Info for Time Is Now
With his first album „Time is Now“, Jah Legacy with his unique and attractive lead vocals, offers a tasty hotchpotch between reggae, soul, blues, rock and jazz0... To be discovered with eyes closed and an open heart!
Between strength and softness, charisma and modesty, good humor and determination, this album is clearly the image of the quartet. Literally, Jah Legacy means the legacy of Jah. This legacy represents life, feelings, love, nature, what we have received and what we leave to the future generations ... So many themes that inspire the four musicians based in the Raphaëlois sun. Jah Legacy is the fruit of a beautiful story of friendship ... Indeed, the founders, Manu (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Charley (lead guitar, backing vocals) know each other from their childhood and grew up in the same neighborhood. So naturally the group’s history has been built over the years. Jah Legacy has always evolved, searching the formula and music that fits them best. This, since 2013, with the arrival of Julien on drums and backing vocals and Laurence on bass! From jazz to rock, through soul and the blues, everyone brings their influences which are cleverly interwoven in to what unites them all: reggae!
They made the choice to offer a unique combination to 4, to musical dynamic that showcases the singer's voice. With over 150 concerts to its credit, the band distills its energy and unifying message on the roads of France and Europe (Italy, England). Jah Legacy goes to meet a growing intergenerational public, appearing with such prestigious artists as The Wailers, Groundation, LKJ, Faada Freddy ... or at festivals and theaters (Festival of Néoules, Festijam, Sound of Sunset Festival ...). After some experiences in the studio and the EP "Inner Revolution" (2015), which has captivated the public and critics ("Even on an EP Jah Legacy manages to deliver a varied palette. The balad Try and the very heavy Faya & Straw are the perfect examples. [...] A reggae that strikes without getting hurt! "Reggae.fr, April 2015), the quartet continues its journey!
„Time is Now“ (literally, "the time has come"), an evocative title for a first album, because Jah Legacy, strengthened by their experiences and maturity, delivers through this album, the fruit of their tenacity and meticulous work. The original and smooth voice of Manu, is highlighted by male choruses, the reminding us of Jamaica vocal trios of the 60’s and 70’s. The bass / drums duo makes us sway and bend while the lead guitar bewitches us and is totally charming. We are agreeably surprised by all the pieces, which, around a solid reggae base, offer a different universe and a particular color. We are carried away by a sunny jazzy ( "Daddy") or by a passionate melancholy ride ( "I Miss U"), through titles to tones of soul, jazz and even hip hop ( "Take Over")!
