Soaking in the electrifying atmosphere where Damian and Stephen Marley, I share every resonating note with you.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of
the Style and Vibes podcast withyours truly Makayla.
If you're new here, welcome tothe family.
If you're returning, welcomeback family.
Today's episode is actually areshare of an episode that I did
on the Reels and Rhythmspodcast.
If you are not subscribed toReels and Rhythms, make sure you
do so.
(00:23):
So I'm doing a bit of crosspromotion here, as I am talking
about the latest concert that Iwent to featuring Damian Marley
and Stephen Marley.
So, without further ado, hereis the episode.
Hello everyone, and welcome toanother edition of Reels and
Rhythms brought to you by CarryOn Friends, style Vibes and, of
(00:43):
course, breadfruit Media.
Today we are dabbling on therhythm side of things, so I
recently attended the DamienJunior, gang Marley and Steven
Raga Marley Traffic Jam Concert,so they are currently on tour
with one another.
They've been touring, I think,all of February and March
(01:07):
promoting this tour as well.
I coincidentally happened to bealso around the time of the
release of the Bob Marley OneLove movie, and so I am such a
huge fan of them.
I had to attend.
So, as we are bringing youreels and rhythms, I wanted to
share my experience with youguys here, so this isn't the
(01:29):
first time that we've seen or atleast I have seen Damien and
Steven on tour together.
The last time that I had sawthem it was at the Nokia Theater
, which I don't even think thatexists anymore in Manhattan and
um Damien had really released umWelcome to Jam Rock previously
(01:49):
and Steven had just releasedMind Control.
Um.
So over the years they've hadso many great collaborations
together and so this, I guess,was an opportunity for them to
really put a stamp behind it.
Um, I did find a promo videothat they did with Live Nation
that kind of shares the journeyof how they got here and why
(02:10):
they wanted to set out to dothis tour.
We will link that in the shownotes, so make sure you guys
check that out.
That's always fun to see behindthe scenes, but I attended here
in Connecticut at the CollegeMusic Hall in New Haven, so
traditionally a lot of reggaebands they stop in Connecticut.
It's either usually in NewHaven or in Hartford.
(02:31):
Connecticut has such a hugeJamaican audience but also a lot
of reggae lovers as well.
I did notice that Steven isactually coming back to
Connecticut, but he's comingback in the summer, so I might
try to check that as well.
But this one was in a reallynice hall.
I had never been there, it wasmy first time in the space
(02:56):
itself and it was on the groundfloor.
It was two floors.
It was the balcony and then thestanding room area.
So I got the balcony ticketsand Kiesma did want to sit on.
Plus, I'm short, so I also wantto make sure that I have a good
visual.
So I was able to get seats, butI was standing the whole time
(03:16):
because one thing I got there alittle late so I missed all of
the opening festivities.
I got there right in time.
The opening DJ was done andStephen and Damien came on stage
shortly thereafter.
I think I literally grabbed mymy seat and we had like maybe
about five minutes before theystarted.
(03:37):
So right from the verybeginning I saw how the set was
and they had the band alreadyset up there.
And then, as soon as you knowthe music kind of came on,
everyone started screaming andshouting and they were so
excited to see the brothers live.
They came on stage together andI think their opening was so
(04:00):
immaculate they had the sound,they had the lighting so
immaculate, they had the sound,they had the lighting and it
just was like you know, when youcan't feel it I'm beating out
and you can't feel the drums andthe bass, but it wasn't
overpowering.
That's what I really, reallyloved about the entire concert.
I didn't expect for their soundto be bad, because they just
always have good, but it almostlike my videos that I took of it
(04:23):
just don't do it justicebecause, like you could really
feel the music and I thoughtthat that was so like powerful.
Not to mention, I think I'mkind of becoming somewhat of a
sound snob, like I only want togo and see concerts in
particular areas and make surethat they have the sound right,
because the sound is horrible,like the bass is like bouncing
(04:46):
off the walls, it just doesn'tsound good and it's not the best
experience.
And I think, even as I'vegotten older and more in tune to
what good really sounds like, Ithink I'm becoming a bit of a
sound snob.
So I'm really glad that theywere good.
On top of that, not only was theband really good and you can
hear them really clearly, butyou could hear Damien and Steven
(05:07):
very crisply, like they werenot being overpowered by the
band.
You could hear their voice, thetonality of their voice, every
single word, and I was in thebalcony and you could really
hear it so big up to the soundsystem.
People Got them to do a goodjob, which I love that.
I think the other thing that Ireally enjoyed is watching the
(05:30):
two of them on stage, even whenI saw them the first time this
years ago and they seemed tohave a really great creative
energy then.
But you can tell that they havegrown in their creative energy
with each other.
They seem very comfortablegoing in and out of each other's
(05:50):
catalogs.
So, speaking of catalog likeyou start to kind of understand
how many songs they have reallydone together.
So the title of the tour iscalled traffic jam, so you know
they have that one together.
But they did medication allnight.
It was written.
And of course, my favorite, mypersonal favorite, is is tight
(06:11):
ship.
Um, I love that song, I play itall the time.
But what I love about theirperformances, they did not cut
them short.
They didn't cut the song short,they performed the songs in its
full, entire entity.
Um, they were able to kind ofmake it their own, which it kept
(06:31):
the essence of the song, butthen they had like one drop
rhythm here and they had alittle bit of dance in it and
then kind of mix it in between,and so it was such a good bridge
of the two genres beingpresented on stage and then,
with Stephen and Damian theirenergy together, it just really
(06:52):
came together really well.
So I enjoyed all of thedifferent songs and they did do
a few songs where they were solo, but they primarily focused on
the songs that they had togetherand I think that this tour
really gives you the breadth ofperspective of the catalog that
they do have together asbrothers, which I think is
(07:14):
unique to this specific tour.
Not only that, they were havingfun, they were enjoying each
other, they were laughing,joking, like you can tell.
They had jokes, you know,behind the stage and it wasn't
the case where they were kind oftrading off and one was going
off stage and one was comingback.
If Damien was singing, stevenwas right there next to the band
(07:39):
dancing, singing along, notinto the microphone, but just
like having a good time, andwhen Stephen was singing, damian
was dancing.
So vice versa, they reallysupported each other in that
sense.
So I was happy to see thatbecause it kind of could be like
I wasn't sure what to expectthat they were going to perform
(07:59):
all at the same time, or if theywere just going to kind of do a
almost like a round robin oftheir hits, or if they were
going to do one first and thenthe other and then come together
.
I wasn't sure how that wasgoing to go.
So I liked that they kind ofintertwined the entire show
rather than doing some of theother setups I just talked about
.
(08:21):
I always think it's fun to thinkabout what songs that they are
going to pick to do of theirfathers.
I think every Marley, whereveryou see them perform, they do at
least five of Bob Marley'ssongs, and it's always
interesting which ones they pickto do, depending on the crowd
or where they are.
Um so, and I'm sure theyprobably don't pick the same set
(08:48):
all the time um so it's alwayspleasantly surprised because it
kind of gives an introspectiveof you know what they love about
their dad's catalog, some oftheir favorite songs that they
gravitate to.
Um, at least that's myinclination.
I don't know if that's accurateor not, but um, they did uh
jamming.
They did so Much Trouble in theWorld, which is one of my
absolute favorite songs.
(09:08):
I was excited to see that Idon't think I've ever seen any
of them perform that song, so Ithought that that was good.
They also did Is this Love?
They did Exodus, which I kindof expected, because they have a
song where they sampled Exodus,so I knew that that one was
(09:28):
coming and they ended with Couldyou Be Loved.
That's what they ended with.
They ended with Could you BeLoved.
So it's interesting.
I thought they were going toend with One Love, just because
of the timing and the movie, butthey didn't.
So I like that they did it andmade it a surprise.
It's always, again, alwaysinteresting to see I like that
they did it and made it asurprise.
It's always, again, alwaysinteresting to see like which
songs that they are going topick to do.
(09:51):
What I also love is how theysample a lot of the songs and
they intertwine them into theirsets, so there's a familiarity
of understanding Bob's catalog.
But then you have his two sonsand they have put their own spin
on some of those songs andreally integrated it into it.
(10:11):
They also had the screen withperformances from Bob's time of
showing some of his performancesto the songs that they actually
performed and I thought it wasreally nice to kind of see they
have that connection andcollaboration and really
incorporate it in a big way.
Um, as I mentioned, every timeI see a Marley I've seen Kimani
(10:34):
Marley, joe Mercer Marley.
Rest in peace.
Um, I've also seen, um, uh,johan Marley perform.
They all perform parts of thecatalog and so I always find it
really interesting to see whichones they pick and I think that
that is a kind of a testament toBob's legacy.
He has children andgrandchildren who, one can
(10:58):
sample his music and two canperform his music.
A lot of artists don't havethat.
So the legacy of being part ofevery generation he's now three
generations in and youngerpeople are coming into his
catalog through his kids andgrandkids and then they can kind
(11:23):
of go back and explore.
I think that as a musicallegacy family, they're one of
the few that do that reallyreally well, and I'm talking
about in all music.
Speaking of you know, the amountof people and the different
generations, I have to say.
Like I have to say, I wasexpecting a lot of diversity in
(11:47):
terms of everyone who loves theMarlies as a collective, but I
was pleasantly surprised at theage range.
It was super diverse in termsof who was there.
I was probably sitting next tosomeone who looked like he could
, he and his partner could belike in their seventies and
(12:10):
there were, like really youngpeople.
I saw, you know, a guy.
He took his son there and hewas maybe about 10.
And then lots of like 20 yearolds and 30, like I'm being
presumptuous and telling youtheir age Cause I really don't
know, um, but there was such awide range of everyone who
(12:30):
attended and they knew all thesongs and they were singing
along and it was such a proudmoment.
It was the first time myhusband had seen them perform
and I think for him it was justas exciting.
And that was one of the thingsthat we kind of talked about in
the car is like, you know, theaudience was super diverse and
it's expected, but when you seeit and feel it up close, it's a
(12:52):
little different.
And then, as a Jamaican, whenyou hear and see those moments,
it really puts in perspectivehow big the music is, how vast
the genre is in terms of beingcross-generational, spanning the
test of time, and it makes youreally proud.
The last point that I want tomake, and I don't know why I
(13:15):
never really thought about thisand I don't know if anyone has
even really touched on it.
But as I was watching DamianMarley, I'm like yo, he's a
dance hall artist.
He kind of goes in betweenDJing and singing but I feel
like he DJs a lot more.
But the way that he performedwas like the bravado of like 90s
(13:35):
dance, early 2000 dance artists, like he's definitely rooted in
dancehall culture in terms ofhis um delivery and how he kind
of connects with his audience.
He did take it low, take it lowand and and the rhythm drop
back and then do him thing andthen him come back and then him
(13:55):
jump up and him up the crow.
Like he's such a great umperformer when it comes to
delivery.
It reminded me a lot ofwatching, like some of the
dancehall greats and I.
It clicked for me and I've seenagain.
I've seen them perform multipletimes, but it was yesterday was
the first time that it reallyclicked for me that I'm like yo,
(14:16):
it was still because.
But the positive messages thathe has is also proof that you
know, dancehall can havepositive messages and be really
good and connect with massivepeople.
So we don't have to be in onespace or the other.
I think the variety and morepositive hard-hitting dancehall
(14:37):
lyrics and performance deliveryis what's going to cut it.
The one thing again theirmusicality.
As a team of brothers going inbetween, you could tell that
they were well-rehearsed, greatenergy.
I just love seeing reggae liveand experiencing it live.
So it's always a greatexperience for me, but I really
(15:01):
enjoyed the concert.
If you don't get a chance,because by the time this release
I think the tour will be over.
However, if you do get a chance, maybe they'll extend it.
You know, maybe they'll do itagain, but if you ever get a
chance to see any of thebrothers, definitely go and do
that, because they all havetheir own performance.
(15:23):
So if you are expecting onething, you're going to get
something else, and I reallyenjoy it.
I enjoy their catalog.
So I think it's a greatexperience to see it live.
It's a great experience to seeit live.
So that is it in terms of myreview of I don't even know if
it's a review, it's just kind oflike five points that I took
(15:44):
away from the Traffic Jam tourfeaturing Damian Jr, gang Marley
and Steven Ragamarley.
I enjoyed the experience andI'm looking forward to doing
more on the rhythm side ofthings.
As I was leaving the venue, theemployees were handing out
Barris promotion flyers.
So they're like, yeah, barrisHammond is coming back.
(16:05):
Make sure you guys come back,get your tickets.
From now I'm like you're thepromo people.
That won't work, because insideof the, the, the music hall,
they had the workers handing outthe flyers Not outside but
inside, and they're promoting awhile ahead.
So I really enjoyed that aswell.
So until next time, my nextrhythm review Later, as I

So, without further ado, hereis the episode.
Hello everyone, and welcome toanother edition of Reels and

So, as we are bringing youreels and rhythms, I wanted to

(01:29):

Steven on tour together.
The last time that I had sawthem it was at the Nokia Theater
, which I don't even think thatexists anymore in Manhattan and
um Damien had really released umWelcome to Jam Rock previously

it's expected, but when you seeit and feel it up close, it's a
(12:52):
little different.
And then, as a Jamaican, whenyou hear and see those moments,
it really puts in perspectivehow big the music is, how vast
the genre is in terms of beingcross-generational, spanning the
test of time, and it makes youreally proud.
The last point that I want tomake, and I don't know why I
(13:15):
never really thought about thisand I don't know if anyone has
even really touched on it.
But as I was watching DamianMarley, I'm like yo, he's a
dance hall artist.
He kind of goes in betweenDJing and singing but I feel
like he DJs a lot more.
But the way that he performedwas like the bravado of like 90s
(13:35):
dance, early 2000 dance artists, like he's definitely rooted in
dancehall culture in terms ofhis um delivery and how he kind
of connects with his audience.
He did take it low, take it lowand and and the rhythm drop
back and then do him thing andthen him come back and then him
(13:55):
jump up and him up the crow.
Like he's such a great umperformer when it comes to
delivery.
It reminded me a lot ofwatching, like some of the
dancehall greats and I.
It clicked for me and I've seenagain.
I've seen them perform multipletimes, but it was yesterday was
the first time that it reallyclicked for me that I'm like yo,
(14:16):
it was still because.
But the positive messages thathe has is also proof that you
know, dancehall can havepositive messages and be really
good and connect with massivepeople.
So we don't have to be in onespace or the other.
I think the variety and morepositive hard-hitting dancehall
(14:37):
lyrics and performance deliveryis what's going to cut it.
The one thing again theirmusicality.
As a team of brothers going inbetween, you could tell that
they were well-rehearsed, greatenergy.
I just love seeing reggae liveand experiencing it live.
So it's always a greatexperience for me, but I really
(15:01):
enjoyed the concert.
If you don't get a chance,because by the time this release
I think the tour will be over.
However, if you do get a chance, maybe they'll extend it.
You know, maybe they'll do itagain, but if you ever get a
chance to see any of thebrothers, definitely go and do
that, because they all havetheir own performance.
(15:23):
So if you are expecting onething, you're going to get
something else, and I reallyenjoy it.
I enjoy their catalog.
So I think it's a greatexperience to see it live.
It's a great experience to seeit live.
So that is it in terms of myreview of I don't even know if
it's a review, it's just kind oflike five points that I took
(15:44):
away from the Traffic Jam tourfeaturing Damian Jr, gang Marley
and Steven Ragamarley.
I enjoyed the experience andI'm looking forward to doing
more on the rhythm side ofthings.
As I was leaving the venue, theemployees were handing out
Barris promotion flyers.
So they're like, yeah, barrisHammond is coming back.
(16:05):
Make sure you guys come back,get your tickets.
From now I'm like you're thepromo people.
That won't work, because insideof the, the, the music hall,
they had the workers handing outthe flyers Not outside but
inside, and they're promoting awhile ahead.
So I really enjoyed that aswell.
