BIOGRAPHY! Hayes Kali Thurton; singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer has been an ambassador for Canadian reggae music since 1976. Growing up in Trinidad, Kali and his family moved to Toronto n 1972. A student in sciences at University of Toronto at the time, Kali found himself absorbing the culture of Rasta. With the likes of Reggae greats Leroy Sibbles, Johnny Osborne, Ernie Smith, Jackie Mitto and Carline Davis on the scene, Kali was able to learn the ropes in this distinguished environment. After some years in Toronto gigging and touring, kali packed up and moved to Montreal . In 1980, he joined a young group of rastas called Selah. Although only together for 3 years, the band shared the stage with numerous international acts like UB40, Steel Pulse, Gregory Isaac, Black Uhuru, the Clash, and more luminaries of the time. Kali then launched Dub Trio, a three piece group which expanded to Dub U 5, a twelve piece multi-cultural outfit that lasted for 5 years and further established Kali on the Montreal scene. Kali's fourth and longest running band is Kali and Dub. Started in 1986, Kali and Dub has proved to be a comfort zone for Kali. The band released two vinyl; EP-Uncensored Reggae, and LP- Human Rights. In 1996 the band released their first CD- Rise Up which was subsequently nominated for a Juno award. Along with wins as Best Live Reggae Band at The Toronto Reggae awards, Best World Beat Band at the Montreal Independent Music Award in two years running, Kali solidified his name as a leading local and national musician. Kali and Dub has shared the stage with acts like The Wailers, Burning Spear, Aswad, Ziggy Marley, Black Uhuru, The Meditations, and the Mighty Sparrow among many others. The band's second CD Weapons of Mass Construction continued in the reggae tradition of roots and culture, dancehall and calypso. Holding true to his philosophy and integrity, Kali's music continues to grow even today. With the planned release of a new CD this summer, Kali's music is more socially relevant and stronger than ever today. The maturity gained through years of consistent recording and performing is unmistakeable. A positive message, a great voice and a riveting live performance is what Kali has bringing to reggae and Canadian music for nearly three decades.

Reggae Music in Canada, according to the Canadian Encyclopedia Historica

Reggae. Caribbean/black music genre. Its introduction, in Jamaica, is dated to the song 'Do the Reggay' (1968) by Toots (Hibbert) and the Maytals, but its pre-history lies in a fusion of the indigenous calypso form 'mento' with US R&B, jump blues and shuffles, emerging first (ca 1957) as the upbeat, largely instrumental, horn-dominated 'ska' and then (ca 1966) in the slower, subtler songs of 'rock steady'. The keyboard player and composer Jackie Mittoo was one of many important figures in the evolution of ska through rock steady to reggae. The etymology of 'reggae' is apocryphal - perhaps a verbalization of the music's trademark rhythmic guitar scratch ('reggae-reggae'), or a derivation of 'streggae' (patois for 'rudeness'), 'regular,' or 'raggamuffin' (the last a reference to the downtrodden youth of Kingston).

Recordings 1968-72 by Desmond Dekker & The Aces ('Israelites'), Jimmy Cliff, Bob (Andy) & Marcia (Griffiths), Greyhound, and Dave and Ansel Collins carried reggae's bouyant rhythms (with their singular emphasis on the third beat of 4/4 metre), prominent bass pulse, and melodic and soulful vocals beyond the Caribbean. These recordings in turn set the stage for The Wailers, whose LP Catch a Fire (1972) launched the international career of the singer Bob Marley (1945-1981), the first pop 'super star' to emerge from the Third World. Marley's 'Jah music,' which spoke for the dispossessed, honored African culture and upheld the political and theological tenets of his Rastafarian faith, has had both great popularity and inestimable influence throughout the world.

Canada's reception to and acculturation of reggae followed the same pattern as that of the United Kingdom and the USA, where Jamaicans also settled in the late 1950s and early 1950s. At first they imported music from Jamaica for entertainment and recreation and then began to promote and record their own music in competition with - and eventually for the appreciation of - the established Jamaican culture. Pioneers in the 1960s included Toronto's first ska and rock steady groups, the Rivals, the Sheiks, the Cougars, and the Cavaliers, who took their place alongside Byron Lee and the Dragonaires and other visiting bands. Favored venues at this time in Toronto, which would become the centre of reggae in Canada and indeed one of its hotbeds in North America, included the WIF (West Indian Federation) Club, Club Jamaica, Tiger's Den, and the Blue Angel. The first artist to record reggae in Canada was Jackie Mittoo, followed by Stranger Cole, Tony Eden, Audley Williams, the Webber Sisters, Leroy Brown, and Joe Issacs.

In 1976 Toronto's Ishan People made the first of two albums for GRT. In the next 15 years, however, few would be the reggae artists - Messenjah, Sattalites, Leroy Sibbles - to record for a major Canadian label. Sibbles, who sang rock steady with the Heptones in Jamaica during the mid-1960s, moved to Toronto in 1973 and has made albums for Micron, Boot, A & M (the reggae-rock Evidence, with the participation of Bruce Cockburn, whose own 'Wondering Where the Lions Are' showed a reggae influence), and Attic. With the world-wide demand during the late 1970s for reggae, recording activity in Canada also increased; Nana McLean, One Love (featuring the guitarist Tony Campbell), Ital Groove, Winston Hewitt, and Earth, Roots and Water, were among the performers heard at this time.

During a period of intense political and social turbulence 1972-82 in Jamaica, a number of then-current and future stars took up self-imposed exile in Toronto and elsewhere in southern Ontario, bringing a measure of visibility and creative vitality to the domestic reggae scene. Among them: the singer and songwriter Ernie Smith (whose Roots Revival would evolve by 1980 into the integrated group Bloodfire), Carlene Davis, Ken Boothe, Willie Williams, Fabienne Miranda, Joe Cooper, and the comedic singer Lovindeer (who wrote songs for Ishan People). The 'roots rocker' Johnny Osbourne sang for Ishan People under the name Bumpy Jones before returning on the band's demise in 1980 to Jamaica. The record producer Prince Jammy(Lloyd James), whose 'sleng teng' computerized 'riddim' launched the 'DJ-style' (or 'dancehall') reggae variant (toasting or 'talkover,' to sparse rhythm tracks) in 1985, lived in relative obscurity in Toronto during the 1970s.

Through the 1980s domestic reggae flourished in Vancouver (Mango Dub, Chester Miller, and Ras Lee), Montreal (Kali & Dub) and Toronto (R. Zee Jackson, Lazo, Noel Ellis, Truth & Rights, Mojah, Adrian Miller, 20th Century Rebels, and Jimmy Reid). Messenjah, recognized as Canada's leading roots-reggae band, was formed in Kitchener, Ont, in 1981. Jamaica's major artists toured to Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal; in Toronto a club circuit that has included the Soul Palace, Karib Tavern, Pirate's Cove, BamBoo, the Silver Dollar, and the Real Jerk Pit has served local reggae performers.

One hallmark of Canadian reggae has been the melodicism of, and relative absence of confrontation in, its songs, which is considered a legacy of the country&..39;s conservatism and placid social ambience. Another is the rise of integrated bands, most prominently Chalawa (led 1977-82 by the producer John Forbes), Bloodfire 1980-4, the Sattalites (formed in 1981 by the flugelhorn player Jo Jo Bennett and the singer Fergus Hambleton), and Boncongonistas, One, Fujahtive, Revelation, and Sunforce, all active in the early 1990s.

Reflecting the continuing evolution of reggae internationally, several dub poets - poets inspired by the example of Britain's Linton Kwesi Johnson to read their verses to the rhythms of electronically-altered, instrumental 'dub' tracks - emerged in the mid-1980s from the literati of Toronto's black community, including Lillian Allen, Clifton Joseph, and Devon Haughton. The dominant influence of hip hop (rap) on black music in 1990 and 1991 encouraged Carla Marshall, Devon Martin, Special Ice, and others in Toronto, to work in the 'raggamuffin&..39; or 'ragga' style. Meanwhile, ska was seen to make a comeback in the early 1990s as played by such young, white groups as the Scatterbrains in Ottawa and Skaface and the eclectic King Apparatus in Toronto, whose efforts, however, evoked less the Jamaican original than the British revival ca 1980.

Two other musicians, the guitarist and record producer Carl Harvey and the singer Glen Ricketts (also known as Glen Ricks), members in the 1970s of the Toronto funk band Crack of Dawn, have moved easily between reggae and R&B. Harvey has toured with Jackie Mittoo and Toots Hibbert and produced recordings by Messenjah, the R&B singer Kim Richardson, and the Toronto pop trio Sway ('Hands Up,' a hit in 1988). Ricketts has recorded soul and reggae albums in Jamaica, England, and Canada.

Canada's performers have been honored by the annual Canadian Reggae Music Awards, established by Winston Hewitt in Toronto in 1985, and by a Juno Award for best reggae/calypso recording, introduced the same year. The latter has been won by Lillian Allen (1986, 1989), Leroy Sibbles (Mean While, 1987), and the Sattalites ('Too Late to Turn Back Now,' 1990). Reggae in Canada, however, largely remained in thrall in the early 1990s to Jamaica's dominant figures and had not yet drawn successfully on its own experience in exile - as had reggae in Britain, for example - to fashion a music that would enjoy broad mainstream acceptance.

THE MOVEMTNT OF JAH PEOPLE!!

It is evident that politics and the society in which we live are co-dependant and directly linked. But what about the other factors that define a people like their history; a chronological record of their events, their religion; creed and faith, and their culture; education and refinement of manners.

Greetings in the name of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Kings of Kings, Lord of Lords Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah; a title that circumscribes and epitomizes history, religion, culture, and politics. Bestowed upon Ras Tafari Makonnen (July 23, 1892- Aug. 26, 1975) crowned king on (Nov 2, 1930). This historical coronation is the 225th in a royal dynasty dates to almost four millenniums, claming ancestral descendants from King David through King Solomon through Jesus Christ through H.I.M. His Imperial majesty political and cultural grounding is very much evident, when one sees the various royal and international government circles he courted: these include his close ties with the world royals, along and his many famous speeches to the UN and the outdated; League of Nations. It is all of this and many numerous personal and ancestral achievements that make him the great monarch.

"God created you masters of your own destiny, masters of your own fate, and you can pay no higher tribute to your Divine Master than function as the man he created you to be", Marcus Garvey (Aug. 17, 1887- June 10, 1940). It is this kind of phylosphical thinking in a colonist, post-slavery, war ravaged world that led to this resistance and freedom movement known as Rasta.

Marcus Moziah Garvey was born in St. Anne's Bay Jamaica. He formed the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1914 for the purpose of improving the quality of live of peoples of African descent all over the world. The UNIA at its height boasted a membership over one million. Marcus dreams for peoples of African descent were not just philosophical, but actual, for his organization purchased a steam liner "The Black Star Line" which at its time facillated the migration of thousands of American Blacks back to West Africa. Marcus took his plan of self-education and a self-supporting economy to the US in 1916; he acquired United States citizenship 1921. In the midst of his plan to rally all Afro citizens, he was charged with mail fraud and sentenced to prison in Atlanta Georgia: at a time when lynching, the Ku Klux Klan, and US riots were killing and victimizing Afro-American citizens. Marcus spent two years and nine months in prison, and was then deported to Jamaica. Marcus later moved to England, where he resumed his work for the improvement of his people, but with his defamed chracter this task was difficult, and his organization never fully recovered. He died in England in 1940.

Around the time Marcus Gravy was advocating repatriation, Haile Selassie I and Ethiopia was preparing for a its second war with the then fascist regime of Italy. The kings many appeals to the global community was being rejected and ignored by all except a few in America, but was readily accepted by those under- privileged blacks in the west, especially in colonial Jamaica where the majority of its people are of African descent. It was the images like those of Ras Abebe Aregai (Ras means head, source) and his fellow nyabinghi soldiers, with their long matted hair appearing in Jamaican journals, that led many individuals in this resistance movement to Dreadlocks or Natty Dreads (the feared one). It must be noted, that the Hindi Sadhus among the Indian migrant workers, brought to the Caribbean to subsidize black labor after the abolition of slavery, also wore their hair long and matted. Some claim that the Indians also introduce marijuana to the west.

It was undoubtedly the historic visit of His Imperial Majesty to the Caribbean in April 1966, which led the modern Rasta movement to what it is today. To this author, it was a remarkable and suprising image seeing a black king, for in the Caribbean we had at that time been inundated by visits by European royalty, this visit was an eye opener. Black power and its explosion in the sixties also had a profound influence on the acceleration of the movement. Black activist (too numerous to mention), and black activism had been expounding the virtues of black pride. There was something, however missing in all of this, the spiritual messenger: Bob Marley.

If the sixties had a theme it would have been Peace, Love, and Ganja. Bob Marley (Feb 6, 1945-May 11, 1981) was the representation of all this, but more importantly he had given young blacks sense of awareness of history, religion, culture, and politics. Anyone seeing him or listening to his music can't help but be overtaken by his presence and his themes. Today the Legend of Robert Nesta Marley lives on spiritually and economically. By the seventies, young blacks disillusioned by the pace of change and the lack of Jah (God) in the equation, sided and identified with this new view of Rasta, which had a new vehicle: Reggae.

Bob Marley literally took reggae and the resistance movement to the world stage. Bob exposed Rasta and the Rastafarian message to the whole world for Whites and Blacks to see Rasta was now universal. The impact of Bob on this world is undeniably clear; countries and individuals have been set free. In Rastafarinism today there are a few closely related groups: The twelve tribes of Israel, The Nyabinghi, and Ethiopian Zion Coptic are a few.

It is my observation, however, that to all Rastas, there is just one love: I and I (one togetherness). It is also my observation that today Rasta have nothing to do with color; it is the love in ones heart. That last point puts hair the issue to rest. It should carefully be noted, however, that dreads: real Rasta dreads suffer constant tribulation here on earth in this Babylon, as a result of their unconventional look. Some endure this persecution for life because they believe this Roman Caesar System is wicked and unjust, and they would rather not be identified with it. The objective they all agree is love.- Kali.

Ultra Violet Burlesque

Ultra Violet Burlesque

I Can Hardly Wait


Every morning, every night, sometimes in the middle of the day...
Escaping into dark, quiet corners to relieve myself
Sometimes calmly, sometimes furiously... shamelessly
Three times again today, is no surprise
Laughing every time... seeing what I'd do to satisfy
I want to take you up on all your offers... let you try
Fulfill all the scintillating needs inside
Heavenly wings and spitfire tongues taste like lullabies!


Swooning Mercilessly,


Empress Ultra Violet

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

" Please take the time to tell those people you love, that you love them, care for them, or whatever they mean to you in your life (positive only). Life is precious, and we need to be grateful for each day we are given."
