WHAT'S HAPPENING

Greetings
To all among our on-line family:
We're
in for a treat this weekend in the DC area. On
Saturday, October 23, 2004 Reggae Stars Capleton and Cocoa Tea will be performing at
Kili's Kafe in Washington, DC, and you cannot miss this show. At their last
performance here in Maryland, they did a fantastic job. Both of
these artist are outstanding, so you must check them out. Also on
the show is one of our local favorites Soldiers of Jah Army! Hope to
see you there!!!! Click

Unfortunately
the "Third World" show has been cancelled. This Dynamic
Grammy nominated Reggae Band was scheduled to perform on
Sunday, October 24th, at the Funk Box in Baltimore. Well, I
guess we have to wait until they reschedule to see their great
performance and hear their new music.

Greetings:
The excitement
surrounding World Clash Weekend 2004 is still brewing.
Sound clash fans are raving over the intense battle
to the finish between Black Kat and One Love during World
Clash. Additionally, fans are reflecting on the
personal/professional feud between Fire Links and Mighty Crown
(hysterical at times) and the great performances of Jazzy T and
Black Reaction during the 45
Shoot-Out. Overall, the weekend is one to remember.

the unforgettable experience with the World Clash

product is guaranteed to change the
game, as it relates to sound clash audio. Recorded in full

CD-set will hit the streets this weekend.

As
promised below you will find Part 2 of the artist "Sam'O's" interview!
TAKING
A BREAK – WITH SAM’O
After
a busy summer, Stephen Samuel (a/k/a SAM’O) is now taking a break
to “. . . relax, work on promoting my new gospel CD, perfect a
video for U.S. agents, and write some new music.”
We were able to catch up with SAM’O to
ask him a few questions. This
is what he had to say.
INTERVIEW
-- SEGMENT 2 OF 4
INTERVIEWER: Around
the D.C. area, we’ve seen you in some Calypso competitions. But tell us about some of the other things you have done
since you’ve been in the States.
SAM’O:
Well, this past summer, I was very busy with my music.
I performed for a number of festivals, some church events,
some fundraising events, one for the Mayor of Alexandria, VA.
I performed at some local establishments around Alexandria,
VA, a lot of pool parties, neighborhood gatherings and some private
parties.
INTERVIEWER: What
was your favorite performance over this past summer.
SAM’O:
I love performing, so that’s hard to pick.
I think the festival I did at the Reston Town Center was
really great. It was
outdoors and there seemed to be thousands of people watching me.
I did all types of music, and had the people dancing to
Electric Slide, Soca and some other Soca music.
When I finished, they did not want me to leave.
The other was for St. John’s Church in Alexandria –
they were having a community day and blocked off the whole street.
I was able to do some of my gospel music, some great
Calypso and Soca music, some reggae, and some beautiful ballads.
Over a thousand people were at this one too. I really enjoyed that when I performed some of my original
Calypsos, like “The Dream” and “TATA” some of the children
were trying to imitate the dances I do when I perform the songs. It’s really a great feeling when I appeal to younger
crowds.
INTERVIEWER: Now,
SAM’O, since you’ve been in this area, you entered two
Calypso competitions in D.C., one in Baltimore, and recently one
in Miami. You placed
second twice and third twice. Talk to us about those competitions.
SAM’O:
The competitions are great fun.
They are a way of presenting my new music, and the
competitions are a way for people to know me who did not know me
before. I have been
disappointed with the decisions of the judges, though.
PART III –
NEXT WEEK – SAM’O TALKS MORE ABOUT HIS
MUSIC AND THE COMPETITIONS!!!
