I have never thought of Jews as a good source of reggae musical talent until I heard Matisyahu. He’s an Hasidic reggae singer with beatboxing skills out of White Plains, NY. Before you laugh, have a listen at his performance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. I was very impressed to say the least.

Educate yourself.
Nice link, so I stand corrected. However in my defense I didn’t say they weren’t talented. I was simply stating that when I think of music (especially reggae) I don’t think “Jewish” off the bat. Actually, no religion comes to mind at all.
The “I-would-rather-make-love-and-use-my-herbs-than-make-war” religion comes to my mind when I think about reggae. What I great religion IMO.
I saw this guy live a few months back. It was quite a show. Very good stuff.
If he comes near my town, I’m going to see him. Very impressive indeed.
Matisyahu is cool, groovy!!! love your music…
peace :)
well, when I think reggae, I think Rasta (as in Rastafarian, dreadlocks, Jamaca…) because that is the place it came from.
That is pretty good though.

You completed some fine points there. I did a search on the topic and found the majority of people will have the same opinion with your blog.
I want to express thanks to you for rescuing me from this type of instance. As a result of scouting through the world wide web and finding methods that were not powerful, I figured my entire life was over. Being alive without the strategies to the problems you’ve solved all through the article is a crucial case, and ones which could have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t noticed the blog. Your own natural talent and kindness in maneuvering the whole lot was excellent. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a stuff like this. It’s possible to now look ahead to my future. Thank you so much for the specialized and sensible guide. I will not be reluctant to propose your web sites to anybody who needs and wants direction on this subject matter.
