   About Asheber & The Afrikan Revolution
Born in London, England in 1965, Niles "Asheber" Hailstones is a Multi-Talented Musician, Producer and Workshop leader in the 'Edutainment' mould. His Debut Solo Album "Time Traveller - Returning Thru The Door Of No Return" is an eclectic yet seamless mixture of the music of the African diaspora, and features some of the best musicians on the International and UK scene including: Pee Wee Ellis (The JB's) Tunde Jegede, Winston (Saxton) Rose, Derek (Musicalist) Johnson, Adesose Wallace, Anthony (Drumtan) Ward and the late great Egyptian Master- flautist Maher Khairy. Niles started playing Trumpet in the late 80s with various local bands, mainly in the West London area. These included: Inflight,Wisdom, and the Black Jazz Orchestra. By the beginning of the ’90s, he was a member of veteran Roots Reggae group Misty In Roots, with whom he traveled to Africa on three occasions (Zimbabwe 1990, Sierra Leone 1991 and Ghana 1994). These journeys were to prove formative for the artist’s future work and vision…. Whilst embarking on the journey to Ghana in ’94, he visited the old Slave ports and Castles of Cape Coast & Elmina and received his rites of passage "Returning Thru The Door Of No Return" with Nana Okofu of the 'One Africa' Organisation. It was during this important musical period that he also became an original member of Old School British Hip Hop groups NSO Force and 11:59 and first emerged as Asheber on the NSO underground classic recordings "Chains" and "Freeman”. Asheber spent the following years up to 2005 widening his horizons even further, touring the world, recording, producing and working with a wide variety of artists that include: Junior Delgado, U-Roy, Winston 'Saxton' Rose, Hardskin, Urban Breeze, Prince Lincoln, Michael Rose and Freddie McGregor. During this time he also found the creative space to collaborate with more London-based artists including: Noel McKoy, Alison Evelyn & 4hero. Not content to be an innovator and musical artist in his own right, Asheber has continuously found the time to provide Djembe & Storytelling Workshops/Performances (Ancient Lyrics, Mothership, Got2Remember) for schools and local community groups across the U.K. Always with an eye on the future, he has nurtured his family group Got2Remember, bringing through the younger members of the creative community who have their own story to tell. This project goes from strength to strength and is now a regular feature at Asheber concerts and teaching events. Asheber continues his work as a community activist till today and is a founder member of the Bese Saka Arts Foundation: The Umbrella Arts Group Of The Diaspora, and it’s collective band Children Of Aya, which features fellow members Derek (Musicalist) Johnson, Winston (Saxton) Rose & Adesose Wallace. The sum total of all these insperiences form the basis of this debut album release: "Time Traveller”. Alongside the Children of Aya band Asheber welcomes you to be part of the journey…. The Story (and the Revolution) continues.... YOU CAN NOW DOWNLOAD SONGS FROM THE ALBUM "TIME TRAVELLER - RETURNING THRU THE DOOR OF NO RETURN @ http://www.broadjam.com/asheber - THIS IS DESTINED TO BE THE UNDERGROUND ALBUM OF 2007 - HERE IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ASHEBER - "An Awesome Sound" - EARTH WIND & FIRE - "Some very dignified music...Miles would have played the heck out of ''Journey To Kush' - JOSEPH WOOTEN - "He called it a journey to kush THE DOORS OF NO RETURN where spirit is alive and often hearts yearn music a dialect unbroken skins an amber token of hues unspoken tone beating fiery sounds into beautifully burned song.... crafted muse you are in the shape of a man touching pass earth painted only by Gods gentle hands vibrating my soul reconnecting diasporas loosely stitched but left unsown" - NATIVE TONGUE - "Free like a bird" - ROHAN 'RUGGU' MARLEY***************************

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers.
So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin.
Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother.
Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth.
If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
~ Unknown ~

Thanksgiving  Prayer
We return thanks to our mother, the earth,
which sustains us.
We return thanks to the rivers and streams,
which supply us with water.
We return thanks to all herbs,
which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.
We return thanks to the moon and stars,
which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.
We return thanks to the sun,
that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.
Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,
in Whom is embodied all goodness,
and Who directs all things for the good of Her children.

Fruitful Mind

Spiritually,
You are like a tree, standing tall and strong
With roots that go much deeper than our wrong;
See, you remember the richness of our history,
Before slavery,
When we ruled as kings and queens,
Scientists and inventors,
Building empires.

And today, you bear the mark of our ancestors;
You are a strong black man,
Both physically and mentally
You have a fruitful mind
With a heart of gold,
Your thoughts, words and actions are aligned
You can do whatever you put your mind to,
There's nothing stopping you from reaching your goals

So let's work together to build a future,
One where the sun always shines in our minds
Where happiness reigns supreme,
Where we live a life of abundance,
And live the life of our dreams.
