Taj Weekes and Adowa will premiere Rain Rain in a special live performance on August 7th at 11:30 pm at Joe’s Pub in New York City. Attendees will receive a Limited Edition Rain Rain CD Single to commemorate the event.
Jatta Records presents St. Lucian artist Taj Weekes and Adowa’s ground breaking third album, A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen, set for worldwide release on October 26, 2010. Their debut single, Rain Rain, ushers in a deluge of fresh reggae songs laced with acoustic strings including guitar, violin and cello, splashes of soulful harmonica and a touch of afro-folk simplicity for an album that will challenge listeners to redefine common perceptions of reggae and where’s its heading as a genre.
Taj Weekes and his band Adowa unite a true social consciousness with an unforgettable reggae groove. Blending in elements of acoustic roots rock and afro-folk simplicity, the band’s vibrant sound defies genre and has garnered critical acclaim and a wide audience across the globe. To date, the group has released two full-length albums to critical acclaim, Hope & Doubt and Deidem, which won “Best Reggae Album” at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards.
