HIGHEST REGION RECORDS PRESENTS:
the debut album
This album draws on a range of 'old skool reggae' musical styles through the 70's 80's and 90's. It has been produced by SHAKESPEARE, veteran Jamaican vocalist musician and producer with some earlier arrangements by VOCAL CONNEXION, London The lyrics portray ina 'live-session' style, a personal view of Jewish Orthodox life in the 21st Century. It's essence is poetical social commentary. This Debut CD is a progression from the award winning project SISTA WARRIOR completed for the
JEWISH MUSIC INSTITUTE
FROM ASHES TOWARDS TESHUVA
(spiritual return)
Which can be viewed at the British Library.
This CD is not supposed to be just easy listening for your musical pleasure! It attempts to convey a glimpse into the life and times of 'Der Yid' - 'The Jew', in the fortunate position of living as part of what is universally and historically known as the 'K'lal Yisroel', the 'Community of Israel', in it's deeper sense.
The album records events that are real and illustrates that K'lal Yisroel is NOT just a concept... I hope that this anthology of songs can share with the listener, to some extent, the beauty of what it is like to live in Jewish Ghetto Land... in 5766, (C21st) two thousand years after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem..
MACHON OR ISRAEL-AFRICA (TRACK 2).
This song was specially written and recorded in an attempt to raise awareness of 'INSTITUTE OF LIGHT ISRAEL-AFRICA'
and the work it is achieving. There are many large communities of Jews, scattered all over AFRICA, most of whom do not have access to Jewish resourses. The Intitute is currently raising funds to send over vital holy books, Torah scrolls, teaching materials and training programmes for the many communities that have not had access to any formal Jewish learning for many decades.

SHit HOt!

For a debut album, its a bit rusty. Shows there was no big money behind it though, which can be a good thing. too much too soon only leaves a large gap where soul, heart and life should be. This one's Just dedication with raw talent. Your next album. DUB?

Keep it up Sister Warrior and let me know when your DUB version will be available to hear.
