   About JahQuest
THE BAND IS ON A BRIEF HIATUS AS I (BRYAN) AM WORKING ON A MUSIC DEGREE AND WORKING AS A FREELANCE MUSICIAN (GUITARIST) FOR REGULAR UPDATES CHECK OUT FACEBOOK.COM/BRYANAVEY OR FACEBOOK.COM/JAHQUEST .......................JahQuest has coined the term “Brazilian Reggae” to describe their unique blend of Brazilian styles such as Samba, Baiao, Capoeira and Afoxe’ with the traditional roots reggae of the late seventies. JahQuest was officially founded in 2002, however the first CD was released June 2007. Their songs are in English and Portuguese and their sound in comparison to other bands ranges from Third World, Steel Pulse to Brazilian groups O Rappa and Chico Science. Official band members are: Bryan Avey, the lead vocalist/guitarist also the composer and arranger for all the songs. Andre Luther, drummer and back up vocalist. Jacques Lilavois, bassist and back up vocalist. Edu-Bahia, percussionist. Often times the band is a five piece with an additional percussionist making certain Brazilian sounds more complete. In 1998 Bryan Avey, who grew up in Brazil since the age of three was a child of a missionary family, arrived in California from Brazil, with intent on developing this “Brazilian Reggae” he had in his mind. Bryan met Andre while attending a Brazilian church in Culver City, Ca. The next few years the two carried the band through some difficult times and a constant changing of musicians. EduBahia shared the vision of the music as well, being one who fervently loves reggae and Afro-Brazilian music. The last member to join was Jacques Lilavois, of Haitian descent, a perfect feel for the bass. There is also an honorable mention...Jennifer V! Percussionist from East L.A. who has been several months now sitting in on the action! DigStation - Indie Music Downloads

Thank you for the friendship & all the love !

I have a new tune on my other myspace called 'Jazzy Blue' ~

This is the first time I've gotten to record within my brand spanking new ~ totally optimized Ashram / Asylum ~ & I must say with  this updated digital recording facility & some new axes to grind ~ it is truly a luxury at it's finest ~ at least it is for me me me !!!!!
So here it is ~ just a rhythm track I'd made over the last couple of days ~ in order to  acclimate myself with all the new toys I now have at my disposal . . . 
I'll be writing lots of new lyrics as well as new music ~ for both of my upcoming projects ~ the follow-up to my debut CD now available on Moiko Records ~ it's a new concept album I've been (Ben) working on for over a year & a half ~ as well as the awesome new version of The Altruistic Messiah's latest touring band ~ a line up consisting of life long friends & a few of the most amazingly talented new individuals I have just recently had the honor to become associated with !
I am always wishing each & every one of you the very best ~ & this continues to be the primary focus of any & all communication between us as individuals ~ it is my belief that this concern is fundamental in the advancement of humanity ~ & that this is the reason we are alive ~ that this is what we are living for ~ as human nature must transcend into something greater than it ever has been (Ben) ~ as every single one of us collectively evolve into everything we are destined to realize ~ & we must leave no man or woman behind ~ FUCK WAR ~ I know I go way off the beat & path often ~ but I love everyone !!!!!!
Peace, Ben
P.S. PLease don't forget to attend my CD Release Party at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip ~ It starts at 3:00 P.M.
November 1st & of course YOU ARE INVITED !
