Pics from Jah Cure's Universal Cure album launch!

On the night of Tuesday, April 7th at the prestigious Cable & Wireless Golf Club, Jah Cure had his official album launch for The Universal Cure. It is the first album for the Sobe Entertainment /Danger Zone Music Group artist since his release from prison two years ago.

The event was catered by renowned decorator/caterer Jacqui Tyson. Drink specials included The Universal Cure and Call On Me drink mixes.

And making sure the music was just right were Jigsy and Penny Bling of Danger Zone Sound System.

So here's the breakdown of the night's events.

* Cure made his grand entrance with his entourage which included Sobe/DGMG CEO/manager Delmar Drummond, CEO Cecile Barker and their international guests

* Cure greeted guests

*Dr. Sonjah Stanley-Niaah, author and lecturer in Cultural Studies at UWI, welcomed everyone to an amazing evening.

*Jah Cure made a presentation of the The Universal Cure album to Chevaughn Harris of the National Library, as is customary that all works, written and oral, be recorded in Jamaica’s national library.

*Dr. Stanley-Niaah then delivered the keynote address. Centering on a paper she did on the topic ‘Reflection from the Margin: Jah Cure, Rastafari and the new leadership through stardom’, Dr. Stanley-Niaah said Jah Cure was considered one of Reggae’s High Priests.She said while incarcerated, Jah Cure was not a voiceless prisoner, he sang to rehabilitate himself, both for his own benefit and that of his fans. She said Jah Cure was among greats like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Buju Banton, Garnet Silk, Capleton and Luciano who were leaders in the Rastafarian faith using music to spread the message to the world.




* Musicologist Dennis Howard put Jah Cure under the spotlight live on stage, posing questions that many have been asking, looking at Jah Cure’s journey and struggles to his perceived lack of powerful songs as a free man compared to when he was incarcerated.

*Next was the world premiere of the music video of the lead song from the album, "Call On Me" featuring the talented Phyllisia, and directed by RHONA FOX!
