Matisyahu, a Hasidic reggae musician from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, currently has three of the top ten albums on the iTunes reggae charts, and played at the Winter Olympics on Monday. NBC has also chosen to feature his song One Love in commercials for the 2010 games in Vancouver. He told the Daily News on Tuesday: “I celebrate shabbos, keep kosher and pray every day, but I have another musical life. Bob Marley was it for me.”
On Mar 16, Matisyahu will make his first visit to the 92nd Street Y to discuss his development as an artist, the fusion of his various musical styles and his latest record, Light. That album topped reggae charts for over 10 weeks, “an unheard-of Caucasian crossover,” the Daily News wrote. Check out the Hype Machine to hear his music.
