Marijah is an original, singer, songwriter, and percussionist who is powerful, soul stirring, sweet and conscious all at the same time! Her new CD "Mystic Angel" is a blend of Reggae, R & B and afro fusion. Songs like "Pray for the World" with strong reggae roots vibes, "Hot Like Fire" making you dance with an afro-soca blend, "There You Go" soothing your soul with a smooth R&B sound, and "Land of Happy" hypnotizing you with a Reggaeton, Afro-east Indian fusion. Everyone who hears "Mystic Angel" loves it. Pray for the World was in the top 10 on WLRN, Miami Florida. Marijah appeals to a wide range of audiences, because of her versatility. Once you hear her music, it speaks for itself!

Marijah & the Reggae Allstars - New Times 2007 Best Live Band
New Times (Broward Palm Beach Edition)
Best of Awards:
Best Live Band
Marijah and the Reggae All-Stars
Sure, indie rock rules the scene, and a ton of imitation bands are cropping up all over South Florida (with matching hair, trying to become the next Fall Out Boy). But that doesn't mean that any of these cookie-cutter groups actually knows how to play. Locally, the band with the strongest instrumentation and best stage show is Marijah and the Reggae All-Stars. Their blend of Caribbean and West African music is impressive live or recorded; they've mastered instruments from those regions. They've also got incredible timing and lock into a groove that's unmatched by any other act locally. Everyone in the band has more than 20 years of playing experience and gigs frequently with other reggae singers throughout the tricounty area. There also aren't many female-headed reggae bands out there, and Marijah is working twice as hard to stay afloat in this male-dominated genre. What stands out about the group is its ability to get crowds rocking with conscious lyrics and a heavy roots-rock attitude. You don't have to be a lover of Caribbean music to appreciate this band and the reggae-Afro-fusion sound it cranks out live. Just don't be surprised to see that this reggae band is actually headed by an Italian-American woman from New Jersey. New Times June 6, 2007

Review by Chuck Foster
Perfect Examples
"An upful spiritual vibe pervades Marijah's Mystic Angel (Marijah Music). Backed by the Reggae Allstars, Marijah Soulfully winds her way through a set of all-original material offering a woman's perspective on the state of the Earth, war and peace, life and love and the roots of human-kind. The band contributes hard-rocking riddims, fiery bursts of dj and rap and backing vocals and Marijah turns it loose on "Bank Skank" (This World)," "Spread My Wings," "Love Is the Reason," "Pray For The World" and my personal favorite, "Live Up" featuring Binghi Bob. If you've been thinking the reggae scene is a bit too male-dominated give a listen to a strong woman who tells it like it is."

Marijah, Kalimba, Richie, Bradley, Rich & Garfield, have been working hard over the last year and truly deserve this recognition. Here are a few excerpts from the local paper:
