JAH MASON & SELECTOR LENNY ROOTS
Jah Mason and Selector Lenny Roots, Thursday 6 September @ Sandwiches, WGTN.
On Thursday 6 the NZ Reggae
massive were blessed by the righteous vibes of Jah Mason & Lenny Roots!
I arrived at
Sandwiches just after 11pm to the heavy weight sounds of the Yardwise Massive - they had the
dance floor packed and there were good vibes inside the house. Yardwise kept
the vibe irie, runnin the dance with a great selection of conscious riddims, with the one like The Mighty Asterix
gracing the mic and bringing the niceness - the perfect warm up for Jah
Mason!
Lenny Roots hit
the ones and twos at about midnight and dropped four very
nice riddims to introduce himself and hype the Welly massive for the arrival of
Jah Mason. Jah Mason hit the stage with his trademark turban and donning an army/Rasta
uniform with a red, green, gold scarf and sunnies. Right from the first riddim
he had the crowd captivated with mesmerizing energy and stage presence taking
us on a musical journey through his back catalogue. In amongst the heavy
riddims being dropped such as Love is the Way, Wheat & Tears,
and Danger Zone, Jah Mason spread his conscious message of
righteousness and Rastafari which I found refreshing and created a feel-good
vibe throughout Sandwiches.
The first
impression you get of Jah Mason is that of a tall, warrior-like man, but when
he opens his mouth you hear the humbleness in his voice and the positive
message of Haile Selassie I's teachings. The tune of the night for me was the
ganja anthem Ganja For Life - it was the full dance-floor runner. Big ups to Jah Mason and Lenny Roots for an excellent
show and for sharing their positive message of unity. It was a great celebration
of Roots and Culture in Wellington city and we look forward to many more such events!
Big ups to the
promoters NiceUp and Newtown Sound for
having the vision to bring such an outstanding show to the Wellington massive!!
BIG UPS!!
