Well readers its true there is a music called Jewish Reggae. There is a group that sings soulful and meaningful songs set to Reggae beats. Now they have been around for a while and I began listening to them when I was walking past a Jewish school for girls. Because as you know Jewish girls and boys do not go to school together.This is the story. I was walking past the school and I heard the girls listing to Reggae music. I stopped and said what are you listening to and they said, Jewish Reggae. I said really, and they turned it up.Then I asked what was the name of the group and they said Matisyahu. I absorbed the lesson and moved on.
Now years later I remember this group Matisyahu and searched for them on YouTube. I came up with the first song I ever heard from them "King Without A Crown". And then "One day" which is a uptempo soulful song which was well written, sung and produced.
In a world that stands divided most of the time I believe the Matisyahu served to bring us all a little closer together. And finally to really blow your mind Matisyahu is an Hasidic Jew. Thats right reader he is a member of the Hasidim the Orthodox Jewish Sect.
True creativity always rises to top in my opinion. I find myself riding down the street with Matisyahu's song "One day" blasting from my cell phones mp3 player.
Until next time readers.
One Life, One Love, One World.
