Yet it labors under an almost unbearable burden -- his father's massive legacy. How does one break from a tradition when it's part of the family inheritance?

The record opens with an outsized spectacle. A Rastafarian royal drum booms, Bunny Wailer, Haile Selassie, and Marcus Garvey issue urgent calls, and Wagnerian strings blast while the 27-year-old Marley evokes his own generation's uprising: "Searching for the sign, and the sign is us / Searching for the truth, all you find is us." The inescapable title track is built from an Ini Kamoze/Sly and Robbie riddim made after Bob's death, and it succinctly revisits the themes of Damian's 1999 breakthrough, "More Justice": "To see the sufferation sick me / Dem suit nuh fit me." Unlike his tenement-yard-raised father, the youngest Marley is an Uptown rebel with sympathies for the downtrodden, a Che Guevara for a Viacom world if he wants to be.

Or perhaps he is just the next global pop hero, a phenomenon his father made possible. Damian continues to re-version the Wailers' catalog with half-brother Stephen on "Move!," a surprisingly solid update of "Exodus," and the samba-ized "Pimpa's Paradise." He has other models, too. The ska-flavored "All Night" nods to crossover king Shaggy. With Eek-A-Mouse and Bounty Killer aboard, "Khaki Suit" rewinds late-'70s/early-'80s Channel One dancehall. In the bloodline-roots style of the Melody Makers or Morgan Heritage, "We're Gonna Make It" throws a socially conscious party -- and just in time, considering that Jamaica's fickle winds are again favoring the tradition of I Wayne over Elephant Man. But the neo-ragga pop of "Hey Girl" cools Damian's characteristic exuberance into the bland efficiency of a Rihanna or Rupee.

In a 21st-century world of reggae no longer dominated by one voice, versatility may be a virtue. But when Nas effortlessly steals "Road to Zion," it's clear that Damian doesn't yet possess his father's force of personality. He sounds more in his element on "There for You," a sweet, understated affirmation of familial love. //Welcome to Jamrock// does not herald a new generation's Athenian arrival. Yet, only from a Marley might we expect such an achievement, when a very good album is enough.

** London’s Calling  ** With the 2012 Olympic games being held in London, England, Culture Clash recently seized the opportunity to spread the word about diversity in the British music scene. London’s Calling is a totally new record funded by The Arts Council thats goal is to publicize multi-cultural music in the UK. This album consists of famous songs covered by London-based, multi-cultural bands and musicians of the UK capital. It was created to call into question the Anglo-centric supremacy in British music, seeing as more than thirty percent of London’s population is actually born elsewhere. Also make sure to check out the impending debut album Ethiopia Super Krar of Ethiopian band Krar Collective, which will be featured on London’s Calling. I think this article is important because people should listen more to music from other cultures, and thanks to Culture Clash, now we will!

=Delhi’s mega metal date= Megadeth, Anoushka Shankar, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Parikrama, Kaiserdisco, and Indian Ocean will all be on the same stage in Delhi for the NH7 Weekender festival, which kicks off on the 13-14 of October at the Buddh International Circuit, then traveling to Pune from the 2-4 of November, and then to Bangalore on the 15-16 of December. The artists listed above will be joined by multiple other artists. I don't know who half of them are, though. One of the only American bands in this celebration is Megadeth. I think that this is important because it is important to try many kinds of music so you can find one you like to listen to, and you can experiment how one song is deferent from another, etc. :)

My article is about an African Singer named Alhousseini Anivolla. His Music looks into the traditional music of where he lives. Alhousseini released his debut album on August 13 2012 called. Anewal/The Walking Man. This album was created to bring out the spirit of desert blues. The desert blues means West African music combining with African-American and African pop music.. I think this is a good article because I don’t know much about recent African music and would like to know more.

Lapiro de Mbanga

Lapiro de Mbanga is a singer from Cameroon that was released from prison in Douala on Friday, April 8th 2011. He had been in prison for three years under harsh conditions because he composed a song titled 'Constipated Constitution' where he criticized president Paul Biya. His songs caused people to rebel. The Cameroon authorities blamed him for these events and made false charges against him, thats why he was in prison for three years. He has been granted asylum in the USA and just moved here with his family on September 13th 2012. Here is an example of one of the songs he sang. If you scroll down a little bit you can listen to the song and if if you scroll up a little you can read the articles and watch his interview. [] I think his story is important because it shows that not all countries have freedom of speech like in the USA and I think that is one of the reasons that the USA granted him asylum.

= Sauti Soul =

=== There is a pop and traditional Kenyan band called Sauti Sol. Sauti Sol is a young group of four from Nairobi, Kenya. The band started out in 2005 and rehearsed and wrote songs for three years before releasing their first album called 'Mwanzo.' These young guns gradually climbed the charts in Kenyan music until they became the best band in all of Kenya. I think that it's important because this band tries to make a good impact on the youth of Nairobi. === -Jake Luckangelo http://www.npr.org/2012/09/08/160754266/sauti-sol-native-sons-sing-straight-to-kenyas-youth

Jake Shulman-Ment Releases Debut Album

Jake Shulman-Ment, an American violinist, released his debut album which is a combination of his compositions and a selection of traditional tunes with leading European artists. Since he was fourteen he has been performing. I think this is great because it's introducing more people to classical music. This widens the range of music people know. This is also great because he now has a carrer to look forward to in musical arts that really make your knowledge of things like the old ages grow.

__** Pussy Riot: New Single and News **__ The russian feminist punk rock "Pussy Riot," released a new single recently. It was called "Putin Zazhigaet Kostry," which translates in English to "Putin Lights Up the Fires." The lyrics reference the prison sentences they were recently given. Now for a little background on Pussy Riot. As I said before they are a feminist punk rock band. They music is very "edgy" and related to politics . They usually have concerts in well known or popular locations in Russia, mainly Moscow. Their most known performance was at Cathedral of Christ the Savior. They were arrested for that performance. The Russian government charged them with " hooliganism ." They were given a 2 year jail sentence, which is being protested to this day. Even though they are in a very hard situation, they continue to release music. -Noah BrownSource: http://www.worldmusic.net/news/news/2012-08-30/pussy-riot-new-single-news/ KOLKATA
