- Event Details
- Akasha: the best of reggae grooves and rich vocal harmonies. Stylistically, Akasha sounds like they stepped out of a 1972 session at Studio One. Their reggae is powerfully authentic but also is accessible to the contemporary ear. Akasha's distinct approach is refreshing and earnest. They are courageously trailblazing a path for a new generation to receive the gifts of the Jamaican musical canon. The Akasha sound gives birth to an unmistakable variety of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of The Skatalites, The Maytals, Desmond Dekker and The Wailers. Akasha had played most of the venues in town including the traditional reggae venues but felt that there wasn't a location that catered to the many styles of the reggae canon. They teamed up with the Simmer Down Sound djs and Double Door to create a monthly reggae night aptly titled Simmer Down Sunday. This event is a mixture of djs and live performers, including sets by Akasha and family. The selection is all vinyl covering early Jamaican styles, Reggae and dancehall.
