Why Reggae listeners should boycott Rastar Records

Greetings Rastafari and Reggae listeners worldwide,

One of the best things that can be done is to stand up and take some action to rebuke the wicked. In general I try to reserve judgment and learn from my own experiences, which I have done. From my own experiences,  ”Ebna Al Hakim Makonnen”  or Gaimon Bonitto  of Rastar Records is a liar and a thief.  He has lied to I and stolen from I as well as many others in the Rastafari and music community. He continues to threatens those in the community and has put out 2 albums that were not authorized for him to release. Both have InI art on the cover, one I gave permission and one I specifically did not. I did not know at the time of the first album what kind of person I was working with nor that the music was taken without consent. The first album is Akae Beka ” Defend Jah ” and the second is Akae Beka  ” La Corona Ship St. Mary of Tsion “. He also used my art on ” Black God Riddim” album without compensation.

These elements are largely accountable for sexual buy cialis dysfunction. The way coffee triggers sexual wellbeing- Well, knowing the wonders of coffee on the health can be in jeopardy. Therefore all these malfunctions that are happening to get combined to develop the sexual incapability can be restricted and therefore the blood can downtownsault.org getting prescription for viagra easily continue flowing with the natural pressure in the natural way. If you have only just met your partner, trust will not have matured yet, so india tadalafil tablets wait. From personal experience I have watched him encourage misinformation and spread rumors, and I am sure he is still doing it. If I hadn’t heard with my own ears that he was using me, I wouldn’t have imagined I was dealing with someone so disturbed.  Whether disturbed or not, his actions, threats and accusations warrant repercussions. InI want to make it clear on my website that Rastar Records specifically Gaimon Bonitto is an instigator that is mentally disturbed. Boycott Rastar Records, and if he steals from you, or threatens you, or anyone does, speak up and burn them out.  I choose to learn for myself what a devil he is, and that is why I present what I have seen. Not heresy and not others peoples issues. Judgement will come, whether in court or elsewhere.

NEW RASTAFARI Fine Art: Winter 2019/2020 “Out of the Dark”

Greetings in the Name of His Imperial Majesty, The Light of the World, Conquering Lion of Judah, Emperor Haile Selassie I. Your Inspiration is Everlasting.

Welcome to the Winter Series, “Out of the Dark.” It is title so because of the many changes that have happened this Winter. Lots of those we Love have completed their cycle on this plane, and we all have had life teaching and challenging us. Let Jah Light Beam In. This series documents Nov. to Jan. of the art that has been made. Special for this presentation are many paintings never published will be shown today for the first time. I will not include the Scroll of Reasons because it has already been shared and written on in detail. All the pieces below are available as prints and some of the originals are available. I would like to thank everyone who collaborated in the visions and the art itself. 4 Joy-tings are collaborations with others, and that is super cool and special. I also have received many ideas from others that I have put into the art. Thank you everyone for the support and strength. You will be mentioned with the piece!

Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas.

“Christ On the Rock “Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas.

This is the first piece I did after I received a surgery on my spine. It was an interesting point, because I had to see if my motor skills were good after having my spinal cord decompressed. This would allow my nerves to work on my left side of my body which had been giving me problems. The Joy-ting was that. The feeling of doing the stretches involved in painting and feeling muscles work again was what I needed. The Joy-ting came out with ease and effortless. A too effortless, and that is why I decided to put a more dramatic background than I previously had. My son’s and I worked on it together and made a video about painting techniques. You can check it here.  Ras Elijah Painting   The first canvas came out lovely after the surgery and it was time keep up the works. The Original was sold to Mr. Greg Tate and I thank him for the huge support in the efforts to make the art spawn the vision to reality.

" From Heart To Mouth " by Dre-Z Melodi and Ras Elijah Tafari. Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas. 20"x28"

” From Heart To Mouth ” by Dre-Z Melodi and Ras Elijah Tafari. Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas. 20″x28″

This piece is for a special upcoming project, to be announced..It was a very heights project, that focuses on Rastafari. Here Emperor Haile Selassie  I is shooting energy into the Lion Man on the Earth. His Imperial Majesty shooting it from the Orb is to show that is the Energy of the Earth and the Fullness there-of which is that The Lord shoots into him. Out of the Lion Man’s mouth is the river that flows through the gentle land scape of New Mexico, symbolizing the Words of the Rastaman. Dre-Z took the lead with this piece and made the landscape perfect for New Mexico. His pueblo design is great and colors captured the New Mexican tierra perfectly. Likewise composition and layout was Dre-Z at the lead. This is the second Joy-ting we have worked on together, looking forward to lots more. The triangle designs are a traditional native design once again brought by Dre-Z. We would like to also give InI daughter, Tana Tafari-Morgan a hail up for painting in the pyramids. The original is available and prints as well.  http://blog.raselijah.com/shop/products/from-heart-to-mouth-by-dre-z-melodi-and-ras-elijah-tafari/

" Ethiopia, Lifts the World." By Ras Elijah Tafari and Dre-Z Melodi. Acrylic, Gold, and Indian Ink on Canvas.

” Ethiopia, Lifts the World.” By Ras Elijah Tafari and Dre-Z Melodi. Acrylic, Gold, and Indian Ink on Canvas. Original sold, prints available.

This piece is the 3rd I have done with Dre-Z Melodi. It is for a very special upcoming project…Placed on a New Mexico landscape, it goes with the last piece. This piece says          ” Ethiopia ” in Amharic, in a whirlwind. On the Whirlwind are the ancestors praying and singing for our resurrection and transcendence throughout the rising times. Seven Priests in Black represent each of the Seals placed on the Book, and the 9 priests below represent the everlasting order of Melchizadok.  The Man and Woman are the Balance of the Earth in their decision to use the Fire and Heart of His and Her Majesty to fly like hot air balloons but higher.  In their levitation/ livication to the King and Queen of Kings they are able to be the purple lotus. The lotus symbolize the Royal Children of Jah that have not been forsaken in the mud and moss, but grow like beauty for ashes. The Power of the Heart illustrated by Dre-Z goes off the page to reach out to go beyond the image. This is the most detailed I have gone into painting the Crowns of His and Her Majesty, Haile Selassie the First and Empress Asfaw Menen.  St. George is proudly shown on His Crown as is The Madonna on Her Crown. This piece has been spoken for, however prints look good and are available. This piece hasn’t been seen till today and we are excited to see this get out to the World!

AKAE BEKA DEFENDJAH RELEASE COMING..

So much things to say right now…Let Jah Be Praised. So many of you are aware of the uniqueness of the moment and this release of AKAE BEKA, DEFENDJAH. I would like to share some of what I am witnessing though it may be limited due to I scope of awareness. We have many unique and powerful one’s that surround Akae Beka, there is no past tense. These one’s have their own special place and purpose and will be inclined to do what they should do and with whom they should work. Within that field I do not want to simply see Good, I want to see Righteous and Holy works. Likewise when I make a piece of art I will spend often longer on a piece than the entire record took to make. I do this because it’s about doing the Best I can do..period. With anything that involves Akae Beka, I love when time and thought is put into every mix and action. With that said, I am actually pleased that Rastar Recordz has decided to postpone the release of the album, and only offer it in hard copies at first. I think is a wise and over due move, that actually allows the manufacturer and producers to handle distribution and not give it to youtube through whomever wishes to upload it. I personally feel that youtube, spotify, apple music and iTunes have been robbing the musicians and there is an alternative motive concerning publishing, payments, royalties and rights. It takes some serious study to realize how to not be exploited. So when the Hard Copies are made they will be sent off, and you can pre-order a copy as well. When will it happen,..Jah knows, like everything involved with this particular album it is mystic, and full of unusual turns. We are a strange and peculiar people it has been said.

Next topic is the Scroll, and words that accompany it. We will offer ” The Scroll of Reasons” with the explantation and hopefully a t-shirt as part of a package. That is in the mix, and I will let you know as it comes. With anything it is better to take your time. ..I know this may be off subject but I wanted to say something, Beyond what the politics are between the US and Iran, after watching the funeral of General Solomani, and watching how 50 people died attending the funeral because they were stepped on in a stampede hit a powerful cord of truth…No one can hurt you or embarrass you more than yourself, if you move to quickly, being ran by emotions you will trample yourself. Iranians aren’t the first or last, which is why this is more than a parable, when we take our time we are able to move in accord rather than discord. Anytime people walk on each other its a bad deal, from Walmart to the KabbaStone Hear INI. So with that, we are taking the time to make sure all is in accord with the One, in the Power of the Trinity moved by the Holy Spirit. Haile Selassie I. Jah Bless you all, Prayers of Power and Protection. Link anytime if the Spirit Moves.

I have had some feedback about the art and I wanted to address 3 topics so that it is crystal clear: 1. The figure on the left is an Ethiopia Orthodox Abuna in about the year 1954. He is not the Grim Reaper… 2. In No way would I ever put anyone above The Emperor. I feel that the Spirit of Christ was seen all around H.I.M. and that The Three Men as One were representative of the Power of the Trinity itself. This is why there is 3 doves to symbolize the Holy Spirit, and why there is a Cross of His Crown. I expected Orthodox Christians to have a issue with it, however it was devout Rastafari, that wanted it clearly put, in which I am in agreement, that Haile Selassie I is the Father of ALL.  Iyesus Christos is not above the Emperor or Center because He is Better. They are One, neither can be exact to each other because They are different thru properties. The Father is the Father, the Son is the Son and the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit, though They are One. Like water, being solid, liquid and gas. Lastly, (3) This isn’t the first time or the last I would imagine…I AM NOT PURPOSELY DRAWING MYSELF, I AM FROM NORTH EAST AFRICA, WE MAY HAVE SOME SIMILARITIES. I think all artists struggle with this from time to time, and when it comes to His Imperial Majesty many think I am drawing myself who don’t know the King of Kings. Those who know I would know that it would sac-religious and wicked for InI to ever think I could/would/should replace Christ or that I am trying to make the Emperor be I. I am a servant of the King, I put H.I.M. FIRST  and despise self exaltation, and am not worthy of all the blessings I have received. It is only because of Jah Mercy I am here. I love honest people asking questions and I welcome thoughts, and questions likewise. If I think I know the answer I will bring what I know or think to those who may benefit.  Jah Bless You all, and Give Thanks for Jah Mercy, and for His Judgment. In Everything Praise the King of Kings. Emperor Haile Selassie I First and Forever.
