, released on March 8.
It contains 13 tracks, of which three are previously released, ranging from cultural roots reggae and easy skanking one drop to dancehall. The single Like How the Water is a celebration to Jamaica and its 50th anniversary.
‘Dancing Shoes’ follows several strong early singles from Malijah, though not included on this album. So do yourself a favor and also check out his Louie Culture duet Hills Farmer, One More Spliff, No Combo – a version of Lorna Bennett’s Breakfast in Bed – and the Fyakin combination Sincerely.
