RASTAFARIAN CELEBRATION OF PETER TOSH\u2019S BIRTHDAY FEATURING MARLON ASHER, KAVA JAH, RAS TAKURA , and more TO BE HELD AT THE ASHKENAZ IN BERKELEY ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13<\/p>\n\n

Out Of Many One Productions presents the Peter Tosh Birthday Celebration. This annual
\ncelebration will be held at Ashkenaz in Berkeley on Friday, October 13 at 8pm. Featured artists are \u201cThe Ganjah Farmer\u201d Marlon Asher, Kava Jah &amp; The Remedy Band, Ras Takura Dub Poet, and Jahwarri.<\/p>\n

The Nyabinghi Drummers will also be performing ceremonial Rastafarian drumming and chanting, and the host of the evening is MC Spliff Skankin, popular reggae radio host from KPFA. Peter Tosh was a Rastafarian and in keeping with his beliefs, the entire event will be performed by Rastafarians. The public is welcome to come and enjoy this pure Rastafarian ceremony with an exciting musical line-up.<\/p>\n

Headliner Marlon Asher, the \u201cGanja Farmer\u201d is a native Trinidadian and is the first reggae
\nsensation out of Trinidad &amp; Tobago who is now one of the most sought out artist in the country.<\/p>\n

His talent and ingenuity were released to the world in 2004 with his break-through smash hit \u201cGanja Farmer\u201d which swept Trinidad &amp; Tobago and quickly took over the Caribbean and the United States, Africa and Europe. Marlon\u2019s 2nd huge hit \u201cGanja Cowboy\u201d also made a splash on the Caribbean community. Controversial yet captivating, the two songs together are both considered instant classics and anthems for all who can appreciate the benefits of \u201cGanja\u201d proving so with a combined total of over 15 million views and downloads.<\/p>\n

Event producer, Carlton Campbell, who is also Peter Tosh\u2019s cousin and toured with him
\nextensively in the 80\u2019s, keeps the fire burning for Tosh\u2019s music and message by producing this annual event. Campbell says, \u201cWe have tried to do it every year since 1988 but missed a few years, especially during Covid\u201d.<\/p>\n

Winston Hubert McIntosh, OM (October 19, 1944 – September 11, 1987), professionally known as Peter Tosh, was a Jamaican reggae musician. Along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, he was one of the core members of the band the Wailers (1963\u20131976), after which he established himself as a successful solo artist and a promoter of Rastafari. He was murdered in 1987 during a home invasion. His 1975 hit \u201cLegalize It\u201d became an anthem for legalizing marijuana and by Rastafari and reggae music enthusiasts. Tosh was active in opposing South African apartheid.<\/p>\n

The Ashkenaz Music &amp; Dance Community Center is located at 1317 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, CA. This is all- ages event.<\/p>\n
