Reggae Winston McAnuff: Electric Dread Reggae La Huit Productions Cat # LAH DVD 22 Price Code: U Number of Discs: 1 Amaray; Box Lot 25 Playable In All Regions Run Time: 52 min
NO CANADA SALES
Winston McAnuff was born in the hills of Jamaica in 1957, where reggae was ingrained in his life from an early age. Onstage, this pastor’s son—nicknamed “Electric Dread”—steps beyond his role as Rastafarian preacher, performing with a fiery spirit that is as distinctive as it is jovial. But where does his boundless energy come from after so many years of silence? In contrast to his stage charisma, on this DVD we share moments in an intimate setting. Against a neutral backdrop of a stage under construction, with guitar in hand, he recounts stories about Rasta culture. His words and prayers evoke poetry from far-off Jamaica, the land of his first musical inspiration and his first life-changing encounters. Even though this great island is far away, the ghosts of elders are ever-present. Electric Dread philosophizes… Featured Songs Time Is Running Out Hypocrites and Parasites Rock Soul Headcorner Stone Log On What a Man a Deal Wid Nostradamus The Bait Sort Me Out Peace Love is a Song I Sing “McAnuff has only brought out five albums in a 30-year career, but he is appreciated as one of Jamaica’s most audacious artists. He has not hesitated to use his singular voice and compositional skills to cross over from reggae into rock, funk, soul, and even Motown.” — Mondomix

Let Virginia show you how to incorporate cane technique and combinations into your bellydance performances to add a rich traditional element! Raks Al Asaya, Arabic for “cane dance,” originates in the Sa’id region located in the south of Egypt. Men and women alike dance with the cane, typically at celebrations and festivals. On this DVD, Virginia combines these folkloric steps with the feminine grace and flirtatiousness of bellydance.

The combination of superior performance, the ability to fly for extended periods of time, and its’ low operating costs have made the Stratofortress a valuable asset to the US Air Force. It has proven to be a formidable weapon in various conflicts for more than half a century, from the Cold War and Vietnam to the Gulf War.

The North American P-51 Mustang was one of the greatest warplanes of all time, as well as the best American fighter of World War II. It played a crucial role in the air war over Europe, escorting bombers of both the 8th & 15th Air Force deep into Germany and German-held Europe on precision daylight raids. The long-range capability of the Mustang, along with its high speed and great maneuverability, helped secure air superiority over the continent, and played a pivotal role in Allied victory.
