*Bingie General Inspired By Vybz Kartel*

After over a decade of being absent from the music scene Bingie General is trying to  make  a  return  in  the  dancehall music  industry. Bingie, brother  of  Major Mackerel, says that Vybz's recent  cover of his hits dated back to 1987 "Come Rush me Now" gave him inspiration to come out of  his box.Being a cover the two songs are  similar  lyrically and  Addi Di Teacher  added his flavour to the song with his popular "oh" and "ahoe" interjections. The cover  has  been extremely popular in the dancehall and Mr Bingie is grateful that Vybz decided to cover his song. Since 

the cover is out a lot of other artists reached out  to Bingie  to  have  some  specials recorded wth him.Apart from being an artist, Bingie  General  also  boasted of  the numerous albums of other artists, for which he did production work. Among those he mentioned were albums for Yellowman, John Holt, and Singing Melody.

Aware that it may be little odd for the younger generation to see a man of his age doing dancehall music Bingie General says he has his own formula: to use young producers and song writers with the hottest rhytms will be his way to get the ghetto youth attention. Big Ups Bingie General and as usual Big Ups to Kartel making another  glorius entry in MissGaza blog!

*Rise Up a *Sunday 26 Carib Theatre Kingston*

Rise Up   is a movie/documentary written & directed by Luciano Blotta,

an independent  argentinian filmaker.
Is a journey to the heart of Jamaica.

The movie  showcases  and tells the story of Jamaica's underground 

music community and  struggles, dreams and aspirations of three young artists.

RiseUp features Turbulence, a charismatic lyrical master from the ghetto

in Kingston; Ice, a songwriter from uptown St Andrew and Kemoy,

a timid but very gifted  songstress from Clarendon.

This movie is  totally fresh, good riddims in it too { check the site for a sneak peak }

and the director  goes close and personal. His style is simple but original and authentic.

Rise Up took almost four years to be completed and it's inspired by and

features the graffitied walls in Kingston, Clarendon's views,

Mobay beaches and dancehall parties scattered all over the island

portraying beauty, violence, poverty, inequality ,talent, music, dreams of some

young insiders of the Jamrock underground scene.

Blotta also features veteran jamaican musicians and celebrates and honors

reggae music and his pioneers and between them legends as

Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.

The word Premiere for the movie is been the International Documentary 

Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), followed by a sneak preview  at True/False 

Film Festival in Missouri where it received the Top Ten Audience Award.

This movie has been racking up awards, official selections for world-renowned

festivals, rave reviews and screening in over 20 countries and is going
to be finally screen also in Jamaica on Sunday 26 October  at the historic
Carib Cinema in Kingston and opens in theatres islandwide the following day.

RiseUp already won the Best Music Documentary Award from the Silver Docs
an American Film Institute, and Discovery Channel Film Festival.
Earlier this year Rise Up was also chosen by  New York's Lincoln Center Film Society
to celebrate Black History Month and the film was broadcasted by many networks
worldwide, including BBC.

Born in Argentina and based in Los Angeles, Blotta grew up loving  Marley's
music. When he was a student at the University of Miami, he was invited
to Jamaica where he discovered the music of some of the upcoming Jamaican
artist. Botta with his genuinity surely created some sort of Contemporary
Masterpiece about Jamrock and this is going to become a classic as
"The harder they come"  or "Shotta".
Don 't be lazy and go to the movie theatres i also heard of a party in TelAviv
with the film crew Sunday night in Kingston.
