After spending majority of 2014 overseas Asante Amen has
returned to Jamaica and is ready to get down to business. Asante initially
visited the UK in April 2014 to do a few shows, but it soon turned into a media
& performance tour which saw the artist carrying both his music and message
across the UK. In addition he did a small tour of Italy in October 2014
alongside Italian Reggae and Dancehall artist Ras Tewelde and fast rising
selector Mr. J Selecta; which he reports was a success.
Since Asante’s return to the Island on the 18th of February,
he has already made appearances at the Martyrs Day Event Press launch, an event
held on the 21st of February at Cable Hut Beach in Bullbay St. Andrew and Vinyl
Thursdays, which was held at the Ranny Williams Centre. On the 21st of February
he performed alongside the legendary Luciano the Messenjah at Jamaica Tamboo in
Negril, then from there the Soulful One headed to the Belmont Academy in
Westmoreland on the 22nd of February for Irie FM’s Black History month Grand
Finale celebrations, where he was also slated to perform. Asante will also be
making appearances at the 47th anniversary celebration of the Twelve Tribes of
Israel, to be held at their headquarters on Hope road in Kingston on the 25th
and the lunch time concert series being held at the Ranny Williams Centre on
the 27th.
In March he will hopefully be able to rest and recharge as
he then has to be ready for the Blakkout Tour which will see him performing in
St. Thomas on April 4th, Portland on April 11th, and Manchester on April 25th.
