Aaron Nigel Smith
Ras Danny
Reggae Music Show Debut
KBOO Community radio reg-
gae programmer Ras Danny and
award winning reggae artist Aar-
on Nigel Smith want Portland to
become an important hub for reg-
gae music. Opening the New Year,
they are launching their first of
what they hope will be a series of
shows for the Portland community
connected with the global and lo-
cal reggae scene.
Rocker-T and the 7th Street
Band will headline the first “Just-
SomeReggaeFolk” event, Saturday,
Jan. 6 at Mississippi Studios, 3939
N. Mississippi Ave. Doors open at 8
p.m. for the 21 and over show. The
local group Ska, Rocksteady, soul
band Heavy City and DJ Cansaman
will round out the lineup.
“Reggae music is the heartbeat
of our planet,” says Danny. “We
want Portland to come together in
the spirit of unity and dance to the
reggae riddim.’
Smith, known for his work in
the world of children’s music, will
debut music from a new album
geared to adults.
“The current social and politi-
cal climate brings up a lot of stuff
for me that I can’t express through
the medium of kids music, so I’m
excited for the opportunity to
share some of these new songs,”
says Smith.
