ONE LOVE: REGGAE: Iman Issachar: Rastafarian, promoter

“Basically I've chosen this LP - this is called “312” on Jah Shaka Music and basically the reason why I’ve chosen this as I was kind of part of the process of making this - even though I’m not really a singer or an artist as such like that - and certainly not a producer. But I love Reggae music and obviously I’m involved in the industry in terms of playing music and presenting on radio and organising events and so on. Basically since I’ve started doing my events “One Dub Events” for the last six or seven years now - as we see some of my merchandise here!I worked very closely with the son of Jah Shaka whose name is Young Warrior - based in London. Jah Shaka is my inspiration in many areas of life to be honest - now I know him as well now - we’ve got to know each other. To cut a long story short - Young Warrior produced this in Wales it was - it was an event called 'The United Nations of Dub Weekender' which was like the biggest U.K. Roots, Dub, Reggae Sound System Festival - ever. And it was held at Pontins in Prestatyn and it happened I think about four or five years in a row and I think this happened in 2015. So Young Warrior would perform with the sound system from London and like I say I’m crew, part of the crew kind of thing. I was roomed next door to him - this is his room number. So basically he set up a studio in the room, yeah his room was 312 I took that photograph and come up with the idea ‘just call it 312 ‘. So all of the artists that are involved I sort of one by one saw them at the festival and just says ‘hey - come let’s go for a walk you know’ - and so they were like - ‘what?!’ So I took them to the room - I took them to room 312 and as we opened )the door) they saw Young Warrior with his studio - pop-up studio, microphone, his laptop and everything ready to record, he had all his music ready so they just did their thing - one by one. Most of them were all from Birmingham apart from Sistah Lore - she’s from Spain. And yeah - it’s a wonderful album basically a mixture of lots different artists and a couple of riddims and it’s done really well. It was released last year 2017.And yeah it’s just wonderful to be part of the process - and I love the music as well it’s fantastic - it’s very very good! So yeah - that’s my choice “312” by Young Warrior.”Iman Issachar: The Hatman, Birmingham, 27th November 2018Young Warrior: Presents 312 released 2017Iman Issachar - One Dub EventsThe Hatman - Birmingham
