TAJ WEEKES

Taj Weekes' music is more than just entertainment. The
St. Lucian born, bred and based roots reggae artist's music stirs
thought, provokes discussion and inspires people to think for
themselves, free from the constraints of the corporate media. On his beautiful new album DEIDEM,
released on his own independent label, Jatta Records, Weekes sings
assuredly and soulfully for the voiceless and the oppressed, taking his
music to a new level of commitment and universal appeal. DEIDEM is destined to be a classic album - we invite you to listen and enjoy what is to come for this dynamic reggae artist.

DO-LA
In
late 2005 DO-LA's members recognized the need for a Konpa band with
renowned powerhouse artists such as Armstrong Jeune, Jean Max Valcourt,
Balan Gerald a.k.a. Cartoon, and Levans P. Jean-Pierre a.k.a. Madman
JP, all straight out of New York City, conspired to bring Konpa music
to a new heights. In May of 2006 they shocked the Haitian Music
Industry (HMI) with three track singles Lambi, Bayo Konpa, and After
Party. This was the first time in the history of the HMI a band ever
presented itself in such a format. The entire summer of 2006, Creole
music lovers from New York to Haiti to Canada could not get enough of
DO-LA. Each track was well crafted and roaring with the rhythmic flow
of the island. The provocative undertone lyrics of "Lambi", the high
party energy tempo of both "Bayo Konpa" and "After Party" all of which
exemplifies just a taste of what this band has to offer.
DO-LA released its dynamic debut album entitled "Brasse", in June 30th, 2007. This album will be a breath of fresh air to all and will be referred to as the blue print of Konpa of the old and new generation. "Brasse" is in a class of its own and displays a form of vintage Konpa music with a twist of new age vibe.
