Sons of Mystro Continued from pg. 17
Winners of Best Emerging Artist under 21 at IRAWMA (International Reggae and World Music Awards).
Sons of Mystro is known for their clever and
unique covers that are woven into their original compositions.
Brothers Malcolm and Umoja were born in South Florida to a Jamaican father and Barbadian mother. They learned to play violin
through South Florida’s public school system. While most of their influences are American pop acts, they also have an appreciation for
the music of Dennis Brown, Barrington Levy and Half Pint. Other influences include Samvel
Yervinyan, and Sayaka Katsuki, violinist with
Yanni, and the late, great, Jascha Heifetz who was one of the world’s greatest violinist.
Sons of Mystro’s biggest inspiration and mentors, however, is Black Violin, an American hip-hop duo.
“They play different genres on the violin. It opened our eyes that, ‘hey, we can do this’,”
said Malcolm. Umoja agreed. He said they brought their feel to Reggae Strings while “keeping the essence of the original melodies.”
Since forming as a group in 2010, Sons of Mystro has performed at a variety of events
including playing NBA champions Miami Heat’s theme song, “Back in Black” (originally
recorded by AC/DC) during seven of the team’s games, the Keys to The City Ceremonies, and the ESPN/BCS Championship Party.
They opened for The Fray at Sunfest 2016 (Florida’s biggest music festival) and performed
at the annual Jazz in the Gardens as part of a stellar line-up that included Fantasia, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and Earth, Wind & Fire.
Reflecting on their Caribbean roots, Sons of Mystro has played, The Grace Jamaican Jerk
Festival, Legends Easter Fest, One Love Reggae Fest, Reggae Dancehall Awards, and
graced the same stage with reggae and
dancehall veterans such as Marcia Griffiths,
John Holt, Ken Boothe, Dobby Dobson,
