I made good music to play on the radio, and my music was air-worthy." More than
merely air-worthy, his 1995 'Til Shiloh and 2003 Friends in Life are both Grammy-nominated Reggae
albums. (See Fest review)I caught up with the 36-year-old Rasta lion following his mind-blowing performance
and congratulated him on an outstanding show. You will find Ska tunes on his Inna
Heights (1997) and Friends in Life (2003.)No stranger to controversy, when asked his view of
the current slackness debate in Dancehall, Buju responds, "Music controversy? This is not even warranted.
"It's Ska," Buju describes it, "a reality song that reaches the consciousness and the heart
and mind of everyone. MPeggyQ is a writer, PR and Internet marketing specialist, reggae business
consultant, and public speaker. I wanted to do more...a little Ska, and more that 925 silver could
have been added, but true, my time was short."Gearing up for the April 21, 2009,
release of Rasta Got Soul, his much-anticipated CD, the Gargamel is looking to "uplift, educate,
and stimulate" his fans. I worked hard by making good music. "I wanted to really
and truly show these people that...hey, I am Buju Banton!" When I mentioned that he
gave the people everything, he quickly interjected, "I didn't show them everything. Positioned between Capleton
and Ky-mani's set, the show-stealing Buju Banton fired up the crowd with a 60+-minute set
that left fans shouting "forward!" If you have not seen Buju before, or if you
haven't in a while, his presentation and professionalism will have you also clamoring for more.
And they know...no one is above sorry." Buju's love of Ska music is requin tn not something
new. It was a perfect Miami night; clear skies, balmy breeze, and a Reggae festival
in the park. Sure to accomplish this, Buju Banton toured Canada for two weeks in
May, will be in Europe in June and July, and return in the fall for
shows in the USA. Sometimes sounding like his icons Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, there
were moments where he sounded (and looked) like Lucky Dube. The 16th Caribbean (formerly Marley)
Festival was jammin' alongside the bay and the downtown park was rammed. The bouncy, upbeat
new single, "A Little Bit Sorry" is available now. Slackness in the music is only
a detail in the music." He quickly adds, "I didn't get my popularity with the
masses through slackness. "It is my first Bob Marley fest in Miami and I wanted
to do something different from the regular," said a smiling Buju, "I wanted to come
out of the Dancehall a little bit and do something special." On stage he was
dressed in a casual grey with white trim, button-down, pocketed sweater with slick pants and
criss' shoes; his dreadlocks flying and skanking knees lifted right up to his chin, Buju's
flawless performance skillfully segued from Dance hall to Roots to Lovers Rock. MPeggyQ has interviewed
countless reggae singers, musicians, and performers, while reviewing hundreds of albums, shows and events. "This
too will pass," Buju concludes, "it will have to pass because music is a circle."For
