One Of The Greatest Reggae Bands Of Our Time: Midnite!

Here is an interview with one of the greatest reggae bands period! Midnite hails from the beautiful island of St.Croix. They are the #1 band in the Virgin Islands. The interviewer gets a little flustered once Vaughn Benjamin addresses all peoples of the African continent & diaspora. I love this band wholeheartedly because their music touches my soul. This song that I included is called "New Life" & it's about the pride of becoming a father. The lyrics to their songs are always deep & reflective. Here's their bio from their website Midnite St. Croix Roots:

"Hailing from the Island of St Croix, Midnite is one of the most promising roots reggae bands of the millennium. They are vanguards of conscious reggae who represent the King's and Queen's music to the fullness of Jah. Midnite's profound and innovative lyrics are sincere and deeply rooted to present the other half of the story. Their cd recordings and live performances will have reggae and non-reggae listeners open to the messages they bring.

Lead singer Vaughn Benjamin's electrifying voice seems an amalgamation of many great voices in reggae-soulful, chanting, edgy. Vaughn's potent lyrical style and his brother Ron's exquisite production, arrangements, keyboard and bass musical directorship form the nucleus of this musical yet rootsy sound, which includes Christian Molina (drums), Edmund Fieulleteau (keyboards) and Edwin Byron (guitars). Midnite weaves the cultural lyrics of "old school" roots music with modern day experiences to create a unique listening encounter. Reggae - naked and raw is an apt description for Midnite's musical style, in which they forgo the frills of extensive remixes, overdubbing and other musical refinements."
