Pair release new Soul CD

The technological revolution which allows well financed international pirates to bootleg CDs, video games and high priced computer software also has a more positive side, in that consumer versions of the same technology have allowed an increasing number of people to create and promote their own art. Today, a pair of aspiring Belizean musicians visited News 5 to hype their new release. We opted to give viewers a sample and let them decide for themselves.

Patrick “Super P” Palacio and Sheldon “Apache” Dennison are former Dance Hall Reggae artists who’ve struggled over the past fifteen years to make it on the musical scene.

“I tried to send my message already in dance hall music to the younger people, and I realised and saw that the people were into a bangarang way of music and I just don’t deal with music on that level.”

Today the artists have not only changed their music but are singing to a different age group.

“I start sing souls now and when I take it to older folks, they give me credit and tell me to do something with this type of music.”

Sheldon “Apache” Dennison

“It sell a lot, because we have people who we ask for support and they really come back and give the support to us.”

The young men would like you to support them by purchasing their first CD release, Souls.

“We deal with love, we don’t deal with violence, we’re all about love and we want the people in society to know it’s all about love. It’s best to give love. Sometimes children meet us on the street di walk, and who knows, maybe they ask us for a shilling or dollar. We go down sometimes, and we could come up, but what about when we can’t come up. How’s that supposed to make us feel, and we are Belize local artists.”

The new CD, SOULS, is available at Tambran Recording Studio for twenty-five dollars.
