This record recently received 5 out of 5 stars on Reggae Review. Here is an excerpt from that review by Reggie that was give to us by Mt. Nebo Records.
"Every situation is a chance to grow," sings Jalani Horton. The first
foursongs on BREAK THE SOIL make it clear that Bambu Station has grown
more experimental and eclectic since its classic album ONE DAY.
Break the Soil is another masterpiece from Bambu Station.
Every track sparkles. The music is more expansive and more richly-textured
than onOne Day, with no drop off in quality or consistency. Simply put, this
albumis massive, and not to be missed."
Upcoming Bambu Station Shows:
Mon, Nov. 6 - Bohemian Cavern, Washington DC (with Ijah Menelik, Ras Dream I & Naima J.)
Wed, Nov. 29 - Strathmore Institute Mansion, 10701 Rockville Turnpike, North Bethesda, MD, 7:30pm - 9pm.
HOLD THE VIBES has been in the works for almost a decade and is being compared to Edi Fitzroy’s best works. The album features a classic acoustic vibe and superb vocals that are sure to last the test of time. Hear remakes of the classics "First Class Citizen" & "The Gun" along with new hits "Bad Boy’s" & "Jah No Dead". For sale everywhere 11/7/06!

Please join me to celebrate FIVE YEARS of REGGAE Fi’REAL! this Thursday from 9pm to Midnight, on KUNR 88.7 FM. I’ll be spinning some of the golden hits from years past, mixed in with some my personal favorites—and yours too! We are streaming live at www.kunr.org. Call the KUNR studio (775) 784-1867, and help me celebrate five years of positive sounds, rebel rock, socially conscious and uplifting music for your reflection and enjoyment—music to keep your mind musing, your feet moving and your soul grooving.

Bad Boy Entertainment to Market and Distribute Elephant Man
Sean “Diddy” Combs of Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment announced today a landmark deal with reggae/dancehall music label VP Records to market and distribute dancehall superstar, Elephant Man. “Elephant Man is one the greatest entertainers in his genre of music. When I saw him at Madison Square Garden ripping down the stage, I knew that he was the one. He will be a great addition to our team,” Sean “Diddy” Combs said.
The first release from Elephant Man under the new Bad Boy/VP Records venture is slated for spring 2007 with a single and video expected in early 2007.
Known for his high-energy live performances, Elephant Man a/k/a O’Neil Bryan is one of the latest dancehall acts to crossover into mainstream music. Collaborations with Diddy, Cassie, Rhianna, Busta Rhymes, Shaggy, Mya, and long time collaborator Lil’ Jon, are expected on his upcoming release. In addition to the new CD in the works, Elephant Man will also hit the road as a supporting act on Diddy’s world tour to begin in February 2007 in support of Diddy’s new album “Press Play,”
By Curt Byrum
It seems that every time I mention the use of the Internet by teenagers, I hear parents exclaim the same concerns. Parents usually express their fears about teenagers meeting predators online, or just spending too much time sitting in front of the computer. While these are real concerns, this activity may be as harmless as sewing a quilt.
In the centuries past, young women would gather in sewing circles and learn the skills necessary to make quilts. Each would add material to the quilt that carried meaning to them. While in the circle, they would revel in town gossip, talk about handsome young boys, and share their life experiences. The quilt represented people coming together and creating, and became synonymous with connection. Now, the Web has become our youth's medium for connection whether we like it or not.
My thirteen-year-old daughter simultaneously makes her "MySpace" Web page look cool with photos of her and her friends and instant-messaging with them. It seems her conversations with her friends never end. I'm concerned with the fact that our youth spend less time physically together, as there's nothing like feeling the vibe and seeing the facial expressions of a friend.
I've had to accept that this is a whole different century our youth are living in. But, is it so different than when we were kids? They have MySpace - we wrote in journals decorated with cut-outs from magazines; they have YouTube.com - we had comics and VCR's; they have cell phones - we spent hours on end on the telephone attached to a wall; they text message - we passed notes in class, they have Ipods with digital MP3s - we had our proud collection of 8 Tracks, LP’s, tapes and CDs. It's funny to think how our own parents protested the new mediums of entertainment during our teen years and now as parents, are faced with whole new mediums. My parents were convinced I’d be deaf by age twenty from having a Walkman on my head all the time.
With her spending so much time on the Internet, and fear of "predators" we've made a rule that if you know the person in real life, you can talk to them online - with the additional fear of what she actually can see online. I guess I could install software to limit what sites her and my son can access online, but I’d have to get them to install it for me! It's quite difficult to shelter my kids from what they see... one of our favorite shows we like to watch on TV is the Daily Show with John Stewart on the Comedy Channel... which is sadly sponsored by the close to pornographic "Girls Gone Wild" commercials. How embarrassing.
As parents, how do learn to accept these changes of the 21st century? How do we teach our teens to balance their computer life with real human connection? I try and remind myself that with every good there's bad and vise versa. A new statistic is that teen pregnancy is down due to the entertainment via the Internet! My daughter types sixty-five words per minute and makes digital graphics that are as good as art you’d find in a magazine. I think that our youth taking part in what is leading edge now will help them survive in the future.
Love, peace, and prosperity, James Curt
