Live Music Nation features O'zoune, Black Zebra and Bijean this week

[Griot Music]

Hey guys,

Here's a snippet of a really good article in yesterday's Observer.
"...people like Seretse Small and Maurice Gordon, as well as the
Digicel Rising Stars competition are identifying and grooming a slew
of artistes - giving them worthwhile and essential experience - on the
club circuits... May I be emotional? Lets "rally round the
flag" (Steel Pulse), drape ourselves in it... for dis ya one." -
Excerpt from "Yes We Can" an article written by Charles Campbell
featured in the Lifestyle section of the Sunday Observer Dec 7 2008.

This really gives us a sense that we at Griot Music are moving in the
right direction, not giving up hope on the Jamaican music scene
because we know the creativity and the talent is out there needing a
space to create, perform, grow and shine. And Griot Music is committed
to creating that space, helping them grow and allowing their amazing
talent to shine.

This week in the Live Music Nation, come out to catch some of your
favourite performers:

Tuesday Night Jazz
December 10: Black Zebra at Grosvenor Galleries for Wednesdays Rock
December 11: Bijean Gayle at Christopher's Jazz Cafe for Singer's
Night

About the artists:
"Ozou`ne - Singer/Songwriter/Pianist/Producer takes you on such an
aesthetic musical high affecting the Physical, Mental, Emotional and
Spiritual that he was conferred the title Ozoun from two independent
sources. Ozou`ne’s name is two-fold in meaning. His is a Musical Title
and a Spiritual Title who’s outer meaning is Chief Musician!" -

"Black Zebra's influences span from the Jamaican roots of Steel Pulse
and Third World to the likes of modern legends U2 and classic
Archetypes Led Zeppelin and have attracted a large underground
following." - Jamaicans.com Feb 16 2008

"Like ‘Firewater’ Bijean will be a force of nature to reckon with.
Calming personality, soothing voice uttering words of upliftment,
inspiration and spiritual healing but hot enough to blaze through the
hearts of young people leaving a trail of fireworks on the stage and
everyone it comes in contact with." griotpublishing.com

See you out and about in the Live Music Nation, supporting the art of
