Details:
Reggae recording artist Ashaka is back and emerging with a brand-new dance groove. Itâs contemporary, itâs reggae, itâs fresh, it popâs, itâs classic, and it rocks. Krazy!, So What?, and Dance Groove, available ONLY for digital downloading and streaming, are excerpts from Ashaka's forthcoming untitled full-length album scheduled for release late 2007. ONLY THE REMIX OF THESE VERSIONS WILL BE ON THE FORTHCOMING FULL-LENGTH ALBUM.

Born Linval Thomas, Ashaka hails from Kingston, Jamaica.
His musical vibe has been bubbling in venues in and around the Illinois (East St Louis) and St Louis (Missouri) bi state areas. For the past five years since his debut CD single Unite, the Ashaka vibe has been heard, felt and appreciated by reviewers and fans alike. The editorials explain it best.

In an interview with Norman Parish of the St Louis Post Dispatch, Mike Kociela, owner of the entertainment company, Entertainment Saint Louis, and a local expert on reggae in the St Louis area said, âThomas is talented. Thomas gave a strong performance as part of an opening act for a Jimmy Cliff concert in St Louis about three years ago. Thomas stage name then was Prodigal. Thomas stood out from everybody. He was good.â Again in the Riverfront Times, St Louis premier entertainment newspaper, Ashaka was characterized as follows, âAt night the Kingston, Jamaica, native, becomes the roots reggae wizard Ashaka. Formally known as the Prodigal, Ashaka writes and sings pure classic reggae, the sort of stuff you hear cover bands aping endlessly. See this act and you will ask yourself, âWho knew we had this caliber of reggae artist in the bi-state area?â

Some of the comments from Ashaka's fans are expressed in his guestbook page at www.ashakamusic.com.
