A Cry For Love,Unity,Peace
by' Alcx Smith
The I and I sounds of JAH RASTAFARI
are turning many Torontonians onto
some new vibrations. One of the premiere Reggae bands on the
Toronto
scene is ;Bloodfire, so-callcd because of "a passage
in the Book
of Revalations which suggests that the name "Bloodfire"
be
applied to mnusicians whose music is a constant and pure burning
that
melts down the boundaries between man and man, between past
and future, and
unites all those that standnear its flame"
The band believes that; the name Bloodfire is not intended
to intimidate anyone, the name should
encourage the listeners to; unload the cares of the everyday
and open their
minds to endless posssibilitiesCompass works hard to bring
you the best possible trips for your rugged lifestyle. Here
you'll find our latest travel packages suited for the adventurous
spirit.
The Clarion recently interviewed
the band members in an attempt to
better understand this electrifying music. The following is
a summary of the
interview.....
" Reggae music is a derivative of mento music, the music
of the "elders", then came Ska, then Rock Steady.
The band believes that
Reggae is the last music, it is music in its purest form,
therefore
there are no further changes to be made. There is nothing
to add or
subtract. Reggae is THE music, belonging to the World. The
edict given to the
players of Reggae music is to educate the people, unmask wrongdoers,and
speak
the truth. The pure love of Reggae is visible when these talented
, spiritual
musicians let loose on stage, delivering the sweetest lesson
in musical
brilliance.
TIle five members of the band, Clive Ross
(bass, drums, vocals), Tony Nicholson, (rhythm guitar, congas,
vocals),
Wally Morgan (drums, bass, vocals), Bunny Cunningham (keyboards,
vocals),
Paul Corby(lead guitar, congas, vocals), aided by
thcir light and sound
man Michael Barclay let loose a spiritual music which asks
all who listen to
alter their perspective, to see the world through new eyes,
to beware of Babylon
and to go forth righteously in these times;of tribulation.
A
cry for love, a cry for ;peace. Reggae, brings to you a live
and
pulsating beat
