2008 Roots Nation - feat. HORACE ANDY, LUCIANO, MIKEY GENERAL and more..
By:
MEDIA RELEASE 17 MARCH 2008
the Arts Centre & Multicultural Arts Victoria in association with Terrasphere Productions presents as part of MIX IT UP!
ROOTS NATION
Strictly Roots & Reggae Music from around the world!
FEATURING DIRECT FROM KINGSTON, JAMAICA International Reggae stars:
HORACE ANDY, LUCIANO & MIKEY GENERAL with FULL BAND
SUPPORT BY AUSTRALIA’S INDIGENOUS & REGGAE MASSIVE - SOUNDSYSTEMS, MC’S & SELECTORS INCLUDING: BART WILLOUGHBY (No Fixed Address, Mixed Relations) CHANT DOWN SOUND, NATTY SISTREN SOUND, HEARTICAL HIFI, TJIMBA POSSUM AND MORE
From Kingston Jamaica to the bass driven music lovers of Melbourne comes Roots Nation 2008, taking audiences on an inspiring cultural and artistic journey experiencing the amazing food, sights, music and art forms that are part of the incredible genre of Reggae Music. Roots Nation 2008 will feature the mighty Jamaican music legend Horace Andy, whose unique voice is adored by reggae fans the world over, and carried hip-hop and soul into a new era through his collaborations with Massive Attack. Also headlining will be the brilliant Luciano, the most universally revered, iconic figure to emerge in reggae over the past decade. Not only is he a consummate songwriter, a wonderful singer but also a spellbinding live performer. Luciano will be joined by fellow Jamaican Reggae star Mikey General.
Local acts will include Australia’s own Indigenous reggae star Bart Willoughby, front man of the legendary No Fixed Address and Mixed Relations and now backed by his Melbourne based band playing all their hits. There will also be a massive line up of Melbourne’s reggae selectors and MC’s including Natty Sistren Sound, Heartical Hifi and many more. Prior to the Roots Nation concert in Melbourne a series of workshops will be held in Indigenous communities of the Northern Territory with visual footage of Jamaica and Australia to accompany the main concert.
Horace Andy now regarded as Jamaica's most distinguished and loved vocalists; Horace is blessed with one of the finest voices in Reggae Music. His classic recordings from the '70s with producers such as King Tubby, Prince Jammy and Bullwackie remain crucial listening, while his more recent work with trip-hop heroes Massive Attack has introduced the singer to an entire new generation of devoted fans. www.myspace.com/horaceandy1
Luciano as the Messenger is an emissary whose work contains important teachings for humanity and who peacefully strives for the betterment of society. As such, his songs have the power to touch the soul, to communicate spiritual truths and uplift our hearts to an unprecedented degree. Jamaican reggae music hasn't produced such a well-loved figurehead since the days of Bob Marley and Dennis Brown. www.lucianoreggae.com
From 2pm onwards enjoy the food from Sassy’s Jamaican Kitchen, free live music, stalls
and the Oz Reggae Roots and Culture stand selling music, DVD’s and merchandise.www.ozreggae.com

gig was tremendous
never thought id smell weed pungent down the front at Hamer Hall. The venue wasnt equipped for that number of heavy drinkers either, but holy shit it sounded amazing on the sound system there.

The after party at laundry was one of the meanest sundays yet!! We can now put luciano down on the list of guests we have hosted! Awesome vibes seeing the dancehall heads loving the dubstep flavours before hand.
And big up Dan the owner for his phat bag of dubstep and reggae vinyl!!

yes, was so cool to be able to do the double. we got to see a deeper side of these artists at laundry...trully a privaligeShiKung wrote:The after party at laundry was one of the meanest sundays yet!!

Horace Andy was a fav, Luciano is a mad man(summersaults, wtf?), and black scorpio is a reggae history on legs...great times, good to see artist with 110% passion(almost turn me into a christian, maybe next life)
My only beef was that after all the preaching about savouring your roots and culture Bart Willoughby was allowed to be kicked out of laundry because he grabbed the mic off Black Scorpio and slurred 'rastarfari'. Or was i the only peep to witness that? I mean where are our priorties...
Anyway all in all a mad night
