TIFA MAKES POSITIVE 'STATEMENT' IN THE T.O.

March 23, 2009, Kingston, Jamaica:- Fast rising Dancehall sensation Latifa Brown, more popularly know as TIFA, has left quite an impression on dancehall enthusiasts in Canada.

After recently performing at Statement, a charity event recently held in Toronto, Canada, with part proceeds in aid of the Bustamante Children’s Hospital, Tifa was requested to do several interviews for local radio stations including, CHRY 105.5 fm, as well as, interviews for Lyric DVD Magazine, L3 Magazine, Elite Magazine and, http://lovethevibes.com/

Tifa gave a stellar performance to her Canadian fans, as she belted out crowd favourites at the show including “Crawny Gal” and “Bottom of the Barrel,” which fans were able to sing line by line.

Spell It Out and Tick It Like A Clock
Tifa has recently released two blazing tracks that are currently receiving high rotation across the local airwaves. “Spell It Out” is an uptempo dancehall track produced by Ward 21, in which Tifa showcases her lyrical talents and versatility in a style never heard before on the dancehall scene. Fans can look out for the video for this hot single in April 09.

“With the recent bans from the Broadcast Commission, artists now have to become more creative with their material. “Spell It Out” is a song which truly shows my versatility and talent as a writer,” stated Tifa.

Tifa’s “Tick It Like A Clock” is featured on Stephen Mcgreggor’s latest project, the Boasty Riddim. The riddim also includes artists such as, Beenie Man, Laden, Vybz Kartel, Elephant Man and more. Tifa has also recently released “God Blessed” produced by Equiknoxx, which is already receiving rave reviews in both print and electronic media.

Tifa Wins RETV MVP Award for Best Music Video (Female)
Tifa wins big at the first Annual RETV MVP (Music Video Pic) Awards. Tifa’s chart topping music video for her hit single “Bottom of the Barrel” has won the award for Best Music Video (Female) - the video was directed by Dexter ‘3D’ Pottinger. The winners were announced on RETV on Saturday, March 21, 2009.

Touch Di Road
Tifa is certainly making the rounds across the island promoting her music and also endorsing various causes. She recently completed the all-island RJR Cross Country Invasion, and is now making her way to several schools promoting Abstinence Awareness on the RETV School Tour, which kicked off last week at the Edith Dalton James High School. Tifa was also on board the Digi Road Show, which also features Christopher Martin. Her next International performance will be in Orlando on April 4, 2009.

But Vinyl Still Vital, says the NY Times

In Austin, Vinyl Is Still Vital
Ben Sklar for The New York Times

Published: March 8, 2009


STANDING on the wrong side of "full capacity" didn't discourage the dozens
of
Andrew Bird fans gathered outside the singer's show at Waterloo Records in
Austin last month.

Clustered around doors opened onto the parking lot, they listened as Mr.
Bird's
voice soared over his signature string-enhanced compositions. Some were
blissed
out, eyes closed, while others craned to see past the open doors; one woman
pressed a camera phone between posters of Cruiserweight and Conor Oberst,
straining for a good shot.

As the annual South by Southwest festival takes over Austin - this year,
from
March 13 to 22 - music lovers will flock to the city, partly to take in all
that
live music, but also to indulge in that increasingly rare sight: stores that
still sell records.

It's this synergistic relationship between Austin's record dealers and the
dedicated hordes still willing to pay for limited-edition vinyl that makes
the
city a destination for record lovers.

"Many years of great live music and clubs have created an atmosphere of
musical
awareness that interprets into music collecting in many ways," said Doug
Hanners, creator of the Austin Record Convention (www.austinrecords.com), a
twice annual, vinyl-centric event that claims to be the largest sale of
recorded
music in the country. "Many of the musicians are also collectors, also work
at
record stores."

Waterloo Records and Video (600A North Lamar Street; 512-474-2500;
www.waterloorecords.com) is the flagship of Austin's record-collecting
culture.
The store's aisles overflow with treasures both timely (Sigur Ros's "Med sud
i
eyrum vid spilum endalaust," $18.99), and obscure ("Sleep's Holy Mountain"
on
sought-after picture disc, $27.99).

Across the river in South Austin, End of an Ear (2209 South First Street;
512-462-6008; www.endofanear.com) features a healthy mix of limited-edition
vinyl and used classics - as well as live performances. The store's two
owners,
Dan Plunkett and Blake Carlisle, said their 2009 festival lineup is as
packed as
any previous year's.

At Sound On Sound (106 East North Loop Boulevard.; 512-371-9980;
www.soundonsoundrecords.com) a large selection of CD's is supplemented by a
record selection that emphasizes experimental sounds like the music of the
acid-folk pioneer Karen Dalton.

>From Sound On Sound, a 10-minute drive through the Hyde Park neighborhood
brings
you to Antone's Record Shop (2928 Guadalupe Street; 512-322-0660;
www.antonesrecordshop.com), situated on the University of Texas's main drag.

"We're actually the only record store still standing in the campus area,"
noted
Mike Buck, a co-owner of the store. "The place has always operated on a
shoestring. I think our strength is vinyl, and a faithful clientele."

Opened in 1987 by the late Austin music impresario Clifford Antone, the
store
specializes in roots music and boasts a strong selection of jazz. Willie
Nelson
records command a whole row and a half, while Cannonball Adderley's
hard-to-find
LP "Alabama/Africa" was recently on sale for a very reasonable $9.99.

At Cheapo Discs (914 North Lamar Street; 512-477-4499; www.cheapotexas.com),
vast quantities of used music and great finds abound: $12.93 will buy you a
vinyl copy of the "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" and the new EP by the Austin
soul
screamer Black Joe Lewis. And, if you're lucky, you might stumble into a
live
performance by a local band like Bear and the Essentials.

The Power of the 'Fruit': Apple is THE force in music

Apple: The traditional labels — and everyone else — keep trying, but no one has dented iTunes’ supremacy. In 2008, Apple surpassed Wal-Mart as the world’s largest music retailer.
Warner Music Group: Digital sales were up 39%, thanks in part to a ramped-up MP3 effort in 2008. WMG also partnered with Nokia on an all-access music channel that lives on your phone.
Imeem: After buying up Anywhere.fm and Snocap, Imeem found itself one of the top social networks of 2008, according to Nielsen.
Pandora: The music-discovery machine of the 21st century has taken the serendipity out of finding new music that fits your tastes. Just one step ahead of competitor Last.fm.
Last.fm: Later to the party than Pandora, but a growing force that includes info on concerts and artists, plus video.
South by Southwest: The Austin-based music-and-media festival attracts more than 1,800 acts and 150,000 attendees. Despite a grassroots approach, a standout showing can make an artist.
MTV Music Group: A slew of new digital initiatives are one part of president Van Toffler’s remaking. Another: the $175 million purchase of Rock Band game maker Harmonix.
Radiohead: The band that spawned direct-to-fans releases made two songs available for remix — and let users vote for the winner on its site. Amateurs and professionals alike joined in.
Live Nation: The concert promoter continued to sign A-list artists to distribution deals and further increased its live-events footprint.
Pitchfork Media: The popular and wildly influential music blog recently added video and inked a deal with Fader Media for integrated advertising and sponsorship across all platforms.

Right on target

As much as I think "Rampin' Shop" "Hundred Stab" and others of that ilk are garbnage, I have to agree withthe following:


“Censorship in Paradise”
Statement
by
William O’Shaughnessy
President, Whitney Media
Editorial Director, WVOX and WVIP


The new “rules” announced on Saturday by the Jamaican Broadcast Commission to ban songs and music videos in that magnificent island nation is ill-advised. And dangerous.
Prime Minister Bruce Golding is a man of great intelligence and character who does not need to be reminded about the wisdom of our First Amendment which has served America so well for so many years. It is thus to be urgently hoped th at the Prime Minister will “crack down” on his own government regulators who are trying to stifle free expression.
The broadcasters of Jamaica are “permittees” and “trustees,” with a fiduciary relationship to the airwaves which rightly and properly belong to the people of their country. Many, most of them, believe that a radio station achieves its highest calling when it resembles a platform, a soapbox.
Someone has to tell the Jamaican Broadcast Commission in no uncertain terms that the popular songs of the day deserve protection – no matter how gross, raucous, raunchy, vulgar, outrageous or “explicit.”
Like we said in the attached piece: Some of it ain’t so pretty … but all of it needs to be protected.
A song is like an eyewitness report. The writers of those songs write of the daily life in Jamaica, the daily passions of their countrymen, the milieu in which they live. They write in the vernacular and with the currency of the day.
In any society there’s a fine line of taste that constantly changes. The populace redraws it every season and government can’t stop it.
People have been making songs to reflect their environment since the beginning of time.
Jamaica has given wonderful gifts to the world from the collective genius of Bob Marley, Byron Lee, Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tesh, Desmond Dekker and Bunny Wailer. They wrote and sang in the vernacular and with the currency of their day.
Nothing “encourages” people to sin or change history. Songs are signs, banners: they do not make history.
Restricting language is only possible in a totalitarian atmosphere. It was possible in Germany, in Bulgaria, in Cuba. It is possible where only one mode of communication dominates. So, no, you can’t sing an off-color song in Bulgaria. But even without such songs, they have drunkenness, adultery and suicide – but not on the radio.
Apparently the Jamaican Broadcast Commission wants a world that is uncomplicated, without pain for their children, not obscene, not profane. But it is a great mistake to blame songwriters, musical performers and broadcasters for the coarsening of the culture which is occurring worldwide.
John Updike writes that “popular” composers, from generation to generation, “if they do not teach us how to love, do lend our romances a certain accent and give our courting rites and their milieu … a background of communal experience.”

It should never be left to government to decide what is “worthy” or meritorious, even one as wise and prescient as the one presided over by Prime Minister Golding who, after only one year, seems so well begun in the hearts of his countrymen and in the eyes of the world. Nor should it be the province of a regulatory authority to decide what isnot.
Let the people of Jamaica exercise the only permissible form of censorship – by tuning out offensive material.
Jamaica should get out of the business of censorship and stick to the vital business of hospitality and tourism for which it is so justly renown.
