A Musical Celebration of Life for a "Pillar of Reggae" Giving Thanks & Praise by paying Homage, Honor, Respect and RASpect in Every Aspect for the life of Asrat Aemro Sellassie.
He was a humble Lion who hailed from Ethiopia, settling in Chicago with many of his Brethren during the EXODUS taking place in the mid 70,'s . This is where DALLOL, the Ethiopian Afro-Reggae band that Asrat was in (as well as Ruphael Woldemariam @ruphaelwm ) rapidly became a force.
By the early 80's DALLOL (Asrat & Ruphael and other members of band) had acquired the Wild Hare, then located on N. Clark st. in Chicago's Wrigleyville neighbor-
hood, became known as the Reggae Capital of the USA. It wasn't long after, that Rita Marley sought out DALLOL, and signed them to her "Rita Marley Music" label.
Asrat Aemro Sellassie and the members of DALLOL became the transformative backing band for Bob & Rita's children's group. Prior to this "Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers" only had mediocre success, but now DALLOL helped propel ZM&MM to stardom nearly overnight by fusing, incorporating African rhythms with Jamaica's Reggae riddims.
This hybrid produced Two Grammy Award winning albums and the world tours that followed. The 1988 "CONSCIOUS PARTY" lp had hit songs such as 'Tomorrow People' , 'Dreams of Home' & 1989 lp "ONE BRIGHT DAY" produced timeless classics 'Look Who's Dancing' & 'Black My Story' (Not History) the later included vocals sung in the ancient Ethiopian language Amharic, which gave it a royal feel.
So only in Chicago on Monday night 5/8 at Subterranean @subtchicago could this be happening. It was an Allstar cast of the Windy City's who's who of the Reggae Community and I was honored to be there among the many who were part of this special event. Blessed Love.

The Cambridge dictionary defines #AUTHENTICITY as: "the quality of being #real or #true"
In reality we don't see it too often in people.Yet still, I have been blessed to have experienced some of the most authentic souls through Music. One such person is David Alert from @ReggaeStreetRadio

David Alert has been a golden vessel to Reggae for South Bend Indiana and has spent a great deal of his life serving reggae and the reggae community with heart and soul. ❤️👑💚
South Bend is no stranger to reggae and that is largely in part due to David Alert. We give thanks for his labor of love for over 40 YEARS and for bringing us One Love in #action and in #sound. David is responsible for bringing some of the biggest names of reggae to South Bend along with international touring and local musicians and keeping reggae vibrations soaring high in the Michiana area and beyond. Here he is awarded by the city of South Bend as "South Bend's Reggae Ambassador". A title well deserved, and well represented.
🔊🌎❤️🎶 @DavidAlert
.
We also give thanks to
"The African Teacher"
John Pangani for his years of service to reggae, festivals, booking and promotion and for maintaining a rich heritage in South Bend of both Jamaican and African music and culture. He works alongside David Alert at @ReggaeStreetRadio at the @notredame student center. He has also been a huge part of booking and promoting Reggae and African Music in the Michiana area.
We are thankful for his #passion, #influence and all he does. Here he is awarded by the city of South Bend, being named "The Reggae Teacher." His leadership is felt and heard not just currently but will be for years to come.
🔊❤️💛💚🎶 @johnpangani
.
Last but surely not least is @FadaWayne being awarded "2023 Reggae Artist of the Year".
One of the first shows I photographed at the newly opened @VegetableBuddies was Fada. He has been integrated with South Bend and the Michiana area for years.
We give thanks to him and all the musicians who have raised the sound of #unity and brought #highervibrations again and again to the #Michiana area.
🙌🏽🙏🏼❤️🎶

Asrat Sellassie was someone I have known for 40 years, and I can truly say we lost a true Reggae stalwart from Chicago by way of Ethiopia.
Asrat the Humble Lion, a kind man with a contagious smile.
Rest Well, see you then & there ❤💛💚🎵🎶🎵🎶💯🔥🇪🇹
