SUMMARY:Israel Vibration featuring Duane Stephenson & Roots Radics
DESCRIPTION:Israel Vibration\nFeaturing Duane Stephenson & Roots Radics \nShow Date\nSunday June 1\, 2025 \nIsrael Vibration\nA living lesson in fortitude\, the vocal trio of Cecil “Skeley” Spence\, Albert “Apple Gabriel” Craig\, and Lascelle “Wiss” Bulgin overcame adversity\, illness\, and poverty to become one of the finest roots groups in Jamaica’s history. All three had been afflicted by polio and first became acquainted\, albeit briefly\, at Kingston’s Mona Rehabilitation Clinic.\nThe three teens had individually all previously converted to rastafarianism\, now their shared faith and childhood experiences helped forge a strong friendship. They spent the next six years singing around Kingston for their suppers and by 1975\, Israel Vibration was a vocal force to be reckoned with. The group’s exquisite dread sound and militant cultural themes made an instant impression and the trio now found themselves on-stage opening for the likes of Bob Marley and Dennis Brown. \nThe trio’s deeply devotional songs\, cultural themes\, inspirational lyrics\, and original take on the roots style had struck a chord with reggae fans around the world. They relocated to New York City\, perhaps believing that the large immigrant community could sustain them\, or that America was now ready to embrace roots. But a few occasional live appearances aside\, the group swiftly disappeared from view. All three attempted solo careers\, but only Bulgin made it on to record; his Mr. Sunshine album paired him with the Freedom Fighters Band. \nIn 1997\, Apple Gabriel left the group to pursue a solo career\, releasing the album Another Moses in 1999. Skelly and Wiss continue to record albums and tour the world as Israel Vibration\, backed by longtime associates Roots Radics.In December 2014 they were reportedly recording a new album set for release in early 2015. The new album\, entitled “Play It Real” was released on 31 March 2015 via Utopia. On March 23rd\, 2020\, Albert “Apple Gabriel” co-founder and former member of the group died due to ‘compilation sickness’\, earlier reports indicated that Albert was not well for quite some time\, this was supposedly due to some of the polio infections left in his body. On a Facebook post on March 7\, 2020\, he had indicated that he had suffered a stroke. He died on March 23\, 2020. On August 26th\, 2022\, Cecil “Skelly” Spence died of lung cancer. \nDUANE STEPHENSON\nDuane Stephenson has distinguished himself as a respected singer and songwriter with a purity of heart and sound that can be felt from the first note of his melodic instrument. From the quality of his voice to his potent lyrics and memorable melodies\, Duane ably addresses a variety of issues\, ranging from powerful social commentary to romance. Duane’s work as a singer and songwriter are reflective of his early artistic exposure to the music industry veterans\, many of whom have provided guidance and inspiration along his path. \n\n\n\nWhat’s included\n\nThis is GA standing room show. We will have some seating sections set up throughout the venue available on a first come first serve basis. \nWe will have some covered raised tables available around the perimeter of the lawned area. \n\n\n\nWhat’s not included\n\nBeverage Concessions both Alcoholic and Non Alcoholic will be available throughout the show. \nFood will be available for purchase on site. The Pavilion Kitchen is open with a full menu of hot meals and snacks. Vegan/ Vegetarian options will be available. \n\n\n\nItinerary\n\nShow Details\n2:00 PM: Doors Open\n3:00 PM: Duane Stephenson\n4:00 PM: Israel Vibrations & Roots Radics featuring Duane Stephenson \nTimes subject to change. Any changes will be confirmed via email closer to the show date \n\n\n\nHighlights\n\nThis show is part of Anaina Hou Community Park’s “Concerts with a Cause” Series.
