Ziggy Marley's Fly Rasta w/ U-Roy (Grammy Win, Best Reggae Album)

MusicLoad.Com presents Ziggy Marley Fly Rasta

Big congratulations to Ziggy Marley for his 4th Grammy win in the Best Reggae Album category in this 2015 round for his album Fly Rasta.  His first Best New Album win occurred in 1997 with Fallen From Babylon.  The next win was in 2006 with his Love Is My Religion album.  Then, in 2013 his won Best Reggae Album, again, for Ziggy Marley in Concert album.  Then there is another string of other Grammy wins for over the years such as when he won Best Musical Album for Children in 2009. And before that, in 1988 he won the Grammy for Best Reggae Recording for Conscious Party and in 1989 he won Best Reggae Recording for One Bright Day.  In terms of Grammy wins, Ziggy Marley has proven to be a long term dominator.

More concisely put, Ziggy Marley grooves, works hard and he is humble, just like his father who was his role model. Awards aside, the groove is in Ziggy Marley & Company's music and how it makes you feel, which is great. Turn it up, dance, sing along and enjoy!

More Antibalas - Filmed Live on KEXP

MusicLoad.Com presents Antibalas

Out of Seattle, Washington, is a KEXP-FM, a radio station whose slogan is "where the music matters". They have proven to be much more than a radio station, they have a crew of cameras, lights and action. Kudos to devoted staff of KEXP and a big thank you for a job consistently well done.

One of their great timeless takes is of the real music group off the Daptone Records imprint known as Antibalas, a group that is well known for being the band for the broadway production of Fela, based on the life of AfroBeat pioneer and outspoken human rights & political activist, Fela Kuti of Lagos Nigeria.  Antibalas captured the real vibration of Fela Kuti's signature sound beautifully for that production.

The band, as explained in the brief interview between songs inside this wonderful filmed in-studio performance, is one that changes up members from time to time and can number of players can fluctuate. Regardless of the lineup on any given show, the real deal sound of Antibalas never stops. The skill of these players is something to be honored, for bands with real horns and players like this is practically a dying art. Kudos to KEXP and to Antibalas for your devotion to real music from all genres.

A Tasty Live Take of Gaby Moreno

Some of the greatest new filmed music experiences these days are originating in the studios of public radio and college radio stations. That is the case with this nice take below of long time MusicLoad favorite artist, Gaby Moreno. This was filmed in the studio of KUTX-FM at the University of Texas at Austin, a NPR affiliate.

A multi-lingual artist originally from Guatemala, Gaby fluently speaks Spanish, English and The Blues. This song featured below is her own Spanish language original. It was track #6 from her third album, entirely in Spanish, which was named Postales. It helped lead her to becoming the 2013 Latin Grammy winner in the Best New Artist category, a well deserved award.

Her repertoire is not limited to Spanish and she definitely has what it takes to win English language Grammys in numerous categories in the future, based on her genuine authenticity underneath and on top of her uncontrived music of substance. Quite a rarity.
