Jah Love Sound began in 1974,
but it wasn't until the early
'80s, when selector Ilawi teamed
up regularly with Brigadier
Jerry, that the sound started to
take off with the masses. It is
the product of two musical
inspirations coming together,
taking parts of "Jah Mik" and "Jah
Love Sound" to create "Jah Love
Sound."
They were the best combination
as selector and dj around at
that time. Jah Love Sound (aka
Jah Love Muzik system) was run
by the Christian Rastafarian
sect, the Twelve Tribes of
Israel. While Briggy was with
Jah Love, bootleg cassette tapes
of his live performances began
to circulate among DJ
aficionados, resulting in packed
houses wherever they played.

Now based in New York City, Jah
Love Sound continues to bring
its unique brand of conscious
Rastafarian roots music to the
people both in local clubs
throughout the area as well as
at festivals world-wide. Sierra
Nevada World Music Festival is
pleased to announce that Jah
Love Sound System will be
rocking the massive at this
year's festival along with
Brigadier Jerry. |
