Nasio Fontaine: A Voice From the Golden Age of Reggae

"There are moments on this subperb roots reggae album where Nasio Fontaine sounds as if he's channeling the spirit of Bob Marley with his vocals. I don't think anyone is going to hold that against him.



With all of the slackness and hip-hoppery of today's crew of dancehall stylists in reggae music, it's refreshing to hear from someone who is keeping the flame alive on behalf of the pre-Eighties, roots and conciousness reggae music. Most younger reggae singers have distanced themselves from their own roots and have embraced the current mutation of hip hop beats, funk driven riddims, world music sounds, and authentic reggae music has become, only an afterthought. Exceptions to this are Anthony B. and Nasio.



Nasio is a voice from the golden age of reggae, and let's hope he doesn't become a voice in the wilderness. Contemporary regagge doesn't embrace Jah righteousness and oneness as Nasio is compable of doing, and he embraces his roots with passion, clarity and rock solid musicianship."

Muzic from my body and soul

"Jah look good music, who you may ask? Nasio on his latest cd "Living In The Positive". Well all I can say is that the man got a talent too put me in a mellow mood. Right now I have escaped this world on a musical journey that has my spirit in the presence of the good Lord and that's a wonderful feeling. My body can't stay still, in a meditation trance I am where music is the water soothing my soul. With a sun that carries the problems of this world I man can't be hurt cause this great music protects me from all the harmful rays it sends my way. I am just a soul bathing in the river of Jah blessed soulful music which Nasio has created.



Thanks Nasio



May Jah continue to lift your spirit so you can take us higher.
