Buju Banton’s Legendary Comeback Concert ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ Held in Jamaica

Buju Banton’s Long Walk to Freedom Concert, one of the biggest music events in Jamaica’s history, was held Saturday night at Kingston’s National Stadium, marking the reggae icon’s return to the stage after an eight-year absence. Banton didn’t willingly take a break from performing; he had been incarcerated in federal prison following a conviction on cocaine-trafficking charges.

New York City’s Bobby Konders and Jabba of Massive B Sound and Hot 97 (WQHT FM) set a fitting tone with their selections of 1980s and 1990s dancehall classics. The stadium was packed, nearly reaching its 35,000-person capacity as the 8 p.m. showtime drew closer.

Several of Buju’s collaborators also joined him on stage to celebrate his return. They included Marcia Griffiths, former member of Bob Marley’s I-Threes, whom Banton said he regarded as a mother; Wayne Wonder, with whom Banton performed the 1992 dancehall classic “Bona Fide Love” and one of Banton’s mentors; and singer Beres Hammond. Beres and Buju performed their exuberant ode to dancehall “Can You Play Some More,” and caused the already frenzied crowd to scream even louder when they sang each other’s verses on their 1992 hit, “Who Say?”

Banton had little to say about his incarceration except for counting down, to the second, the amount of time he was locked up, which served as the introduction to “Driver A.” Banton’s 2007 hit about a ganja dealer sending his driver to make a delivery in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, contains a somewhat prescient lyric, as he cautions his driver: “Just remember the damn speed limit cause if you run into the Feds, my friend, that is it.” For the time being, maybe that’s the only direct reference to his incarceration that Banton needs to make.

Esprit De Corps

Esprit De Corps is a new Atlanta-based music group focused on creating reggae/soul music with an 80’s-style influence. Taken literally, the term “Esprit De Corps” refers to the ability of a group to maintain pride, loyalty, morale and fellowship to an institution or oneself and others. Esprit De Corps the brainchild of Grammy award winning producer/mixer Neal H Pogue whom wanted a fresh, unique spin on reggae music consists of lead vocalist/bassist Shock Mama Cherry and her sidekick DJ Roots Queen.

Shock Mama Cherry’s early roots were in the heart of Brooklyn, where she began writing poetry and music at the early age of 10. By the age of 16, she was signed to a record label and began writing, producing, recording and performing soul music on a much broader scale. Since that time, Cherry has been working in and around the music industry in a variety of capacities (including writing for artists such as Jaheim and Dwele) and has even delved into modeling and acting.

DJ Roots Queen, originally from Florida, now a resident ATLien, this female master of the turntables gets respect for her wicked spinning of those “Riddims”. Roots Queen fell in love with music as a little girl, listening to it with her father. Her reputation speaks for itself within the West Indian DJ Community, earning the respect of some of the best in the business. Now, as a 17 year veteran, DJ Roots Queen, continues to break down barriers in her field. Roots Queen can be heard on “Rude Girl Radio” on the world famous DJ Clue’s radio station www.desertstormradio.com.

Shock Mama and Roots Queens mutual love of Reggae makes their collaboration Esprit De Corps.

You can catch “Esprit De Corps” at Javelina, 69 Rainey St. Austin Texas
