Vauman Jah (Reggae)
"Je peux aller tres
loin autant que Jah veut" - " I can go as far as Jah wants" Vauman Jah
That is the principle that this son of the western
African waters lives by. Vauman Jah is born to make music. In Africa he
is part of a respected group of veneered people called the "Hassinon"
meaning song makers. The Hassinon traditionally can make music on the
fly and craft rhythmic words out of any idea in order to entice the
people to pay attention to a specific message.
Just as many children of Africa, he had a difficult
childhood and saw first hand the harshness created by political turmoil
in his homeland.
He often wishes people could realize that life
is not as hard as they make it and that we all could live in harmony
and live a prosperous life together. in 1997 he founded a non-profit
non-political organization called M.I.C.R.O. (Interconfessional
Movement Against Repression and Oppression). This is a way for him
to lay his vision and dreams for all the people around the world
without a voice. "For all of you that
have so much to say but that have no voice, M.I.C.R.O. is your flag;
it is your voice" says Vauman Jah.
Music has become a sweet escapade from life's turmoil for Vauman.
With music just as the Hassinon he found a voice to entice people
into feeling his pain, listening to his words, and wanting to move
inward and outward to change the world.
At the early stage of his evolving musical carrier, he recorded an 8
title album with Iron Bender.
His new album is in the making as he signs with Atlanta's own Happy
Way Records.
