BAMP Project Presents The Matisyahu Hawaiian Island Tour
HONOLULU -- BAMP Project, Hawaii's premiere concert production company presents Matisyahu live in the Hawaiian Islands. Few
artists make an impact as complete as the one Matisyahu made with his
Top 40 hit “King Without a Crown,” a true original, the song
announced—a Hasidic Jewish musician from New York City singing reggae
songs about his religious devotion. Fans responded to this
one-of-a-kind voice, driving Youth, Matisyahu’s Grammy-nominated 2006
studio disc, to the top spot on Billboard’s reggae albums chart. That
album, as well as Matisyahu’s previous recording "Live at Stubb’s,"
went Gold.
His
new album, "Light," which debuted in the top 20 on the Billboard
charts, is out now on Epic Records. Produced by David Kahne (Paul
McCartney, Regina Spektor, Sublime), Matis recorded the album in
Brooklyn, NY and Jamaica and got an assist from several guests Stephen
McGregor, Sly & Robbie, members of Fyre Dept. and Fishbone, and
others. The result is a bold new direction for an artist who has
transcended cultures and genres.
