About Me |

Lazarus! Come Forth!..Lazo distinguishes himself as a singer, song writter, producer/arranger, and charismatic performer. His melodic compositions captivate... Words & Music...Lazo's distinctive sound rocked the Canadian music scene, woke people up from the cold Canadian winter and made them want to dance... The Toronto Star.Whether you follow Worldbeat or Reggae music, everyone has heard of the legends of those genres .. Bob Marley and the Wailers, Burning Spear , Peter Tosh, Black Uhuru, Third World, Maxi Priest come readily to mind. Well, Lazo has shared the stage with almost all of them.Honoured with awards from industry peers, Lazo was chosen as the Top Reggae Performer of the Year at the Internationally recognized Canadian Reggae Music Awards, and along with many Juno nominations-- the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy Award-- he garnered a Juno Award in 2000 for Best Reggae Recording for his ..Heart And Soul.. CD. The optimism shared from his beautiful composition, ..If Love Is On Your Side.. captured a Juno nomination as did another album ..Something Real.. in 1995. Hey, the guy..s just finished recording his 6th CD--The Time is Right. In fact, ..Impetus.. his sophomore CD was such a strong effort that it was the first independent album to chart on Vancouver's Z95.3 TOP 30 and was scooped up by the Washington DC based RAS Records, becoming the first Canadian artist to be signed to the label. Lazo..s music video, ..Crucial.., produced by Video Fact and RAS Records reached ..3 on the charts in Guyana, South America and received extensive play on CSN (Caribbean Satellite Network), as well rotating on America..s BET (Black Entertaiment Television).Lazo tours tirelessly throughout Canada, the United States, with occasional appearances in the Caribbean, and an eye to tackle Europe in 2007. His list of international festivals is ever growing, last year adding Brazil..s Salvadore Festival to his tour portfolio. He is such a favourite at London..s Sunfest Festival that he has performed there for 10 straight years, last year as headline performer, where he was nicknamed Mr.Sunfest. This charismatic artist who holds a degree in Political Science/History from the University of Toronto, against all odds left his small, beautiful island of Dominica, on a hot day in December only to arrive in Ottawa , Canada on a cold snow-stormy night and made a name for himself in the world. This mover and shaker plans to make a difference in the world, musically,socially and politically.For bookings, interviews or further information contact: E-mail:lazo@lazomusic.com (416) 554-4159 Visit Lazo..s website: www.lazomusic.com |

Motivated by self-interest and an insatiable appetite for wealth, it is thus evident that mechanisms must be installed to curb this destructive vice. It has been postulated that the most salient problem facing our universe today is the problem of over-population; in short, there is not enough natural resources to sustain a population which is growing exponentially. However, my questions remain: What about radically reforming and transforming society? What about a redistribution of wealth?»Watch For Lazo's new CD "The Time is Right" coming this Spring! ---------------------------------»Lazo recently launched his new CD entitled Congo Natty Dread in stores now! --------------------------------- »Lazo wins Canadian Juno award for Best Reggae Recording ---------------------------------»Top Reggae Performer Award at the annual Canadian Reggae Music Awards --------------------------------- Record Label: Y T Records Type of Label: Indie |
