Marijah and the Reggae All-Stars
Sure, indie rock rules the scene, and a ton of imitation bands are
cropping up all over South Florida (with matching hair, trying to
become the next Fall Out Boy). But that doesn't mean that any of these
cookie-cutter groups actually knows how to play. Locally, the band
with the strongest instrumentation and best stage show is Marijah and
the Reggae All-Stars. Their blend of Caribbean and West African music
is impressive live or recorded; they've mastered instruments from
those regions. They've also got incredible timing and lock into a
groove that's unmatched by any other act locally. Everyone in the band
has more than 20 years of playing experience and gigs frequently with
other reggae singers throughout the tricounty area. There also aren't
many female-headed reggae bands out there, and Marijah is working
twice as hard to stay afloat in this male-dominated genre. What stands
out about the group is its ability to get crowds rocking with
conscious lyrics and a heavy roots-rock attitude. You don't have to be
a lover of Caribbean music to appreciate this band and the reggae-Afro-
fusion sound it cranks out live. Just don't be surprised to see that
this reggae band is actually headed by an Italian-American woman from
New Jersey. New Times June 6, 2007
