*Ky-mani Marley & Andrew Tosh *

The legacy that a father leaves to his son is the principle behind the new 
tribute album "Legacy", that Andrew Tosh, son of  legendary Peter Tosh, 
just released.To celebrate & remember his father,a reggae pioneer and 
the Legacy he left him, Andrew Tosh choosed a title, "Lessons In My Life"
which his father already used forasong in his last album,No Nuclear War.
"Lessons In My Life" is the lead single from the album and it features also

the voice of Ky-mani Marley, son of legendary Bob Marley.
It is the very first time that the offspring of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley are collaborating together in a track, that combines some original elements 
of  the original track with Andrew's modern interpretation.

You can hear the congo drums, guitars and even violins as well as sample 
taken from the original song. The whole album is crafted nicely and i do
wonder if like their fathers these young artists will take on their shoulders 
the will to change Humanity for the better.Bunny Wailer is on the album
too.Andrew Tosh and Ky-mani Marley are touring together, currently  in
West Africa and they were together as well during these past months  of 
October and November 2010 touring South America.
Andrew Tosh also recently performed in the city of Brasilia,Brasil,

in front of 12,000 people.

*Reggae Grammy Awards*

The Grammy Awards will be presented in Los Angeles on February. 

The Reggae Grammy is part of the Grammy Award by 25 years and  

includes a Best Reggae Album category,which is the most important.

Unluckly, The Reggae Grammy Award will be presented  in the  pre -

show, which won't  be  televised.

The Reggae category at the Grammy Awards, originally referred to 

as  Best Reggae Recording, was first introduced in  1985  and  band 

Black Uhuru received the first award for their album, Anthem. 

The name of the category was changed to Best Reggae Album in '92.

The list of nominees for this year Best Reggae Album  is led by  Buju 

Banton,whose Before The Dawn was released earlier this year while 

he was incarcerated in a Tampa jail on drug charges. The  album   is 

said to be a prophetic piece of work and marks his fifth Grammy nod.

Another important nomination is for the album Isaacs  Meets  Isaac. 

This album is a collaboration between the legendary  Reggae crooner, 

Gregory Isaacs and South African - based Reggae  singer / songwriter, 

King Isaac.

Veteran artist and producer, Lee 'Scratch' Perry makes another of his

appearances at the Grammys,as he is nominated for his album,named

Revelation. Perry won his first Grammy back in  2003 for  the project

Jamaica's rhythm twins, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare,that are 

also known as Sly & Robbie,have a double nomination for the awards.

This time, the second generation reggae act is represented by Andrew 

Tosh, son of legendary Wailer, Peter Tosh. The younger Tosh's project, 

Legacy An Acoustic Tribute To Peter Tosh seems to have hit  with 

the Grammy voters , earning the nomination.

Reggae artist and son of Bob Marley, Stephen Marley, holds the record

for most Grammy Award wins in the Reggae category.He has won a total 

of five trophies  three times as a member of the sibling band, The Melody
