AFRICA BORNEO UNITED Live! Showcase @ Razz Ma Tazz

9pm-2am.
Tickets: RM35 + 1 drink + FREE CD !!
Dancehall is a genre of Jamaican popular music. A more sparse version of reggae it was also initially less political and religious than the roots style, which at the time was associated with the Rastafari movement, and which had dominated much of the 1970s. Today, this music style is a global phenomenon and musicians and artists from different backgrounds stand out in a unison voice, a language of positive vibrations throughout pop music culture. In South East Asia, one region stands out with a similar groove. It's Sabah, with the Sumazau - the dance & culture which unites the tribal people in a dance of life particularly in the upcoming Harvest Celebration, the annual month long celebration of life, culture & heritage.
A new groove, Sumazau HipHop, stands out as integral part of the urban lifestyle of the youth where a balance of the old and new is fused to ignite a sense of belonging which bridges the young with the older generations. This music, although a new style is much appreciated by purveyors of nu-music trends. Atama having successfully creating this style continues to excite the niche market segment with his illustrious concept of tribal hip hop much to the interest of a global World Music Community. Having been invited to represent Malaysia in an upcoming international hiphop dance championship - R16 HipHop Championship originating from Korea. Atama performs at Berjaya Times Square KL on 24th April for this inaugral event promising to wear a tribal outfit of his KadazanDusun heritage in a show live on 8tv. The debut of the world's first Sumazau HipHop artiste is much awaited by the music community in Peninsular Malaysia after having sold 30,000 units of My Tribal Roots back in 2005.
Even though criticized by some quarter in Sabah for his radical approach in music, Atama continues to create waves throughout the captive digital music community. In a breif media tour in KL last February, Atama had attracted a niche following of world hiphop fans. This was evident in the turnout of his live showcase at the Captain's Cabin that was attended by 800 music fans among which was David Carragain, French-UK Rapper and Senegalese Rapper King Lhota. The sell out show was evident that the rapper's fame is not only in his homegrown but also overseas.
King Lhota, BEST REGGAE DANCEHALL ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2010 AND BEST MALE ARTIST 2010 IN THE AFRICAN ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS IN MALAYSIA,the reggae dancehall rapper who is performing at French Embassies all over Asian extended an invitation to Atama to collaborate in an upcoming African-Asia HipHop Album to be released in France in 2011. In his current tour of Japan, Korea & Kuala Lumpur, King Lhota makes a breif visit to Brunei last weekend to perform at Jerudong Park Convention Center on his route to link up with Atama the Sumazau HipHop guru in Kota Kinabalu before flying out to Perth. Both artists share a common understanding of making music to empower the community through tough poetry and positive vibrations to keep their indigenous community happy regardless of life's shortcomings. Both artists are a huge inspiration to their younger fans respectively.
This friday, both African & Bornean Artists combine efforts to produce a live stage performance never been seen before in Kota Kinabalu. The showcase theme entitled AFRICA BORNEO UNITED is hoped to unify two continent in a presentation of solidarity through HipHop Music, one being Reggae DanceHall and the other SumazauHipHop. The idea of this special showcase was conceived backstage at Atama's showcase in KL. . The culminating of Sumazau of Borneo and the ReggaeDanceHall of Africa now it becomes a reality!
