Rising Reggae stars Los Goyos and urban poet/rapper Akil Ammar. We found them through our MySpace page, listened to some of their tracks and found fantastic talent. After contacting them they quickly signed on to our non-exclusive, 50-50 digital sales agreement and developed their pages for them free of charge.
Los Goyos' underground classic reggae album Fluir carrys a very heavy message and a great vibe. Highlights include "Amor en PR" (Love in PR), "Bosques de Cemento" (Cement Forests) and a hidden bonus track (#13). If you like reggae you won't believe that this band is still unknown. The lyrics are deep, political and positive.
Akil Ammar's Melokarma puts forth an even stronger political tone with its agressive yet smooth lyrics that both uplift and critize the situation at hand. With varied themes and lyrics ranging from day-to-day experineces to socio-political problems, Akil seeks to opens your eyes and ears while driving home a positive message. Rap is the tool through which he builds poetry and reflects on the world at hand.
Akil is a co-founder of 'IndieGente', an independent organization created in 2005 with the objective to develop and recognize hip-hop culture, his efforts are focused on diverse artistic manifestations that are inspired by progress, resistamce, and the education of marginalized communities across the globe that wish to raise their voice.
Repeated listenings of both these albums will continue to reveal new perspectives. Our MySpace page -can be found here.
