Album Notes

THIS ALBUM IS ALSO AVAILABLE THROUGH APPLE iTUNES AND OTHER ONLINE DISTRIBUTORS.

Rabbi Mikael Zerbib, born in Bordeaux, France , is the artist behind this new album. Living in Jerusalem as a teenager, he joined the Diaspora Yeshiva Band with whom he performed over 500 concerts. He moved to New York City where he founded Kayama before returning once again to France where he now lives. His international roots have influenced his music and he sings equally comfortably in French, English, and Hebrew.

He's had a love of Reggae since his youth, feeling of a kindred spirit with Bob Marley since the first time he heard him.

"I just loved the groove and the easy-going feeling and comfort with oneself that Bob Marley expressed. I felt that there was a natural relation with Reggae and being an authentic loving family man. Life IS wonderful and stress-free when you're doing what you're meant to do and Reggae's easy rhythms and laid-back vocals allow you to listen in the background, not begging for attention."

He decided to go solo on his first Reggae album, so to express his positive catchy melodies with total freedom. "Some people focus on the production values, he says, but I think the people out there just relate to the true positive Bob Marley vibe in the songs. The best way to connect with Kayama is to listen to the music, and let the groove do its thing".

The title "Mussareggae" means Reggae with Ethics, songs advocating integrity in relationships with others, and above all, acknowledgment of the Creator.

Please feel free to contact Kayama, we'd love to hear your comments and keep you up to date as to concert tours and new albums.
