The shoot was partially done at NY Styling<br \/>\nbarber shop, which is owned by Linja of Love People Sound. This video<br \/>\nshoot was handled by the crew at Slam DVD. Here are a few pictures and<br \/>\nvideo of the event. Great works are coming out of VA.\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px\">\n[!MaxiGallery? &amp;gal_query_ids=`167` &amp;display=`embedded` &amp;embedtype=`slimbox` &amp;pics_per_row=`4` &amp;order_by=`date` !]\n<\/div>\n<p>\nSleepy Wonder left town and returned triumphantly with Thievery<br \/>\nCooperation, live in concert. It was great to see the artist take the<br \/>\nstage as he usually does. Sleepy Wonder was awesome. The show had great<br \/>\nlight effects, which is not normal for most reggae acts. We wish to<br \/>\nthank Sleepy Wonder for allowing us the chance to see him do what he<br \/>\ndoes best. <a href=\"home\/sleepy-norva\/\">Watch Video Clip<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-165\" alt=\"soja\" height=\"208\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/SOJA-HIRES.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nA few weeks ago we also saw a band with Virginia roots visit the<br \/>\nHampton Roads area. If you missed it, they are scheduled to return in<br \/>\nDecember. We are speaking about S.O.J.A. We invite you to go out and<br \/>\nfeel the home grown reggae vibes they bring. The U.S and especially<br \/>\nVirginia reggae acts have been sharpening their skills and at this<br \/>\npoint many have done a wonderful job with reggae music. S.O.J.A is one<br \/>\nof those bands, who is mastering the art of playing roots reggae music<br \/>\nwith a little bit of American feel to the mix. Reggae is truly<br \/>\ninternational.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWe sat down with Futuristic to get some insight on what he was<br \/>\nabout and what he brings to the reggae community. <a href=\"Interviews\/futuristic\/\">Please check out the<br \/>\ninterview<\/a>. It is very informative. Watch out for this artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago we also saw a band with Virginia roots visit the Hampton Roads area.
