Boom Shaka has been described as "L.A.'s best kept secret",
but they are no mystery to any avid reggae fan. Fresh out of
Radio Recorders Studio in Hollywood, Boom Shaka is set to
move people's hearts and feet with their long awaited 5th
CD, "FERTILE GROUND", (slated for January 2005 release, in
brick and mortar stores, on Candlestick/Bagastyle Records.)
With conscious lyrics that are both contemporary and
universal, Boom Shaka has earned international recognition
with a set of hard-hitting reggae originals.
Founder and lead vocalist Trevy Felix is from the island of
Dominica. Trevy immigrated to America in 1985 and formed
Boom Shaka in California. Boom Shaka is based in Los
Angeles; its main members are from Jamaica, Dominica, and
Antigua.
Boom Shaka draws its influences from a vast array of artists
such as Bob Marley, who changed a generation with his
spiritual message of equality and justice. While many
classical "Roots" artists from Jamaica have inspired Boom
Shaka, the timing of "Fertile Ground" is divinely inspired.
"Rastafari is the Future", a spiritual song about mans' need
to find God, bears influences of Jimmy Cliff, while "Ganga
Discrimination" recalls the clear distinctive harmonies of
Third World. The strong jazzy vocal styling of the group's
lead singer, Trevy Felix, is reminiscent of both, David
Hinds of Steel Pulse, with his melodic and edgy vocals and
Peter Tosh, whose strong, resonant and compelling vocals are
well known throughout the world of reggae.
Uncompromising in their vision of the music, Boom Shaka
seamlessly melds the deep roots sound with the modern day
intensity of rock and dancehall music. It is difficult to
pigeonhole Boom Shaka's music into just one genre, as they
create a mosaic of sound incorporating the best elements of
multiple genres. As different elements manifest, the
listener is constantly engaged and delighted by the fresh
and ever changing interpretations.
The themes contained in "Fertile Ground" encompass
spirituality, equality and justice. Delivered in
well-crafted songs, the uplifting lyrics contain hooks that
will have listeners singing long after the recording has
finished. Boom Shaka is taking their music to a level that
defies commercial definitions. "In my thinking, roots music
has the ability to make you change", says lead singer Trevy
Felix; "create a revolution inside of you, music that
affects your soul, so when you hear it, it make you feel a
[certain] way. To me that is roots music. So trying to label
it...no. We're playing fresh things... maybe roots rock
rebel music". [Laugh]
The crucial combination of musicians is an integral element
that gives Boom Shaka their edge. Each member brings with
him a unique angle and throws a different spice into the
pot. The vibrant bubbling of Antiguan keyboardist Binghi-I
lifts the backbone of the rock solid bass laid down by
Dominican Ray "Bassie Felix". Jamaican drummer Shakaman (The
Rastafarians) provides a steady heartbeat that keeps the
band alive. On songs such as "Creation" and "World Affair",
lead guitarist Lester Fari appears to channel the essence of
Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana with his searing guitar
work. Percussionist and toaster Rootsmon adds an element of
dancehall to the mix. Founder Trevy Felix, possesses an aura
and charisma that enhances his ability to connect with the
people and induce a frenzied audience response.
Keep your eyes and ears on their progress, as Boom Shaka is
a sure, one way, first class ticket to the 21stcentury.
