A wise man once said that a prophet is never honored in his own country. And so it has been with Capleton. While the veteran DJ s words and works long ago earned him the title of The Prophet , the respect and honor that should rightfully be his have been a long time coming.

The News Journal & Reggae Jam brings island rhythms

JDP'S owner...
*Jamaican Dave* said the Jam started in Trenton, N.J., as a birthday party, then grew to a regular event that has been moving from location to location throughout the region.
He now sees the events as a way to bring the culture of his native country to others. "It's a way of life," he said, and he thinks the music and the culture are intertwined. Although he hoped that the sounds, sights and smells might make some guests think they had been transported to Jamaica.
The Big Kahuna
Says Jamaican Dave Productions founder/CEO, David Russell, "The Delaware Valley has a strong presence of individuals of Caribbean descent and those who enjoy the culture. He continues to brings the Carribean Vibe to us!

Buju Banton US Tour Is On!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Open Letter From Tracii McGregor, President - Gargamel Music
THE VOICE OF JAMAICA WILL NOT BE SILENCED
- Four-Time Grammy Nominated Reggae Star Buju Banton's US Tour Is On -
(New York, NY -
3, September 2009)
Gargamel Music is pleased to confirm that
four-time Grammy nominated Reggae artist and
icon, Buju Banton will kick off his hotly
anticipated Rasta Got Soul US Tour on
September 12th in Philadelphia. We are
disappointed by the hasty cancellation of a few shows
by Live Nation/House of Blues and Goldenvoice/AEG,
but fans will be happy to know we have over 30
confirmed shows that are definitely playing and we are
working to replace the canceled dates. Now our team
is primarily concerned with setting the record straight
on the grossly inaccurate portrait of Buju being
painted by certain organizations and systematically
relayed to the masses and the media.
Buju Banton was all of 15-years-old when he wrote
"Boom Bye Bye" in response to a widely publicized
man/boy rape case in Jamaica. It was not a call to
violence. The song was re-released on a popular
dancehall rhythm in 1992 and caused a huge uproar
after receiving commercial radio play in the States.
Following much public debate back then, prominent
gay rights leaders - and Buju decidedly moved on.
For the record, it is the only song he ever made on the
subject - and he does not perform it today.
Those who have followed Buju Banton's musical
journey and have actually listened to his extensive
catalog, know of his development into a world-class
singer, songwriter and performer who can quietly sell
out such prestigious venues as the Theater at
Madison Square Garden in New York and Brixton
Academy in London. He does not advocate violence.
There has never been a shred of violence at any of his
live shows. In fact, he commonly preaches against
violence - against all people.
Buju's consistently positive messages of peace, love
and enlightenment have never been lost in the music.
His 1995 Grammy-nominated album 'Til
Shiloh marked a spiritual and musical
transformation that yielded the classic narratives
"Untold Stories," "Wanna Be Loved" and "Murderer,"
which personified the horrific increase in gun crimes in
Kingston's inner city. His Grammy-nominated
Inna Heights (1997) garnered him
numerous comparisons to the late, great Bob Marley.
Long before Hollywood raised its collective
consciousness about Darfur, there was Buju Banton
wailing about the genocide happening in "Sudan" on
1999's Unchained Spirit . His
Friends For Life (2003)
and Too Bad (2006) projects were both
acknowledged with Grammy nods for Best Reggae
Album. Buju's latest Roots Reggae opus, Rasta
Got
Soul (2009), has already been welcomed with
critical
acclaim in the US, Europe and Japan.
The artist's love for humanity is not just demonstrated
in words but also in deeds. Twelve years ago he
responded to the AIDS crisis in Jamaica by launching
Operation Willy, an organization focused on raising
monies for HIV positive babies and children who lost
their parents to the disease. For three years he served
as a celebrity spokesperson for Upliftment Jamaica, a
US-based non-profit committed to working with
underprivileged youth back home.
Yet none of these personal and professional
accomplishments matter much to a gay lobby hell bent
on destroying the livelihood of a man who has spent
an entire career making amends -- his way. Sadly,
their 17 year fixation on waging war against one artist
has prevented them from turning this initiative into a
larger, more fruitful discussion that could perhaps
effect real change.
