Bob Marley lives on

 I was browsing some of his songs in the internet and found out that famous musical artists not only in the reggae genre had covered Bob's songs. I even found that Bob was one of their musical influences. Some might put their own style in the arrangement of the song. Others also put the song on a different genre, but still, the lyrics and the melody is there. I took some of the most famous artists today who covered Bob Marley's songs. It's true that Bob Marley's musical era never ends even at this point of time.

                 (Colbie Caillat singing turn your lights down low)
                          Jason Castro singing I shot the Sherriff
                    Local artist Bamboo I don't wanna wait in vain
 
Rihanna singing Redemption song


                       Sean kingston singing no woman no cry

Never let the spirit of reggae music die. Never let the spirit of Bob Marley's songs and messages disappear. Always spread the peace. Jah love!

MERRY REGGAE CHRISTMAS (how Rastas celebrate their christmas)



Greetings and salutations! 10 days to go and it's Christmas. Let's spread the peace and love this yuletide season. Jah bless! :)

Did you know?

       Rastafarians celebrate Christmas in a different date and in a different manner. Rastas Christmas celebration is based on the bible and traditions of the Ethiopian orthodox church.They called this special day as Lidät unlike what the Catholic church used to call it. It came from an amharic word which means birthday. They celebrate lidat on the 7th day of January. The tradition came from the Ethiopian Orthodox church which is one of the oldest church in the world. Unlike the basis of the christian church on celebrating the christmas day, Rastafarian culture believe that this is the real day that Christ was born for the feast was instituted by the Three King's arrival in Bethlehem to see the infant Christ based on the bible. I think they believe that this is a better and reasonable basis to know the real date of Christmas compared to the Christian's analytical and Bible based proofs.

     “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him,”  - Gospel of Matthew 2:1-2

          Rastafarian tradition has said that Baltazar (Balthasar), one of the Three Kings, was from Ethiopia, and is often depicted as a Black man even in the West.  n Ethiopia, Lidät is celebrated with a special service at church. The more devout will fast on the gahad (“Christmas Eve”), and the even more devout for 40 days prior. At home, a big feast is prepared. No tree, no snow, no mistletoe. The main decoration depicts the Manger scene, where the Three Kings pay homage to the Infant. Tradition has it that Balthasar, the Ethiopian King, brought the frankincense. And, only children get presents. On this day, children play a hockey-like game called Genna, from where we get the alternative name of the Feast.

         To Rastafarians it is a time to not only celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour in the manner prescribed by tradition, but to reflect on this event in the context of the original prophecy as told to our father , and the expectations of the time of the manifestation of God not only as Priest but King, which the Emperor Haile Selassie  has fulfilled. Rastafarians follow the Ethiopian calendar and start their new year at the month of September.

other Rastafarian occasions:

-Groundation Day (21st April)

Marks the date Haile Selassie I visited Jamaica in 1966. The visit was the only time the Emperor visited Jamaica. A Nyabingi session, inclusive of music, chanting and prayer is held to mark the occasio. They also smoke herb (ganja) during this ceremony

-Ethiopian Constitution Day (16th July)

Commemorates the implementation of Ethiopia's first constitution by Haile Selassie in 1931. The constitution instigated a Parliament and resulted in the appointment of a number of deputies, although Emperor Haile Selassie I retained supreme power and authority.
Rastafarians remember the history of Ethiopia and the events that led up to the birth of the Rastafari religion.
-Birthday of Emperor Haile Selassie (23rd July)

Observes the day on which Emperor Haile Selassie I was born in 1892.

-Marcus Garvey's Birthday (17th August)
Commemorates the Birthday of Marcus Garvey, the Jamaican politician born in 1887 who predicted the crowning of a King in Africa, and instigated the 'Back to Africa' movement.
On this date Rastafarians remember the important role played by Marcus Garvey in the development of Black rights. The occasion reflects on Marcus Garvey's influential prophecy. Poetry is recited recalling the historical importance of Marcus Garvey. African dance is also encouraged.
-Ethiopian New Year's Day (11th September)
The start of the New Year in Ethiopia is recognised because Rastafarians believe Ethiopia to be their spiritual homeland, and a place to which they want to return.

-Crowning of Emperor Haile Selassie I (2nd November)

Commemorates the Coronation of Ras Tafari, as Emperor Haile Selassie I, King of Ethiopia in 1930.
The high priest reads Biblical passages and initiates the singing of songs to re-emphasise the importance of Haile Selassie as Messiah. A Nyabingi meeting also takes place to remember Haile Selassie.
       At the bottom line, whatever our religion and beliefs are, We should celebrate everyday as Christmas. Just like what Bob Marley said, everybody in this world should unite, whether you're a black, white and ofcourse, 'kayumanggi' MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!

NyJAH Huston

nyJAH huston:

He's one of the most famous skateboarders in the history of extreme sports, and the youngest one I think.


Nyjah Huston started skating when he was around 5 years old, and rides goofy. He was the youngest-ever X Games competitor, and has been competing against professionals since August 2009. He is featured in Element Skateboards videos This is My Element and Elementality, as well as a Silver Trucks video, Silver in Barcelona.On November 11, 2011, Huston released his very own video, Rise & Shine, under Element Skateboards.
In December 2008, Huston left Element Skateboards, and in July 2009, started his own skateboard company, I&I Skateboards.In January 2011, Huston went back to Element.Huston won the inaugural Kentucky Unbridled Spirit Award for Action Sports. On July 30, 2011, Huston won gold for Skateboard Street at X Games 17.


Nyjah is also a Jamaican, and I probably think that he  is a rastaman or if he's not he's a fan of Bob marley. Some proofs are his naturaly grown dreadlocks, his skateboarding company name "I&I" which is a rastafarian term for "we". You can see on the video below that his element skateboard has a rastafarian designed deck. Red, yellow and green with the emblem of the Lion of Judah.

The number one suspect



I was really rocked by this band's sound. A fusion of progressive rock with a touch of heavy metal.Whenever their tune enters my eardrums, I start to bang my head. With the band's deep lyrics and heavy sounding melody, they managed to enter the stage of pinoy rock scene. Also known as the "SUPER BAND" of the pinoy rock, they popularized some rock songs with rastafarian messages behind each word. Songs such as "Song for the suspect" and "Touch the sky". I also snap at a poster of Bob Marley in one of their music videos "Castaway" proving that the ragga king is one of their musical influences. They are pinoy rock scene's number one suspect in terms of  distinct sound and music genre I even called as RASTA-ROCK. They are "INYODUBQUESO NI EDGAR" *laughs* kiddin' they are FRANCO.


HISTORY:
Franco started as a collaboration project between its members, who are veterans of the Pinoy rock scene. However, Franco's roots are traced from the Cebu-based band Frank, which Reyes formed in 1996. Frank was one of the bands that boosted the Cebu rock scene, In late 2008, Gabby Alipe, Mendoza, Toleran and Meneses collaborated with Reyes, who returned to the Philippines, to form Franco.


MEMBERS:

Franco Reyes of Inyo (Frank) - rhythm guitar, lead vocals
Gabby Alipe (urbandub) - rhythm guitar, vocals
Paolo "ocho" Toleran (queso) - lead guitar
Jan-jan Mendoza (urbandub) - drums
Buhawi Meneses (parokya ni edgar) - bass guitar

rastafari in boxing???

Okay, so first of all, I want to congratulate Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao for beating the mexicano dinamita Juan Manuel Marquez for the second time around. You made our country proud once again! That was indeed a very close and thrilling fight! So stop the controversies, arguments and doubts, Filipinos are one of the best fighters in the world. Greetings and salutations sir!


   As the title of this post says, is there really a rastafarian personality in the history of professional boxing? Well, I really don't know but there is a connection between the two I think. "WHO IS THE MISSING LINK?" *laughs* I was really wondering if this famous heavyweight boxing champ is a devoted rastafarian. Who am I talking about? I'm talking about LENOX "THE LION" LEWIS. A jamaican boxer who managed to beat boxing legends such as Evander Holyfield, Mike "Iron Man" Tyson an Hassim Rahman.



BIOGRAPHY:
Lennox Claudius Lewis,  (born September 2, 1965) is a retired boxer and the most recent undisputed world heavyweight champion. He holds dual British and Canadian citizenship. As an amateur he won gold representing Canada at the 1988 Olympic Games after defeating future heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe in the final.
Lewis turned professional in 1989, winning his first 21 fights. In 1992 he knocked out Donovan Ruddock to take over the number one position in the World Boxing Council (WBC) rankings and eventually be declared WBC heavyweight champion in 1993. Lewis lost the title to Oliver McCall in 1994 but defeated McCall in a rematch to win the vacant WBC title in 1997. Lewis went on to defend the title four times, becoming the Lineal Champion after beating Shannon Briggs by KO in 1998. He became undisputed champion after defeating Evander Holyfield in November 1999. After defeating Mike Tyson by KO in 2002 and stopping Vitali Klitschko in 2003, Lennox Lewis retired from boxing in 2004.
Throughout his professional career, Lewis suffered two losses, both of which he avenged in rematches, both by knockout. Along with Evander Holyfield, Lewis has won three heavyweight championships.

I was really bothered, is it just a coincidence that he is a Jamaican who is wearing dreadlocks and his boxing alias is "The Lion" (the lion of judah?) I also watched a replay of one of his fights (greatest fights of the centuries at ABC 5)  which he wears a red-gold-green colored boxing trunks. Another thing is he played the song "If Jah is by my side by tony rebel" in his entrance in one of his fights. But still, I can' find any information in the web to support my idea that he is a rastafarian boxer HAHAHA. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME IF HE'S REALLY A RASTAMAN?!?!



my first RASTAFARIAN POEM :DD

Salute! Hopefully maintindihan ng readers ng issue ng publication namin ang message ng poem na to. Even though I know that some people might misinterpret this one HAHA. So this is it! My first ever poem containing rastafarian thoughts. And of course! Credits to TIMOTHY EVANGELISTA SANTIAGO for the AWESOME RASTA LAYOUT, salutations sir!

(i-zoom in mo na lang sa kung hindi mabasa ung ibang lines. haha
SEE THE P-E-A-C-E WORD? :DD

S.O.J.A



Inspired by my classmate's favorite reggae band and the lead vocals naturally grown dreadlocks (they are not artificially knotted), I decided to put this band on my blog. They are one of the famous reggae artists in the music scene at this point. Soldiers Of Jah Army or simply S.O.J.A. 


BIOGRAPHY:


Jacob Hemphill (vocals, guitar) and Bob Jefferson (bass) met in first grade shortly after Hemphill had returned with his family from living in Africa, where Jacob's father was a defense contractor in Uganda. He and Jefferson then met Eric Rogers (keyboards, harmony vocals) (later replaced by Patrick O’Shea in 2003), Ryan Berty (drums), and Ken Brownell (percussion) in middle and high school. After forming SOJA, they recorded their first album, the self-titled Soldiers of Jah Army, independently with sound engineer Jim Fox at LION and FOX Recording Studios in 2000. The band released their first full-length album, Peace in a Time of War, in 2002. SOJA then released a Dub version of the album titled Dub in a Time of War in 2005. In 2006, the band released Get Wiser, their second full-length album. It debuted in the Top 10 Reggae Albums on iTunes and has remained in the top 100 since its release. The album release party was held on January 6, 2006 at The State Theatre in Falls Church, Virginia. It consisted of two separate sets, with the opening set being older songs, and the second set being Get Wiser in its entirety. The show was recorded and was released as a DVD, known as the Get Wiser Live DVD, on November 21, 2007. In January 2008, they released an EP titled, Stars and Stripes. That same month in Hawaii, SOJA recorded their live performances in Oahu, Maui, and Kailua-Kona. Those performances were released as a DVD, known as the SOJA – Live in Hawaii, on January 8, 2009. Most recently, SOJA released their third full-length album Born in Babylon on August 25, 2009.
                                            (YOU AND ME BY S.O.J.A)

                                         (REST OF MY LIFE BY S.O.J.A)
       his voice gives me an irie feelin LOL. Closing your eyes while listening to their songs will make you feel like your on the beach, lying in the sand in front of bonfire with a bottle of ice cold beer and a couple of hot chicks dancing on your way. HAHA!

Turn Your Lights Down Low

First of all, I wanna congratulate miss Philippines for winning the second place in the miss world beauty pageant held last week. Filipinas are truly beautiful, talented and intelligent. Greetings and salutations! You made our country proud once again. 


Speaking of miss world, did you know that Bob Marley's former wife Cindy breakspeare was crowned as miss world way back 1976? She is the mother of the Damian Marley, a grammy award winning reggae artist and her son to Bob Marley.

(Bob Marley with Cindy Breakspear at New York city)
Breakspeare was born in Toronto Canada to a Jamaican father Louis Breakspeare and a Canadian mother, Marguerite Cochrane. Cindy also has 2 brothers, Steven Breakspeare and John Spence. She moved to Jamaica when she was four years old, and as a teenager she began participating in beauty pageants, including Miss Jamaica Body Beautiful and Miss Universe Bikini. She was invited to participate in the Miss world competition in 1976; she traveled to London and won the title on November 19, 1976, becoming the second Jamaican to do so.
She Married senator and attorney-at-law Tom Tavares-Finson in 1981 with whom she has a son Christian (1982) and a daughter Leah (1986). Breakspeare and Tavares-Finson divorced in 1995.



 (Cindy Breakspeare and son Damian Marley)
She is also the inspiration of Bob Marley's song "Turn Your Lights Down Low". He illustrated their romance in the song.

Marley



LIFE AND EARLY CAREER.

Born Rober Nesta Marley on February 6, 1945 at nine mile in St. Anne Parish. His father was Norval Sinclair Marley (a white jamaican) who is a captain in the royal marines and his mother Cedella Booker (black jamaican) because of this, Marley was questioned about his racial identity in an early age.
     Marley left school at a young age of 14. He become friends with Neville "Bunny" Livingston (a.k.a Bunny Wailer) and Joe Higgs, the two are both devoted Rastafarians. Later on he became friends with Peter McIntosh (a.k.a Peter Tosh) who also have similar music interests. In 1963 the three together with some other friends, they created a Band and called themselves as "The Teenagers", the name was then changed into "The Wailing Rudeboys" then later became "The Wailing Wailers" and finally "The Wailers".
     Though Marley was raised as a catholic, Bob became a devoted rastafarian, influenced by his friends and bandmates.After a few years of recording his reggae songs, the american hit chart was blasted by Bob marley's compositions. Bob popularized the songs "Catch a Fire", "Get up, stand up!" "I shot the Sheriff" and "One cup of coffee". In the early 1970's despite of their fame and success, Bunny and Peter left Bob in the band. Marley continued recording such songs under the band name "Bob Marley and the Wailers" with his new backing band and girl singers known as the "I threes" consisting Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths and Bob's wife Rita Marley. Songs such as "No woman no cry" "Waiting in vain" "One love" "Buffalo soldier" "Natty Dreads" etc. was recorded under this band set-up.
    
MUSIC:
    Most of his songs are based and inspired by his rastafarian beliefs. He created songs to worship the whole rastafari nation, songs such as "Rastaman Vibration", "Zion Train", "Iron Lion Zion" and of course! He wrote songs to promote the legalization of the holy herb (ganja) songs like "I Shot The Sheriff", "Legalize Marijuana". Another message of Marley's songs is revolution. As we all know, Bob Marley became an active activist in his time. Writing songs for revolution and government change. Bob also performed in the "ONE LOVE PEACE CONCERT" in Jamaica to let the two opposing forces in the government unite as one.  Love and peace are another message of his songs. Love for mankind in the United Nation's award winning song "One Love" and also his song for his wife "Cindy Breakspear" and miss world 1976 entitled "Turn Your Lights Down Low"


LEGACY:
    1976 band of the year award (Rolling Stone)
    Peace Medal of the third world (United Nations)
    Jamaican Order of merit (3rd Jamaican Highest Honor)
    Rock and roll Hall of fame (1994) Hollywood
    Hollywood walk of fame (2001)
    11th on 100th greatest artist of all time (Rolling Stone)

ROOTS, ROCK,REGGAE

           Reggae is one of the most popular genres in the field of music. Accompanied by it's unique tone, beats of percussion, groovy trumpet sounds and awesome bass line rhythm, it is the perfect genre to  express love, peace, unity and happiness.
           Reggae music originated from Jamaica in the late 1960's originated from the tones and music style of SKA and ROCKSTEADY. The musical term reggae came from a rocksteady hit entitled "DO THE REGGAY" by the Maytals. But reggae king Bob Marley claimed that the term reggae came from a spanish word that means "To the king".
           As we all know. Reggae music is always associated with rastafarianism. Honestly saying, whenever  a person saw the colors of the ethiopian flag (red, gold and green) it is reggae music and not rastafari that comes first to their minds. Reggae music is always accompanied with rastafarianism because of the world renowned reggae superstar, Bob Marley (from the wailers). Because Bob Marley is a  devoted jamaican rastafarian, he wrote songs to worship his religion and to spread the words of Jah. Peace, Love, Unity and hope are the message of most of his songs. Bob Marley and the wailers are also the ones who popularized reggae music in the world. That is why rastafari movement also spread because of the music of Marley.
         Reggae songs nowadays are very popular. It became one of the world's leading genre. Another reason is the impact the Bob Marley left. He is one of the musical influences of some of the greatest musicians in the present time. Just like what Bob Marley said,  "reggae music is the heart of the people".


Here are some popular reggae bands and artists. Local and international.


-Bob Marley and the Wailers (One Love, No woman No cry,Buffalo soldier etc.)
               
-Big Mountain (Baby I love your way, carribean blue)
               
-Damian Marley *reggae hip-hop* (welcome to jamrock)
               
-Jeck Pilpil and the Peace pipe *local artist* (Boracay sunrise, Watawat)
             
-Tropical Depression *local* (lipad pinoy, bilog na naman ang buwan)
                 
-Black Dyak (good boy, Modelong charing)
                 
-Bruno Mars *reggae with a mix of RnB and Acoustic (Liquor store blues, Billionaire)

So what Rastafari is?

                                                                   
 Okay, so because this blog is all about Rastafari stuffs, let's begin discussing what this "RAS-TA-FAR-I" really means.
Brief History:
        The name came from the word "Ras" which means Prince and Tafari Makonnen, the name of the emperor of ethiopia from 1930 - 1974 the person that the rastafarian people worships as god's reincarnation.. He is also known as Heile Selassie I.Rastafari is a religious movement that arose in in 1930's. Rasta's are most popular for using marijuana or cannabis for spiritual purposes. They reject the western principles of living. A Roman Catholic and a black Jamaican named Marcus Garvey (known as a Rastafarian prophet) spread Rastafari in Jamaica. They also believe that africa is the root of mankind. They also portray that Africa is "Zion" or the land that Jah promised to them. Rasta's way of living is also based in the bible such as christians they just differ in some aspects.


Jah:
        Rastafarians worships a god (Heile Selassie I), they also called him Jah or Jah Rastafari. Some Studies said that Jah came from the Hebrew word "yah" or "yahweh" wich also means God, But it is also believed that  it came from the biblican name "Jehovah". It can also be found in the term "Hallelujah" which means "praise god" in christians. That is why Jah is often used rastafarian phrases such as "Jah bless" and "Jah Rastafari"


Bible Scriptures:
         Rastafarians used some bible verses as their basis and guide in the way they live. Some are  
Revelations 5:5 - Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."
Ezekiel 28:25 - 
Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
Leviticus 21:5.  - They shall not make any baldness on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.


Marijuana, Ganja, Cannabis, Weeds:
      Rastafarians uses this kind of herb in their gatherings or rituals. They believed that smoking herb  brings you closer to jah. They also believe that It is created for a sacred purpose so it should be legalized for modern government prohibits smoking marijuana for it's side effects.
Genesis 1:11 "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."
Genesis 1:29 "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb-bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
Genesis 3:18 "... thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Psalms 104:14 "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man."
Proverbs 15:17 "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith


Dreadlocks
     Wearing dreadlocks is not always a sign of rastafarianism. But is is where rastafarian people are popular of. For they grow their hair long and let it form locks naturally by washing it with pure water only.
As it name describes, wearing dreadlocks means having fear to god and it is also said that it is the oldest form of styling hair for saints like John the baptist wears it. Rastas also called it as the crowning glory. But dreadlocks is not must if your a rastafarian.


Diet:
      Rastas eat limited variety of meat based on the dietary laws of the old testament. Shellfish and pork are prohibited for they believe that eating meat means touching death. That is why most rastas are vegetarian. Drinking alcohol is also prohibited for they believe that it is the destruction of the man.


Black,Red, Gold and Green:
      Many of us were familiar with this combinations of color, with gold also portrayed as yellow.Commonly associated with badges, shirts, tams, caps, posters etc. This colors came from the flag of Ethiopia. Which Garvey used to represent Africa. Red is for the blood of the African Martyrs. Gold is for the wealth for Ethiopia is said to be the mining center of Africa, Green is for the beauty and nature of Africa and black is for the color of thy men.


Lion of Judah:
The lion of Judah is one of the symbols of rastafarianism. It appears on the flag of Ethiopia. The lion symbolizes Jah or god as the king of kings as the lion is said to be the king of animal kingdom.
