Taj Weekes & Adowa Play Minneapolis

The Ultimate Guide to What's Going On in the Twin Cities

Review by: Chris Riemenschneider

Hardly the first reggae act to address social injustice, Taj Weekes & Adowa do it with more an eye for current affairs and a thoughtful, problem-solving approach, which is just one of several reasons their new album "Diedem" ("All of Us") is a real attention-getter and was shortlisted for the Grammy’s reggae category. Born in St. Lucia and now based in New York, Weekes has a soulful and surprisingly effeminate voice that's also quite a head-turner, and his band is traditional but fiery.

Taj Weekes Headlines Cedar Cultural Center

TWIN CITIES PIONEER PRESS

Review by: Ross Raihala

IN THE CLUBS - MARCH 14

St. Lucian reggae artist Taj Weekes headlines the Cedar Cultural Center on Sunday [March 14, 2010] with his band, Adowa. Weekes remains a niche artist at this point but seems to be heading toward a more significant breakthrough with the impending release of his third album, the Hurricane Katrina-inspired "A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen." Weekes' last record, "Deidem," was called an "essential album heralding roots rock's resurgence" by Billboard.
