QUEEN IFRICA SHOWS STEELE NUFF LOVE AT TORONTO’S MOTHER’S
DAY CONCERT
Staying true to her belief of unity and togetherness, Queen Ifrica,
affectionately called the Fiya Mumma invaded the stage
at the Sound Academy, formerly the Docks,
and for approximately 90 minutes engulfed and enlightened her fans in
Toronto. The queen could do no wrong with songs such
as Daddy, Na Rub, and Below
the Waist. The massive crowd wanted to hear more and more from
the Queen.
Many in the audience had wondered if they would get the opportunity to see Queen and Steele perform there hit single New World(Remix), and for all in attendance that special highlight came when Ifrica invited the Canadian reggae sensation to join her on stage. Together they belted the lyrics of their MOBS/Flames produced single. This was the first time they had performed the song together and the energy from both artists was tremendous.
New World (Remix) clearly represents one of Steele’s most popular songs in Jamaica, with his reproduction of Bob Marley’s Slave Driver just as potent. New World has enjoyed good rotation from both radio and television, with the music video reaching the number 4 spot on the RETV charts.
Steele says, “receiving the phone call from Queen was a true blessing. So often combination recordings are done, but due to artist scheduling they never get the opportunity to perform the song. Queen is a true sista and that’s why the world embraces her the way they do. She, Tony Rebel, Briggie and the rest of the Flames family have shown me nothing but love from the start, and that is why my label MOBS Production and myself are always ready to embrace them”.
Steele plans to be back in Jamaica soon to shoot the music video for his latest recording Keep Holding On, produced by the Kataly’s Crew. For all info on Steele please visit www.myspace.com/steelemusic or www.steelemusic.net.
Another standout performance on the mother’s day concert was delivered by songstress Etana. The anticipation grew for her first solo performance in Toronto and for sure she did not disappoint. With a vocal range that surpasses just one genre of music, Etana made her mark with the Toronto audience with songs like Roots, Money and Wrong Address, and for sure it won’t be long before this sista will be back in Canada.

STEELE SET TO IGNITE RUSEA’S OLD STUDENTS ASSOCIATION GALA
“Being born in the small town of Lucea, and spending two years of
my high school life as a student of the institution where most of us in
that town aspired to attend, really makes this performance very special
to me,” says, Steele. “It’s especially gratifying to
know that most of the proceeds from the gala will go directly to help
maintain a school that has been around long before my existence. Rusea’s
has stood up to the test of time, going through different transitions
while still paving the way for many great achievers in our society, therefore
I am honored to make this contribution”.
The Toronto chapter of the Rusea’s Old Students Association has been staging this function to rave revues for a number of years, and this year they’ll celebrate there twentieth anniversary. “We’re very excited to have Steele on board” say’s Mrs. Alene Chin of the organizing committee. “Steele has continued to maintain his high level, not only has a singer/songwriter but also as a dynamic performer”.
Steele most recently offered a free download of his MOBS produced Breakfast in Bed, which has already started to create a buzz in Canada and for sure will spread globally. Keep holding on, produced by the Kataly’s Crew has now started to enjoy some rotation in Jamaica, while Another Confrontation on the popular Chi Chi Bud CD continues to rock the air waves, and the Cd is now a New York chart topper. Steele’s DVD “Steele Live in concert” will also be available shortly, and will share the incredible vibes of his past April 5th concert at Sydney’s. His CD The Love of Jah continues to be a good seller for him, and with all this in place, the Canadian reggae sensation keeps moving forward.
The Rusea's Old Students Gala will be held in Toronto on Saturday May 17th at the luxurious Swagat Banquet Hall. Also expected to be in attendance will be the governor general of Jamaica. For information and tickets please call 416-724-9041.

ROCKS CAPACITY CROWD AT SYDNEY’S
Ticket sales had remained brisk for the days leading up to Steele
live in concert, but the real indication of what was to be came
on April 5th the day of the show, when fans started gathering at the venue
from as early as 6.30pm .At 9.20pm when the Mountain Edge Band
took the stage, Sydney’s, now almost filled to
capacity was ready to devour whatever the maestros of music had to offer
and they did not disappoint. Rising star Empress Minot
was next to hit the stage and she continued to build on the vibes already
started by the band.
An intermission then followed and popular radio personalities Delroy Sterling, Luther Brown and King David of CHRY105.5 fm all had there various task. Dj Delroy Sterling and selecta Padi of Roots Love Sound kept the audience bouncing by spinning the jams, while Luther Brown and King David conducted giveaways courtesy of West Indian Fine Foods, Western Union, and Kaladel Design.
The intermission ended and one of Canada’s most popular comedians Naggo Morris took twenty five minutes to demonstrate why he is now a house hold name. Supported by an additional cast of three, the laughter inside Sydney’s became deffenining; this was an obvious sign that everyone was having a great time.
When 11.00pm came around Sydney’s was filled to legal capacity, and unfortunately, representatives from MOBS Production had to apologize to many who could not gain entry to the venue.
At 11.15pm with instructions from mc’s Luther Brown and King David the band dived into a familiar intro and the man of Steele emerged from somewhere within the audience to rousing applause and screams from his adoring fans.
Steele wasted little time in stamping his authority, and everyone knew they were in for a treat.
Hit after hit filled the room, Steele could do no wrong, songs such as Love TKO, Silhouette, Confession, Slave Driver, Shining Star, and the ever popular Another Confrontation had everyone singing and dancing. Other songs such as The Love of Jah and Spirit of the Rastaman created a sense of spirituality within all attending. Steele then went back in time when he delivered the Berres Hammond favorite One Dance. This was when he invited seasoned songstress Ola Jade to join him on stage. Sydney’s went wild when both artists tried to convince the audience “who run tings in a relationship the man or the woman” Jade belted the very popular Once Dance Just Won’t Do, while Steele tried to prove his point by engaging her in a rub a dub session. In the end all agreed both parties are equally important in the relationship. Steele however later found himself in more trouble when one of his female fans who he had invited to join him on stage, found it very hard to leave, but with a hug that lasted for some time she finally decided it was time to go.
After a set that lasted almost two hours, Steele left the stage with the audience chanting the words to Jah Is My Strength, all agreed Steele live in concert was an outright hit.
On behalf of Steele and MOBS Production we wish to thank the fans and the media for there continued love and support. Also, much love to Kaladel Design for Steele’s smashing outfit.
