Mr. Vegas

International Reggae star Mr. Vegas is urging fellow musicians and music fans to sign the Save Foundation Reggae petition. The petition is aimed at urging radio disc jockeys to include the music of foundation Reggae pioneers like Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Culture, and Alton Ellis into their playlists. I signed the petition, you can sign it here: Sign Petition to Save Foundation Reggae Music. You can also “like” the Facebook page “Save Foundation Reggae”.

The online petition also makes an appeal to Jamaica’s current crop of producers, who are believed to have flooded radio with Hip Hop inspired beats instead of the island’s signature bass-heavy rhythms.

According to Mr. Vegas Reggae music is like the heartbeat of Jamaican people and culture, and now it is barely played on popular radio stations anymore.

“Young people today have no idea who Cynthia Schloss or Hortense Ellis or Delroy Wilson are, he said.

This petition is to let them know that foundation Reggae is still a crucial part of our culture and we must preserve our musical heritage and legacy,” he said.

Mr. Vegas says he will be releasing his first full Reggae album, Sweet Jamaica, in 2012.
