About Taj Weekes & Adowa
The three albums released over the past eight years by Taj Weekes on his Jatta Records label have established the St. Lucia born Rastafarian reggae artist as a compelling singer/songwriter/guitarist who eschews passing trends and disposable beats, favoring provocative messages set to the multi-textured rhythms intricately crafted by his pan-Caribbean band Adowa. �Hope & Doubt�, released in 2005, introduced Taj Weekes & Adowa�s distinctive musical brand, an amalgam of calypso, country and western, jazz, blues, and rock strains, anchored in skanking reggae guitars and drum and bass driven one drop rhythms. Their sophomore album �Deidem�, released in 2008, was honored as the Best Reggae Album at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards. Their 2010 release, �A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen�, which pays homage Hurricane Katrina survivors, ranked among many critics best-of lists for that year.
