Ziggy Marley is the oldest and possibly more mellow of reggae legend Bob Marleys children and his music reflects the calm gentle side of Bobs music. Ziggy seems to have been the most influenced by the optimistic passionate side where other sons like Damian and Stephen are more like the militant Marcus Garvey influenced rasta warrior ho chants about life in the ghetto and fighting for your rights. There are two distinct styles in Bobs music and Ziggy and Damian exemplify the oppposite ends of the spectrum.
This new album is title Family Time and it features Ziggy along with friends and family including his son Judah and others such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Willie Nelson and Paul Simon in an inspirational compilation for everyone to enjoy. Ziggy has truly grown into his own and this album reflects a maturity in his music that I do not think we have experienced before. His early songs sounded more childlike than these and they include children singing in them. I’ll leave it up to you to decide but it’s well worth the price of a download to check out the new Ziggy Marley album with his son Judah.

Say the name Mavado or start up one of his infamous songs anywhere in Jamaica and it is sure to kick up more noise than the stereo can blast. He is one of Jamaica’s most infamous dancehall artistes with a cult following on the island that has divided a nation between two warring camps due to the ongoing battle between him and his nemesis in the Portmore Empire one Mr Vybz Kartel.
Mavado is a member of the Bounty Killer Alliance and “The Warlord” has had his fight with Vybz who was a beat maker for Killa over a number of hit songs. Mavado has been crowned the new King of Dancehall by some and the self proclaimed King himself Beenie Man has weighed in to say that his status as number one seller from the 90’s until recent years keeps him as the top man to beat still.
The battle should hit it’speak this at Reggae SumFest this year where all parties involved are scheduled to appear on stage on the same day. It’s going to be a night to remember if you are able to make it. ZuneMAX will be there in force with partners Jamaica and Reggae for live coverage of the events as they unfold.
