Christmas celebrations are in the air and nobody can escape the frenzy of cleaning the house, painting, sewing new curtains, purchasing new furniture and appliances (as it is out with the old and in with the new for it is customary for the new year that the new year meets a house with a new furniture or appliance whichever one it is); plus buying up of all the pricy gifts for loved ones, attending various pre-Christmas parties and even going all out with the stocking up of all varieties of local food items, fruits and vegetables, which is my favorite because I love food and there are also lots of snacks for the kids, chocolates included – that I never ever weigh myself, because I know that I will be putting on a lot of pounds over the Christmas season. The Caribbean, well Trinidad and Tobago is known for its pre-Christmas parties, with countless food and drinks in galore, that everywhere you look or turn at whatever time, day or night, there will be a number of restaurants and eatery open. We in sweet trinbago love our bellies, for we all have a sweet tooth and even when it comes to the holiday, even the greatest fitness gurus work are much harder, as they have to work effortlessly to persuade the general public to curb their cravings and try to exercise regularly, which is great, since almost everyone turn their homes upside down and move around furniture and do some minor repairs to their houses during the holiday, but eating healthier diets will only work for the few who really want to stick to a strict diet and exercise plan; but for others, christmas only comes around once a year, so we going to go all out.

Love Herb & Reggae is the 5th album from Taj Weekes & Adowa, set for release on February 12, 2016 Jatta Records is proud to announce the release date for Taj Weekes & Adowa’s much anticipated fifth album. Love Herb & Reggae is slated for release in February 2016 through VPAL , the distribution arm of VP Records. As a timely and even necessary update of the decades-old “sex, drugs and rock’n’roll” thinking, this powerful album expounds on social themes with a progressive approach that for many will be an abrupt, refreshing change from the kind of reggae they’re used to. Yet roots reggae it definitely is, in its insinuating rhythms, sparkling arrangements and outstanding musicianship. Consider that almost since its incarnation, reggae has seemed intent on changing the world. Far too often, though, its more recent calls to action have been reactionary, obstructive and insular – so much so that “progressive roots reggae” has seemed an oxymoron. But now along comes Love Herb & Reggae to demolish any such expectations, pulling the whole scene forward with an openhearted, enlightened outlook. Nonetheless, the passionate call for a necessary revolution in society remains intact. "No more Taj the person and Taj the musician – after all, they are one.” Singer-songwriter Taj Weekes explained how his commitment as a Rastafarian to a better world resulted in his most political album to date. “The Rasta philosophy helped shape me,” he said. “I’ve always spoken for what’s right, but in my songs I held back a bit. Now I want to shout it out for everyone to hear. No more Taj the person and Taj the musician – after all, they are one.” Indeed, they are one. Weekes’ lyrics are a reliable reflection of his deep personal involvement as an activist within his community and well beyond. He has been honored with several distinguished humanitarian awards for his tireless work on behalf of children through his charity, They Often Cry Outreach (TOCO), and in his role as UNICEF Champion for Children in St. Lucia. Not only is Love Herb & Reggae an advance for Weekes in his messaging, but as he explained, it represents a change in his creative process too. “For me this is very much a breakthrough. Previously I’d use a few chords, whatever sounded good, and sing over them; this time I carefully chose chords that not only fit the melody but would support the words. I jump from major to minor wherever necessary to get what I really want.” A similarly exacting process has clearly gone into the musical arrangements as well, with more musicians playing more varied instruments than ever before. The result is a full and satisfying sound. Love Herb & Reggae is Taj Weekes and Adowa’s fifth album, preceded by a critically acclaimed live outing, Pariah in Transit (2014) and equally commended studio albums A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen (2010), Deidem(2008) and Hope & Doubt (2005).

Caribbean music circuit and has helped to spread the Soca/Caribbean culture to the southern part of the US especially North and South Carolina. Champeon has been a Soca ambassador throughout those stated at major events which include Charlotte’s Jerk Festival and the Carolina’s Caribbean Culture Festival and plans to expand his brand to other cities such as Raleigh, Greenville, Fayetteville and Greensboro.

He has also been studying the business models of successful artistes in various genres such as Rap mogul Rick Ross and Soca heavyweight Machel Montano who have utilized teamwork, marketing and strategy to elevate their brands.
