[REGGAE MUSIC] Anthony B, born Keith Blair, is a living personification of Africans' consciousness in Reggae. Through his songs he has influenced the political scene in Jamaica during elections. Like his hero, Peter Tosh, the most revolutionary of the Wailing Wailers, he is an uncompromising Pan Afrikanist, in the tradition of Marcus Mosiah Garvey—Jamaica's first national hero and the founder and leader of the largest Africans organization ever, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Africans Communities League. Growing up in Clarks Town in the Parish of Trelawny, his Revivalist grandmother and Seventh Day Adventist mother immersed him in the singing, call and response and clapping mechanics of rural Jamaica.EAnthony B will be performing along with Soul Majestic in Honor of Bob Marley Birthday Jam.ECome and celebrate the legacy of the Great Robert Nesta Marley, 'cuz you know that there'll be a natural mystic flowing all over the place. This show is definitely going to be one the most outstanding performances of conscious, spiritual and humanitarian messages of "One Love" that Maui will witness in quite a while. So check it out! Tickets: $20. Sunday After-Party at Hapa's, 9 p.m. [KIMBERLY L. WELCH]
