Reggae music has never stopped evolving but for millions of people from around the world it’s still defined by the songs of Bob Marley and the Wailers. It’s been their heartbeat rhythms that have inspired so much of what’s followed since, as evidenced by the enduring popularity of the “one-drop” reggae sound.....The history of the band during Marley’s lifetime is well known. Just to recap, their music has sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide. In England alone, they’ve notched up over twenty chart hits, including seven Top 10 entries. This was no accident. Apart from Marley, the Wailers have performed with international acts such as Sting, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, as well as reggae legends Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and Burning Spear. Their most recent collaborators include Kenny Chesney, Eve, Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. They’ve also completed innumerable tours over the years, playing to an estimated 24 million people across the globe, including groundbreaking performances in Africa and the Far East.....The anchor of the band is Aston “Family Man” Barrett, who in addition to being Marley’s most trusted lieutenant, played on countless other classic reggae hits throughout the seventies. The authenticity he brings to the Wailers’ sound is indisputable and yet today’s line-up combines old school know-how with lead vocals from one of Jamaica’s most exciting new singers.....Koolant joined the Wailers soon after his cameo appearance in the film Made In Jamaica. A solo track, Rat Race, was getting regular airplay and things were looking up for this young Rasta artist from St. Thomas, who’d already performed at East Fest and several other major stage shows in Jamaica. His first recording was Keep The Faith produced by Morgan Heritage, who included it on their 2002 album Family & Friends Vol. 3. By then, he’d gained valuable experience from entering national song competitions and was writing his own material, inspired by reggae’s golden era.....“As a youth coming up people always say, ‘How come you don’t listen to any new artists?’” he recalls. “They say I’m always listening to some Jacob Miller, Barrington Levy or Bob Marley. They were amazed I knew so many of those old songs but after I leave school I like to go amongst bigger people and so I just naturally gravitate towards vintage music. I like how it’s the backbone of what’s happening now too, because those old classics never die.”....Like Marley, Koolant spent his formative years in the Jamaican countryside. He was raised between Bath and Wilmington, some thirty miles outside Kingston. After singing in school he was inspired by Bushman, who lived nearby. Local fame beckoned but it’s Koolant’s dynamic performances with the Wailers that have reaped most acclaim to date.....“It’s been a wonderful experience, singing with the Wailers because so many of Bob Marley’s songs are still relevant to what’s happening right now. They are of the times,” he continues. “Bob Marley was a prophet, and it’s a honor to be part of that. I put my whole self into spreading that message, and it can only help my own development as an artist and as a songwriter.”....As enthusiastic audiences have already discovered, Koolant brings his own personal expression to Marley’s songs, revitalizing them for young and old alike. Yet there’s a great deal more to the Wailers than reliving the past. Apart from featuring on a forthcoming Wailers’ album studded with celebrity guest artists, Koolant sings lead vocals on the band’s two latest tracks – one a future lovers’ rock classic called Shining Star, and the other a heartfelt appeal – A Step For Mankind – made on behalf of the World Food Program, co-starring Duane Stephenson.....Both songs stand comparison with the band’s finest work from the past. The Wailers have succeeded in turning a fresh page and led by their charismatic new singer, they’re ready to make history once more.

Is like a heavy duty machine, you know. so is that we use it for."

  • buena vida..., HASTA LA…


    Buena Vibra, Buenas Tardes, Buena Vida.

    Nosotros Somos Ricardo Vázquez Y  Tonatiuh Valdez

    Somos los organizadores de un colectivo musical en pro de la ecología y el impulso de nuevas bandas quintanarroenses en busca de un foro para salir adelante.
    Hace 6 años se comenzó en la Ciudad de Bacalar un sueño llamado "BAKHA-ROOTS" que impulso a grandes bandas del genero Reggae, Ska y Surf, nacionales y estatales apadrinados por LA GANJA LEGACY en el primer festival y, I&I DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉRIDA el segundo festival, entre otras bandas locales, de importante talento sin reconocer, y a base de esfuerzo, y buscarle y tocarle en puertas logramos hoy en día hacer de este proyecto, este colectivo un evento impresionante, folklórico y distintivo de la hermosa Ciudad de Bacalar Quintana Roo, cuya historia data de más de 400 años de antigüedad, con su hermoso Fuerte De San Felipe, con 200 años de antigüedad y sede de la laguna más hermosa del mundo "la laguna de 7 colores".

    Pasando a lo importante, nos sentiríamos alegres, entusiasmados -y hablo por todas las bandas y fans de Quintana Roo- de que sean ustedes la imagen y el grupo principal de este año.

    Bakha-Roots, Es Un Colectivo Sin Ámbitos Gubernamentales, ni sentido polito, solo queremos que nos AYUDEN A CUIDAR EL MEDIO AMBIENTE Y QUE NUESTRO BACALAR SEA Y SIGA SIENDO EL ESPÍRITU CARIBEÑO, Y LA CUNA DE GRANDES BANDAS.

    Contamos con el patrocinio, de "CERVECERÍA CUAUHTÉMOC" "KISS FM 95.3 CHETUMAL" "COCA-COLA COMPAÑY" Y "TELCEL" Cada uno de estos patrocinadores nos ha brindado su apoyo en diferentes cuestiones de logística, como son: escenario, trasmisión del evento por radio e internet, audio, hospedaje comida y alimentación.

    La neta banda, todos en Bacalar, después de un sondeo decidimos que ustedes sean los padrinos de este año.

    Además de patrocinar su viaje de ida y regreso, les estaremos agradecidos si al día siguiente del evento nos acompañan en un tour por esta bella laguna de 7 colores, con sus 7 cenotes, los más impresionantes de México, conocieran las ruinas de IXCABAL la zona arqueológica más impresiónate y enorme descubierta hasta ahora, aquí en Bacalar.  Conozcan los ESTROMATOLITOS, (las primeras formaciones rocosas que albergan familias de microbios y crean oxígeno, padres de los árboles y pioneros de la oxigenación en el planeta) en el mundo solo tres lugares cuentan con estos ESTROMATOLITOS, Australia, Brasil y México.

    Quedo a sus órdenes para recibir sus requerimientos, más que nada banda, les deseamos que esto sea para ustedes unas merecidas vacaciones, en un maravilloso lugar nombrado por sus características como un: "PUEBLO MÁGICO",

    "BACALAR PUEBLO MÁGICO" LLENO DE CULTURA Y ARTE.

    Como nos somos una empresa, ni una asociación, sino un colectivo nacido de una buena platica entre amigos y músicos que quisimos materializar esa idea, y después de 6 años de error y prueba, al fin, vemos los resultados nacer como nace la planta de la semilla, y su presencia en nuestro evento, su evento, sería un orgasmo., ya que le darían animas a todas las bandas de Quintana Roo, que solo necesitan un empujón de ANTIDOPING!!

    ¡EL CARIBE LES LLAMA!

    Se despide de ustedes un servidor RICARDO VÁZQUEZ
    Y les manda un fuerte abrazo mi colaborador Tonatiuh Valdez, que ya está viendo lo de su lancha ecológica, para que se den la gran vida al día siguiente.


    Por que además de ser un grupo musical reconocido, sabemos que son personas como nosotros, que gustan de la tranquilidad, de un paso en lancha, nadar, estar tranquilos, sin preocupaciones, Comiendo un cebichito y una michelada alegre, como la gente.

    Les esperamos, agradeciendo su favorable respuesta.
