Interview: Justin Nozuka (Video)

 

When you listen to Justin Nozuka’s music, you may feel you’ve found Canada’s answer to the the blue-eyed soul/rock made popular by artists like Ray Lamontagne, Citizen Cope and Gavin Degraw. Half-Japanese and half- American, Nozuka’s vocals soar with the gusto of Jason Mraz and the bounce of Bob Marley, making it hard to believe he is a mere 22 years-old.

Bob Marley’s Family Loses Court Battle Over The Rights To His Songs

Last Friday according to a report by Reuters, the family of legendary reggae artist Bob Marley has lost a lawsuit that would have given them sole rights to some of the icon’s most celebrated recordings. Instead a U.S District Court awarded the recording rights of five Marley albums to Universal Music Group Recordings.

U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan said the UMG Recordings unit of Vivendi SA’s Universal Music Group is the rightful owner of copyrights to five albums that Marley had recorded between 1973 and 1977 for Island Records.

The albums “Catch a Fire,” “Burnin’,” “Natty Dread,” “Rastaman Vibrations” and “Exodus” were recorded with Marley’s band The Wailers. They include some of Marley’s best-known songs, including “Get Up, Stand Up,” “I Shot the Sheriff,” “No Woman, No Cry” and “One Love.”

Salvador Santana Keys Up to Premiere Solo Album (Video)

The Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree 

Salvador Santana knows a thing or two about music. Not just its past, present or even the direction in which it is going; rather, the keyboardist, vocalist, composer and songwriter knows, as an artist, how to steer clear of being boxed into any one genre and utilize his passion for music to its fullest potential. It was his father, Carlos Santana, who taught him at an early age to maximize his love of beautiful sounds. Sal’s musical background has led him to take a full-throttle approach toward what he feels will be pleasing to the ear; and his jazz, pop, Latin and hip-hop influences are apparent on his new album, Keyboard City.
