Time Zone: EST (New York, Toronto)

Iman was at the Toots concert last night. Rastaful. Here is an elder bredrin (hair not locked) who sings the praises of Ras Tafari itesfully. He rocked the house for over two hours and still hadn't finished when I man left. He is one of the original Studio One stars from Trenchtown, featured in 'The Harder They Come'. His positive energy and vibes were truly a joy. Iman recommend checking his show if any of the I's can. Iman checked brother Toots as a genuine Ras Tafari prophet/ performer. No violence; no vulgarity; no self agrandizement; no judgment; no hate...just positve music and togetherness...and he must be around 60 years old. "It gives great joy to see such sweet togetherness...everyone doing and they're doing their best" Rasta lives...InI are moving in the POSITIVE; let all weak-hearts scatter, shatter and batter... Sellasie I, King

I am going to the Toots concert tonight! I love the music of the Skafather, the loving spirit runs deep within that man. Yes, a genuine prophet. Check out some of the Maytals' older material. Albums like "From the Roots" and "Never Grow Old".

Wasn't there a Toots feat Shaggy song? And wasn't it VERY sexual(shaggy's part of course)? Blessed and Selah

Yeah Toots featured Shaggy in a version of Bam-Bam on the "True Love" album. Shaggy does a little breakdown in the middle of it. I've heard it and the lyrics are not sexual. It's a song about being humble and fighting for whats right. What is BUJU?

Yes Bredren, Toots has been Rasta since the 60's. He's always been a longtime friend and brother of the Wailers as well. Last night's show was excellent!

Iman have seen Toots' show so many times I could practically do it for him (if I could sing!) Very positive upful music performed with joy and love, but not alot of overtly Rastafari content. "hit me one time * hit me two times * * ..."
