Good ragged the VI every time🌏
Big up to all the vi artist that was featured on here nuff luv and Raspekt but there's much more virgin islands artist that was around at the time should have been spoken on ..but i luv this and hope to see more documentary like this
Bless my lord. Hard for me to put into words how much this documentary, with all the rare footage i never seen before, how crucial this is. Absolutely priceless. I’m a man who lived in the states, but from early Midnite days, exposed me to all the other VI artists. Danny I, Abja, Army, Ras Attitude, Pressure, Nyorah, Bambu Station, Lava, Sabbatical Order, etc, etc, etc… The artist dem, seemed uncountable at the time. It seemed like everyday was new artist, a new compilation… I was a young Rasta in my early 20’s, and hungry for it all. It was I sound… Remember the vireggae web site? With all the artists listed on the left hand side. ? I man used to study that list, and then scoured the internet looking for the music. I used to order all the cds from Tippy’s old viroots web site. That was such a special wave at the time. I can’t say thanks enough for your works documenting it. Real talk, I gonna watch this 100 times or more 😂. This i favorite Ras. Jah willing I’d like to link, and reason in person someday. This could easily be a 5, or even 10 part series. So much powerful music, worthy of being noted and documented. Give thanks. Ras Todd
Great memories! Grateful to have been witness to a lot of these moments. Give thx for your work Ras Iyame.
Give thanks for your contribution I-Culture
Amazing!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So proud to say that my father, Josephat John has done some incredible work in the Virgin Islands and the world. Big up to my favorites Man T and the Midnite Band.
LOVE THIS‼️‼️‼️💜💜💜
This is a BEAUTIFULLY made documentary. Extremely important work Ras Iyame! Thank you for putting this together.
Give thanks Arthur, glad you like it. Check out volume II, to see how the artists evolved by the year 2000. Special thanks to Soundstage stage for their edits and drone footage of our beautiful islands.
Thanks for this ✊🏾documentary 🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮

These documentaries are the very definition of the half that's not being told. The emergence of Reggae on the world stage cannot be credited to VI musicians only. What about the contributions of those in the Zion High Kings Camp who are not from the VI who have worked with Danny I, Akae Beka ,Batch, Pressure ?
Tippy did mention them in his volume Il interview. I am hoping this is just the beginning, Bredren.
@@rasiyameculturalcollection2063 I watched the 2nd episode. He did not mention Me ,Drew, Balboa,Tuff Lion or Style Scott . I played on 100 strong and Virgin Islands nice and the majority of the Akae Beka Albums Tippy and Jah D produced plus Beauty for Ashes and Ride Tru,the last 2 official Midnite Albums that had no one from Midnite's band on either one . Our contributions cannot be overlooked or excluded. We are the ones who did the work to continue Vaughn's legacy right up until he left us.
Love to know how Rastafari reach VI
Big up V I...amazing vibes
Finally! A well researched recognition of VI Reggae roots history. Give thanks for all the interviews and live show footage. I’ve often wondered how Rastafari conscious Talent bubbles so prodigiously outta the VI
Give thanks for the positive feedback Culture yard, be sure you to view volume 2.
Big up yourself VI. I'm one of the big fan of VI reggae music. It's unique celestial sounds from MIDNITE band and AKAE BEKA the master teacher captured my soul from such time until this time. I'm from South Africa and wish to visit VI at least once in my lifetime. RAS TAFARI Guide and Protect InI All...Seen!!!
Give thanks Jahbone, and likewise I & I would love to visit South Africa, Bless up
Typo: Jahson
Did any of these bands record? Is there a way to hear some of these groups?
Greetings Azimuth, Devon “Man T” Peters and Midnite have footage uploaded on RUclips. Most artists in volume Il have recordings some of which are uploaded. Give thanks
Blackmon know yourself up good tune
Blessings,Give thanks for the info, ST. Thomas was only represented by Ras Abijah but there we're many other Reggae Bands and artists on ST. Thomas and ST.John. For instance Prophecy now going by the name Inner Visions , Ras Nisha, Rebel Action Sound System,Ras Nature And the DubWise Brethren, Calabash, Young blood, Bashan, Selah, Abiah, Tanasha and Jomo Pemberton. The Evolution Of USVI Reggae should encompass all. Heart of love
Noted David, couldn’t agree more. This encompasses years of compiling, cleaning corroded vhs tapes, and seeking video footage, music or pictures of some of the above mentioned artists. No disrespect intended towards St. Thomian and St. Johnian artists, but a decision was made to segment the documentaries into volumes, and get it started. Star Lion Family and Inna vision performed in volume Il. Your mentioning of others, some of whom I am familiar with, will definitely help me to do specific research. I believe DJ Calabash is a good place to start. Funding is crucial to do a thorough job, so I am hoping constructive comments like yours will help with some grant funding. Blessed Love!
Midnite a light ina de dark Nuff Love Thanks to share this early recording so mighty
Give thanks for the link, loved seeing and learning meh people and home. Great works Ras Iyame💯❤🔥❣
Thanks for your contribution and comment
Brilliant 💥💥💥💥💥 Thank you
So refreshing to see how the reggae music has evolved in the VI, Overall my favorite from that time was Zeus & the Kasha Heads. Remember them practicing in their yard in Grove place and making me extremely proud of self when they played live in Arthur A Richards school court yard. Midnite of course is history. That was a vibe....
Give thanks, I-Zuse was a heartical Idren, Glad to help refresh your memories, and that I was able to memorialize his band, may he R.I.P.
I watched the documentaries and was disappointed that indivduals like myself and Drew Stoch were not credited for being a part of the emergence of USVI being noticed and recognised on the world stage of Reggae . I do not blame you but Tippy for making sure those contributions are noted .
Sorry Junior Richards that you were disappointed after all the work to recover old footage. Note that it was stressed throughout that it’s from the producer’s perspective and all artists were not included. However you are encouraged to send any music or video for future volumes. Raising funds to feature the women in the Evolution …. Give thanks for the feedback
@@rasiyameculturalcollection2063 I overstand the Producers were the focus, but the musicians create the bedrock for the artistes on stage but mainly the studio.This is something that cannot be understated ,especially since the music there started getting serious notice from the world the last 5 years. The producers were doing the same thing the previous years but nothing changed until recently, why do you think that is?. I'm not upset at your work It is said producers, most notably Tippy that should have made that known.
