About Me |
|
| The unique Edutainer and Philosopher... a Revolutionary in the RASTAFARI Livity.Started writing and chanting from an early age. Did my first poem, The Travelling Sun while in high school, and won an award for it. This was my journey into the world of self realization.
I have completed five albums my latest:
Revolution Chapter 1 was released March 29, 2007. The first song (Essence)on the album which is also releasesd as a single is very popular, and as was told is very 'catchy'. A video is in the works for this single. I have worked with various artistes, and had a successful tour with the grammy nominatd group Black Uhuru.I have published two books, one is a poetry book....poems from the '70s covering my time at STETHS to CAST (UTECH) and beyond. The book EYE PEN was well received in Jamaica and worldwide. Eye Pen is in schools throughout Jamaica....the youths and adults are in love with a particular poem, 'My Mother who Fathered Me'. Recently, I was told by a friend that her five year old nephew recited the poem at his school's banquet and concert. The audience was in total awe as most could to relate to the poem.On March 29, 2007, I launched my next book, Overstanding RASTAFAR: Jamaica's Gift to the World. Presently, the book, a labour of love which took five years to be completd is doing very well. It has been featured on all major networks in Jamaica, and is been embraced in North America with positive interest in Europe.
A two part interview by Mark Dawes of the Jamaica Gleaner was featurd on April 14, and 21, 2007 in the Gleaner. The response was tremendous in Jamaica and else where. My North American Agency was flooded with mail and calls.
Not to be out done, The Parliament appearance and presentation of the book to the Prime Minister, Opposition Leader and Member of Cabinets made history. This was the first time a RASTAFARIAN was invited and accepted at an official government meeting.
With acceptance by the people, I humbly embrace the future.This fall I will go on a College Tour throughout North America, to be folowed by appearances in Europe and the Caribbean.I and I envision a earth and government on the earth whereby mankind will not be harassed or interrogated by the challenge of evil and sin or death and destruction.HONOUR............YASUS AFARI |
