Everybody is talkin bout Peter Fox and his new Album Stadtaffe but the german Album of the year comes from the other side of the republic and it's made by Munichs UWE KAA. Founding member of the Roots Rockers Soundsystem, with Big Tunes in his program like Tanzen und Schreien, Dancehall Story and Wunderschön.



Now he's comin out with his first solo Album "Endlich Single" where he is backed by the Oneness Band, the Scrucialists and gettin remixed by Londons Jstar.

Alton Ellis passes away
Sad news original from Trojan Records 11.10.2008



Today the music world mourns the passing of Reggae legend Mr. Rocksteady Alton Ellis, who passed away last night after a long struggle against the effects of lymphatic cancer.

As recently reported, Alton had been admitted into hospital after collapsing at a show at London’s 100 Club in August and sadly, despite intensive care, was never able to regain his health.

His talent and influence was immense and his loss will be felt by all those who ever had the pleasure of his company. A kind and modest man, he always had time for his family, friends and fans, and his loss is a terrible blow not only to Jamaican music, but to the world at large.

- Real world -

Menschen im Wind (3): Fluchtpunkt Tarifa

Ein Film von Lutz Gregor

Sorry this is in german only.


Tarifa in Spanien, am südlichsten Zipfel Europas, wird auch die Hauptstadt des Windes genannt. Afrika ist hier zum Greifen nah, nur wenige Kilometer sind es nach Marokko. Tausende Immigranten kommen von Tanger mit kleinen Fischerbooten illegal über das Meer nach Tarifa - wenn der Wind ihnen günstig ist.
