International Reggae Icon, Luciano is returning to the US for a series of concerts in the West, Midwest, and Northwest Northwest region of the US beginning March 27 and concluding May 4. Mikey General and Jahmessenjah Band will also join Luciano on this tour. Fans can expect new material from his latest album, Jah Is My Navigator, in stores, as well as classic Luciano songs.
And since the release his landmark CD in 1995, Where There Is Life, succeeded by more than 40 full-length albums that have garnered tremendous acclaim, Jah Is My Navigator, the Rastamans latest release on VP, is arguably the quintessential Culture album for 2008.
Seasoned with the sing-jays everlasting melody of spiritual salvation, repatriation, global harmony and most importantly, saving the battered souls of conscious less youth, Jah Is My Navigator embraces Lucianos powerful baritone over traditional One Drop riddims, accompanied by prophetic lyrics that are both peaceful and nourishing.
Justifiably known to many as The Messenger, Luciano, born Jepther Washington McClymont in Mandeville Jamaica, modestly admits that the key to his continued success is making positive music to inspire other people. "Ive been true to the cause and true to my purpose, using my talent to glorify the almightymaking music is one of my greatest joysas a true Roots singerI feel satisfaction and honestly have to stay on this righteous pathway," says the international reggae phenomenon who recently joined John Legend for a benefit concert in Ghana, to raise money to fight, guinea worm, a waterborne disease.
