Full Description
In the crowded reggae scene, Matisyahu literally stands out like no
other. Beyond his versatile voice, which ranges from sweet and fluid to
rough and rugged, he's a very unexpected face, standing over six feet
tall, wearing the traditional garb of a Hasidic Jew. With his long
beard and black hat, this talented lyricist, MC, and beatboxer is a
singular performer whose distinctive power, poetry, and skills unify
the inspirations he found in Bob Marley, hiphop, and his own cultural
influences.
Live at Stubb's presents this remarkable performer's new artistic
fusion, rocking a sold-out crowd in one of America's most music-hungry
cities. Combining the sounds of Bob Marley and Shlomo Carlebach, yet
remaining wholly original, Matisyahu's performance is an uplifting,
powerful experience for all in his presence. Even the most pessimistic
in his audience is inspired by his ability to so honestly convey such a
delicate, topic as faith/spirituality. It is his dedication to his
belief and openness to others that compels one to respect his artistry
and message. It's in that fleeting moment when our skepticism melts and
our souls open up, that Matisyahu enters with his booming sound of
faith. This live CD, released in April, 2005, offers you the chance to
be front row at one his past sold out shows. This album features mostly
songs from the original album, but offers 4 brand new ones as well.
This album is the best way to hear Matisyahu, the way he was meant to
be heard. Recorded live in Austin, Texas - 2/19/05.
