IJAHMAN LEVI
Artist Info: Singer born as Trevor Sutherland in 1946. A couple songs were recorded with Madge, his second wife. He has eleven children. In his teens he did a recording for Stranger Cole, also a session singing a song to Chris Blackwell. In 1962 he recorded “Red Eyes People” for Duke Reid, what seems to be his first 7-inch release.
In 1963 he migrated to UK with his family. He changed his name to Ijahman during a time in prison from 1970 to 1972. His prison number was Two Double Six 701 what would be a title of one of his albums later. Since 1978 he calls himself Ijahman Levi, inspired by the Twelve Tribes Of Israel. He plays a ten string guitar what is a 12 string guizar with the first small E-string and the first small A-string removed. This became his special sound.
He had a promising start with some vocals on Rico´s “Africa” (on “Man From Wareika” album and also a single with further vocals) that led to a contract with Chris Blackwell for four singles. Instead of four singles these tracks were released as his debut album “Haile I Hymn”. Further five recorded songs then appeared as his second album on Island “Are We A Warrior”.
After the contract with Chris Blackwell ended, there was a legal battle about the rights to release under his name. Surprisingly Ijahman Levi somehow won. Since then he released exclusively his music on his own labels Jahmani and Treeroots.
A rare dub called “Whip That Tarantula” is released on the various artists compilation “Raiders Of The Lost Dub” (UK Island ILPS 9705, 1981, LP). In 1999 he played two previously unreleased tracks “Busy Body” and “Live Like A Star” at the 8th RAW Conference in San Jose.

ITALS
Artist Info: The Itals are one of the essential vocal groups of the seventies. At first they didn´t had in mind to built a group. Their first single has Keith Porter and Ronnie Davis on vocals. Both had a solo singing career running and they had recorded together as singers of the Westmorlites. Lloyd Ricketts joinded the duo circa 1976 to record a couple further singles like “Time Will Tell”, “Don´t Wake The Lion” and “Brutal” (all on Lloyd Campbell´s Spiderman label), “Temptation” on JA Man, “Jah Glory” on Top and “Beware” on Joe Frazier and in 1983 a 12-inch of “Jah Glory” and “In Deh”. After the release of their 1986 EP Lloyd Rickets was replaced by David Isaacs. From the late 80ies there is a 12-inch “What About me” and 7-inch “Want It Want It” (On Top). In 1998 Ronnie Davis was replaced by Kada Porter, the first female voice of The Itals. The Itals´ music can described best as psalms, music for the conscious soul.
