Israel Vibration – Reggae in Holyland - WNRD 2116
"It was a night of unforgettable inspiration for thousands of reggae fans, when Israel Vibration, backed by the Roots Radics, appeared at the annual beachfront reggae festival at Ahziv, Israel.
This "Reggaementary" is the first DVD available on this inspirational group and is an extraordinary document about their first tour in Israel. The music is recorded "live" from their three shows and features 12 crucial songs.
Original footage of the visit includes a unique film of the trio in Jerusalem, the river Jordan and the Wailing Wall.
Israel Vibration (Apple, Skelly and Wiss) met as children in the Mona Polio Rehabilitation Centre in Jamaica. After discovering the path of Jah they found spirtual strength in Rastafari.
The documentary includes open-hearted interviews that provide a passionate insight into their lives and captures the spiritual energy of three inspirational people: Israel Vibration...It was a night of unforgettable inspiration for thousands of reggae fans, when Israel Vibration, backed by the Roots Radics, appeared at the annual beachfront reggae festival at Ahziv, Israel."
Broadly based aroun the visit to Israel and the concert but there is much more to this. As a documentary about the individuals and the spirituality surrounding the visit, and the music itself. The three guys talk about how them met at a Polio rehab centre, how they discovered and embraced Rasta, and nothing will stray them from this path. There is concert footage as well as shots of Israel, and the guys on walkabout around the town, and their interaction with the people, ranging from curiousity to religious oneness.
The local footage contains Jerusalem, canoing down the River Jordan, the Wailing Wall and an Ethiopian Church.
Musically Vibration are a three piece male vocal outfit, they probably aren't the best or most well known and accomplished, and their songwriting is not the most original, but together there is a unity and strength, a commitment to the cause, a passion, a humour, a bond and a closeness that shines through. The songs are all based around their beliefs, struggles and ideology and the three part harmony, the call and sesponse is best suited to this, and I just love this kind of sweet stuff.
The DVD is enhanced by 4 wonderful Bonus Videos – Hard Road, Living in the hood, Feelin Irie and Rudeboy Shufflin. Four great songs all containing good images, each having a storyline and great images.
