    Reggae music and spirituality go hand-in-hand. The music has always been a source of storytelling, inspiration and motivation; which contributes to its mass appeal of a global audience. While “Good Vibes Only” is a great hashtag on social media, it's real foundation is rooted in the admiration of the simplistic, laid back connection Reggae has on the world by the experience people feel listening to Reggae music.  In this episode I'm sharing my personal connection to Reggae on a spiritual level. Inspired by my attendance of Sizzla's listening session for his upcoming album On a High, where his elderly wisdom and connection to community reminded me of how much his earlier albums inspired me as an adolescent coming into my own spiritual journey. I talk about my love for Reggae's lyrics and riddims over gospel, connection with Rastafarianism, how I experienced Reggae in Dancehall spaces and more. I also mention a Strictly Facts episode on Caribbean Religions, make sure you check that out too. Stay connected to Style & VibesKeep up here:  Website |  NewsletterLet's talk here:  Twitter |  Instagram |  FacebookExecutive Produced by Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown of  Breadfruit MediaSupport the show (https://glow.fm/thestylevibesandpodcast/)

Caribbeans had a field day debating whether or not he should have named his rum J'ouvert with no visible connection to the cultural tradition originating in Trinidad & Tobago, and celebrated across the Caribbean and other countries in lieu of pre-carnival festivities. Some people were calling it cultural appropriation, while others were not bothered by the name nor Michel B.

Sevana effortlessly flows between her powerful vocals and bold Jamaican patois, blending traditional R&B/soul that influences her sound and the Caribbean's tropical riddims that raised her. Be Somebody is Sevana's first major-label debut since signing with RCA Records in partnership with In.Digg.Nation Collective facilitated through the relationship with Six Course Records.
