This will be the second appearance at Uptown Theatre for the inspiring and philanthropic reggae legend, Ziggy Marley who sold out the theatre back in July of 2012.
For Ziggy Marley, his latest vehicle of expression the album Fly Rasta, represented a galactic sonic journey. The concept was simple: make a record that was true to himself, and expanded the territories of the traditional reggae sound by exploring new musical spaces. He had brought strands of other genres into his previous albums, but now he was looking further into the musical universe, like the deep-space eye of the Hubble telescope.
Fly Rasta, released this past April, fulfills Ziggy-s mission by marrying his own distinctive reggae sound with elements of psychedelic, rock, funk, soul and pop, exploring further musical zones with the addition of sitar, tabla and taiko drums. ?I-m looking to push the envelope, to challenge myself,? Ziggy explains. ? I have always wanted to travel far beyond the realms of expectations.?
Equally ambitious in its lyrical themes taken from Ziggy-s own life experiences and emotions Fly Rasta is a call to empowerment, enlightenment, freedom and, as with many of Ziggy-s songs, the higher power of love. It-s also a call to action for the planet Earth. A packet of wildflowers is included in every CD, encouraging fans to connect with nature and grow something beautiful. Ziggy is also partnering with several environmental organizations, including COTAP (Carbon Offsets To Alleviate Poverty), which will assist in offsetting the ?carbon footprint? of his upcoming world tour.
