THE FIRST LIGHT ORCHESTRA...live in Samo Reggae Stan (SLO)
THE FIRST LIGHT ORCHESTRA is a roots reggae and dub band based in Florence, Italy. Formed in 2005, the group’s sounds are drawn mainly from the Jamaican and British roots and dub of the Seventies. However, this choice of direction does not in any way limit the musicians or keep them from experimenting and scouting into other sonic landscapes. The group is composed of musicians who come from various musical genres (reggae, afro, samba, soul, funk) and who all originate from different parts of Italy except for the lead singer and guitarist Pavle Djukic who is a British-born Serb. The current line-up includes also Alessandro Pujia from Calabria on drums, Giacomo Villani from the Pistoia mountains on bass and Marco Sirigu from La Spezia on percussion. Apart from their own shows, the band has also worked as a backing band for artists such as Fido Guido, a versatile singjay from the southern Italian city of Taranto, and the South African poetess Natalia Molebatsi. Over the past two years they have been concentrating on studio work and are looking to quickly expand the number of their recordings. At the beginning of 2007 their song "Soul Brutalization" (in defence of the forests) came out on the pro-Chiapas compilation "Un Cafesito Mami". In June 2008 their first 10 inch vinyl will be released through Matxino Records, featuring the songs "Natty Dread No Dead" (stating that the rebels are alive and well), "Before It's Too Late" (a call for introspection and self-respect) and "Under Pressure Skank" (a Lee Perry-type dub with Roberto Sanchez on melodica). The songs were partly recorded in Pavle's analogue studio in Italy, then finished off and mixed at the Lone Ark Studios in Santander (Spain) by Roberto Sanchez (famous for his roots activity with the bands Basque Dub Foundation and Lone Ark Riddim Force, and with singers such as Earl 16, Kiddus I, Alpheus, amongst others). Taking time off from live shows, in May 2008 they will be back in the studio working on their next releases.

Ogni crew con il proprio impianto, control tower, preamp, efx, selection and mic per esprimere al 100% la propria idea di session. Continuiamo a difendere la cultura del sound system dando questa volta direttamente spazio e gloria a quello che per ogni crew è frutto di lavoro costante e continuo per presentare il reggae che più ci piace nel modo che più ci piace!
Tutti i giovedì nella e dalla B-room del Brancaleone dalle 23.35 alle 03.00
Condotto da Mercy Far I
Il giovedì’ sera la B-room del Brancaleone apre le porte ai dj’s che intendono presentare per la prima volta o riaffermare la loro grande passione per il reggae al pubblico romano. The Oppurtunity Hour , ispirato al celeberrimo show presentato da Joseph Vere John al Palace Theatre e radiotrasmesso sulla RJR (Radio Jamaica Limited) a Kingston negli anni ’50, si muoverà sul doppio binario dell’intrattenimento del dancefloor del Branca da un lato e dello spettacolo radiofonico dall’altro.
A questo appuntamento potranno partecipare tutti i selecta/dj’s veterani , nuove leve o semplici collezionisti che avranno voglia di far ascoltare le proprie scelte musicali. Questo spazio sonoro sospeso tra la sala chill out del Branca e l’etere di Radio Popolare Roma permetterà al pubblico del Top a Top e a quello in ascolto in Fm di apprezzare il gusto personale di tanti protagonisti e non della scena nazionale chiamati ad esprimersi al di fuori del sound o della crew di appartenenza.
The Opportunity Hour sarà felice di accogliere anche Dj’s che pur provenendo da scene ed esperienze altre dal reggae intendono interpretare la musica giamaicana dal loro punto di vista sonoro. La selezione dell’entertainer, della durata di 2 ore circa, potrà spaziare a 360° nelle vibrazioni in battere e levare cercando però di proporre nello stesso tempo grandi classici e nuove tendenze del genere. CD’s & Vinyl are welcome !!!!
Sono certo che la proposta saprà incontrare il vostro entusiasmo. Fatevi sotto !!!!

Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends! We've added two blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our page. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too. We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy. Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other. We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large. What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
