Live Video :: Leyona, Dry & Heavy, Pushim, Determinations, Little Tempo,
Reggae Disco Rockers,...Tokie
lotsa goodies. as everyone knows Japan has one of the strongest and
progressive Jamaican music scenes. this site, Beach Cafe Sunset (a
Summer Music Festival), has lots of high quality streaming video of live
performances from last year's festival by groove oriented acts
celebrating the lovely sounds of Jamaica: ragga, dub, dancehall; and
also traditional japanese (Taiko). mostly excellent, some great, some
ok. several of them have been mentioned here before including Dry and
Heavy (the excellent, internationally renown reggae/dub group), Little
Tempo (breezy jamaican; has worked with UA), Leyona (great folky, funky
soul; has worked with Theatre Brook and G Love Sauce), Reggae Disco
Rockers (just fun stuff), Determinations (sweet band; worked with Ego
Wrappin'), Pushim, ....
*of special note, if you take a look at the Leyona video you'll see that
Tokie (!) is playing bass in the band--Tokie is 1/4 of the amazing
UA-fronted Ajico rock band.*
