It is our pleasure to introduce to you, Manila Jeepney®, our very own reggae record label. This is our most intimate way to express ourselves as to how much the music means to us. Our critical objective is to produce quality reggae music for you to enjoy and with the help of many dedicated people, it has now become a reality.
In the beautiful country of the Philippines, we have an in-expensive form of transportation called the jeepney. Equivalent to Brooklyn's [New York] dollar van, people would hop on for a cheap fare to reach their destination.
Two aspects a jeepney portrays itself by is the colorfulness and creativity it carries. Many artists express themselves by "hooking up" these vehicles with their creativeness. The music heard in these jeepnies also became a status for new tunes to be played, and people thought of it as "hip".
Crowning Manila as the capital of the Philippines, where many jeepnies start their different journeys across cities, villages and towns, explains as to what our label characterizes. So we have the name "Manila Jeepney".
Reggae For Humanity is the name for an ongoing series of works released by Manila Jeepney Records of Roots, Lovers Rock, Rub-A-Dub & Rock Steady music. Reggae For Humanity Vol. 1 consists of two riddims: Dark Skin Girls and Guide Us. The Dark Skin Girls Riddim is Manila Jeepney's version of the classic UK reggae hit "Black Skin Boy" by 15-16-17. Many of the songs on this riddim made it to numerous reggae charts, reviewed by magazines and web-sites, and received consistent radio play. Peter Hunnigale's "King Is Amazing" & Dona V's "Jerusalem" was very popular across Europe, while Luciano's "Just As I Am" made a great impact in Japan.
The Guide Us Riddim is an original roots reggae rhythm built by England's very own Russ D & The Disciples Rhythm Section. This riddim has the signature Disciples sound that is considered by many to be one of their best works. Tony Roots, admired to be one of the most original and conscious artists for today and the future, gives us the title track for the riddim. Mykal Rose, from the great Black Uhuru, gives us a nice roots tune called "Fly The Banner", while Chrisinti comes heartical with a tune called "Sunburnt Faces".
Many of the artists in this compilation have been through the Studio One camp and worked alongside Coxsone Dodd, owner and producer of Studio One records. Artists like JD Smoothe, Frankie Paul, Karen Vibes, Dona V and Carlton Livingston have all voiced for Studio One, and now they have songs for Manila Jeepney. Majority of the works done on Manila Jeepney was Recorded, Mixed & Engineered by Sidney Mills of Steel Pulse. This is Reggae For Humanity.
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. (KJV) Proverbs 12:25
What are you anxious about, dear friends? Gas price? Food prices? Global warming? Worrying about these things won't change a thing. God has a plan and the world is feeling the birth pangs of a new age. Did He not tell us these things in His word? And did He not also tell us that whatever we experience in life is common to all human beings? The Proverbs are collection of comparisons. Be kind to one another. Help a friend in need. Have compassion. Will everyday be good for you? Probably not, but you have a assurance that God will never leave you or forsake you...so everyday is a good day with God.
Just pray to him my friend and he will guide you!!!

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (KJV)
One Spirit suggests the highest possible unity between the believer and the Lord. The sheep may wander from the shepherd, the branch may be cut off from the vine, the member may be severed from the body, the child alienated from the father, and even the wife from the husband, but when two spirits blend in one, nothing can part them.
