Malika Madremana
Elixir
CD
Oakland, CA-based reggae artist Malika Madremana adds solid doses of grace and poise to the Rastafarian-inspired music she’s been performing for the last ten years now. Her newly released sophomore effort, Elixir, combines the jivey rhythms of dancehall with the more traditional roots subgenre. Madremana makes both her militant consciousness known in the track “Love Jah Rastafari” and her desire for a Marley-channeling harmony fest with the islands-centric reggae tune “When it Rains.” Listen for harmonious accompaniment from legends Kenyatta Itola, Tuff Lion, and the record’s producer Alan “Blaaklung” Gordon.
