With a consistent pool of hits, fans will no longer wait in vain, as ace Reggae artist Iba Mahr will release his debut album ‘DIAMOND SOX’ on November 20, 2015. The 15 track album was produced by Jermaine Edwards and Roland Mcdermot for Born Rollin Productions and will be distributed by the VP Records affiliate, VPAL.
According to the artist, “Diamond Sox features members of my musical family such as the legendary saxophonist Dean Fraser, Capleton, Tarrus Riley, Jah Mali, Notis and Jah 9”. Iba Mahr also credits producers Michael Howell, Oneness Records, Conquering Lion Sound and Conrad Scarlett for their contributions to this album. He notes, “Diamond Sox album displays the many moods of Iba Mahr and shows that I have so much to say!. Each song brings variety to the album, allowing me to express my spirituality, roots, culture, history, love and intimacy. I refer to this one as a good book, with interesting chapters to read”.
The artist excited audiences in the United States over the summer holiday when he toured with fellow Reggae artist Kabaka Pyramid and the Bebble Rockers Band, on the Young Lions Tour. Over the months of June and July, the Young Lions toured several festivals and venues in California, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and all along the east coast ending with an amazing show at S.O.B.’s in New York City. Iba Mahr also performed for the first time in Canada at the 2015 Montreal International Reggae Festival this past August. Iba Mahr notes that the reception was tremendous and can be titled as one of his greatest touring experiences. He states “As two growing artists, our aim was to connect with our existing fans but also to introduce our music to a wider audience. We made history not only in the days or the months but also in the seconds and minutes of each moment so I hold tightly to the memories of sharing space with my brother Kabaka Pyramid & The Bebble Rockers Band”.
