The voice of the ancient mother , Vanessa Yolandi hails from the beautiful land of reggae, Jamaica, the jewel of the Caribbean. A near death experience tranformed this corporate queen into a rastafarian reggae soul song bird , Yolandi's songs are about healing and conciousness. Jamaicas music business, being male dominated has taken a turn in recent years from spiritually uplifting music from the greats such as Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Culture, Marcia Griffiths etc. to a more violent and explicit nature of dancehall which is disrespectful to women. Changing the negitive effect on the minds of people worlwide is one of the goal Yolandi has set out to achieve . Dancehall which is a part of Jamaicas musical journey and has its positive Yolandi agrees should be used to make the Jamaicans proud. Yolandi a lover of music and of life , unapoligetically declares music for upliftment and not destruction .
The social fabric of the troubled areas needs to be mended with songs of hope and not songs of glorification of poverty,violence and hopelessness, Yolandi is restoring and reviving the spirit of life, and this is her mission.
Jamaica has recently been in political derision and economic crisis,failing social reforms and the islands upsurge in violence has been a concern of many who love the magical island and her pecular people (the fastest man and woman on the planet). For Yolandi, her focus is to, through music, to once again remind her own people of there greatness and inturn share this same awakening to the people of the earth as she being multiracial knows we are all one people, red blood, people. She is new, fresh and innocent, her songs are unique and will creep into the depth of your soul.
Yolandi a poet, singer/songwriter Yoga/teacher student and mother of four is set to inspire with the power of word and sound, with songs of truth like" Babylon walls must crumble" a message for destroying corruption in all forms." Wake up my people", these words resonate the solutions to awakening to a higher conciousness, and" children are our future", reminding us we were all once little ones "pickinies" before we became great ones and children must be guided and protected. Her debut albulm is the agenda at this moment and is full of more stirring words of wisdom If you feel the truth and purity in YOLANDI embrace her songs and our one vision of peace as people of this earth, she askes you to share this wonderful journey with her, as we all in our own way assist in the creating of a new earth,Yolandi's music is sure to assist in fullfilling peace in life eternal for us all, oneness.
