Empress Ayeola AN INNER-VIEW WITH DI REAL FYAH MAMA! BY MARCO SPADA

[MS] Welcome to the Tribal Realities! How are you? I bet your life is going Higher & Higher just like your ever popular hit, uhhh? You know, that tune always put a smile on mah face! [EA] Jah Rastafari ! [MS] First things first...What's the story behind your name, Empress Ayeola? [EA] Well you know first of all it was about...I would say...14 years ago, I was listening to a Mutabaruka program where he was actually discussing African baby names and then the name Ayeola came up and he gave the meaning that it was “Joy and Wealth in Life” and I just love that name because it was so close to my so-called “Babylon middle name”...it was fantastic! [MS] You sing "Beautiful Jamaica, a place for roots and culture", is there something special for you in that island? [EA] Yuh nuh, I was born in England, left when I was about two years old to Jamaica, went to school, worked for a couple of years after

tr 8

graduating, then I returned to the UK... [MS]Your first encounters with music: who was your first music teacher? [EA] While attending school in Ja, I had a very famous teacher, the late "great" Sonya Spence, know for hits like No Charge, Leaving On A Jet Plane, When and many more.... She was my English and Drama teacher, sometimes she would cover for our music teacher. I was one of four girls selected to do backing vocals for her when she was playing out, that is how i started out doing music. [MS] Your musical influences at the time? [EA] Also while growing up wid the influences at the time like, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, Culture, The I Threes, especially Mama Griffiths, Rastafari Movements, Sister Carol and not forgetting Sonya Spence who had a huge influence on me, yes Garnet Silk tu. Suh yes! Jamaica is a special place for me

YOU TO

YOUR SELF

[MS] How did you get to your de- your Border Lines video (off the but album Isat Innat. And, by the album entitled Straight to the way, what does that mean? Point): a peace-full and power[EA] Fire Mama! ... I left music for a full call to action. You are an while after I became a mother and in Empress bringing peace among March 2000, Rastafari rise I up with men on this planet... #genuine a new name kick dun Babylon. Suh I move back to Jamaica to start Isat Innat, which was completed in London. Move forward ah should seh!

[EA] ...but you have to, because, you know, there is no peace, only war. And what's the point of this bloodshed.... di killing? Collectively we have to [MS] Moving forward! You are find a solution. It's all about Love. blessed by Rastafari! [MS] Yes, indeed, I thought we You know, I give thanks that Ras- were gonna talk about music but tafar-I has blessed me... I shouldn't the content encoded into your musay "blessed"...I would say “strength- sic is so powerful that, you know, ened” me and “enlighted” me to see we are talking about political and what's going on before my eyes... social issues here...and I see peosee what the naked eye can see... ple are ready for this: they want You know if you can reach the mas- this...they wanna listen to you, unsive so they can also see what I have derstand and change this planet... seen and elevate... we gotta speak of Truth and Rights – because that is the main foundation. We have broadly to aknowledge what is right and we have to trample what is wrong! [MS] Truth and Rights! Yes suh! [EA]We must move forward I should say. Everything is now coming to light so we are getting to know the full facts of our history, what we represent as African people in the world, how we should unify ourselves because we must not forget that on a whole all nations came from the African nation, you know what I mean? So Rastafar-I movement has actually shown us and teach I... [MS] I was delighted to watch

tr 10

[EA] If you have any form of integrity in your consciousness, in your conscious state of mind and you have integrity within you this is not about a black thing or a white thing. It is about Truth and Rights. And this is all I am trying to convey to the people. This is not about one world or the other, it's about exercising Truth and Rights and Equality...until there is no longer first class, second class of any nation, you know what I mean?Until there is no disrepecting, without grief, until the color of a man skin in no more significant...you know...all this destruction is going to happen, because we will never find Peace and Balance between all nations. So that's why it is for I and for many

tr 11


others like I, whether your chant is Rastafar-I or not, let them people know that first, you have to stand up for equal rights and justice in terms of who you are, whether you are black, white, pink or blue it don't matter. The Truth is the Truth..... We all have to move forward, because if we don't stand up for our rights... all this fat cats, spending millions on cars, million on houses that they can't live in...because you know, you can live in just one house at a time...while you see people are suffering, children are dying from starvation, from hunger, from disease... you know what I mean...from lack of education, from all this things upon di Earth and yet you are sitting with our wealth, drinking champagne and all these things...NO! It has to stop! And if the people do not stand up for their rights, they're gonna be trampled under feet. [this is true for] Any government of any nation...

tr 12

the woman is disregarded in the Bible...you are either of some Super-Natural Order or you are nonexistent...so women became meaningless. I would like the world to know that we are the Givers of Life. Without women, there will be no one on the face of Earth. And we have to be cherished, respected, nurtured and loved. You know, this is serious![I am telling yuh dis] To all the women out there who are selling their dignity, their pride, their morality just for ther sake of some Babylon-dollar! I know from the basic morality, long before I started Rastafar-I, that we are precious, we cannot be bought and we cannot be sold. And right now, it doesn't matter: you see them from the Lady Gaga come right down to the Dancehall Queens of Jamaica, they are selling themselves to the vulgarity that some of the people of this world crave for. They are losing all sense of virtue just for the sake of Babylon...this things have to stop. Because if you have righteousness within yourself you will know that... no matter what the hardships you going through..there is something you do not sell, as a woman, your self respect. You need to remember that. Aim for your goal in life, work towards it, and you surely will achieve. To educate a nation, educate di woman...

[MS]FYAH! It's gettin hot in here!This was totally a Real Fire Mama speech, I guess....now, I have one question about women...Taking a broad general view in the media/showbiz, it seems that "real" women are an endangered species. Indeed, they seem to have been replaced by a grotesque, vulgar and humiliating representation of the "woman"...in this regard, what is the opinion of [MS] Do you see any connection Isat Innat "The Real Fire Mama"? between the way men behave to[EA] ...this is coming from the Bible, wards women and the way men behave towards Mother Earth?

tr 13


[EA] Well, I would say “yes” because, I would say broadly, on a whole, it's the same way they disrespect Mother Nature on a whole... because we all see what they're doing, because right now they are fracking into the soil which is disturbing the atmosphere and it's causing a lot of people to either be killed or lose their home and everything... then you have floods and hurricanes and storms and earthquakes...it is caused by what man is doing to the atmosphere and to the Earth by polluting with corruption. They don't respect Mother Earth, they don't respect Mother Nature...they're now doing genetically-modified food... what's next? Animal?...then People!

world... where u wanna go next?

[EA] What happened is that while I was recording this album “Straight to the Point” I had taken just over 2 years off di road...in the studio to get it done, as you know I'm jus coming from the Dub Champion Festival in Vienna, which was 7th February. ... suh definitely I will be travelling soon I am just waiting to hear where next and I've been doing a lot of promotion of the album which is, you nuh, basically from radio station to radio station...hahaha...

Is there anyone you want to thank?Time to give shout-outs! [EA] I would like to thank all my people who supported Empress Ayeola all this years, especially Sandy Thompson which is my manager in Florida, USA and my manager in Europe Clive Allick who has been in the industry since a long time, doing great things for great artists who have been out there from the pop world to the reggae world and to Carlton "Bubblers" Ogilvie who has always been there for me, who has work on my first album Isat Innat as co-producer and who has done this new album Straight to the Point. Nuff Love to Bubblers, to Arielle and all the musicians who have supported both albums and who have worked on it and to all the promoters, sound systems, radio deejays and my fans over the years. I give thanks for their strength...for the Fyah Is Here! It Never Goes Away! Rastafar-I love Replenishing the Earth [MS] Nuff Love and Massive Raspek!

This is the proper way to complete our innerview/interview but...before we start meditate on these irie vibes and bass lines, let me ask you...artists: names to watch? [LDV] LD DUB, Alpha B, Mat DT sound, Injham, all of these guys are from France... Right now I would say France is the place to watch for great quality Reggae. I would say watch out for all the artsist on the Svaha Label and also Dubophonic! Dub Thomas is a good friend and he does great things in supporting the great talent he unearths! I must say a big RESPECT to him for asking me (Svaha Sound System) to feature on some his early releases, More LOve brother! [MS] NUFF Love to all this genuine people! And, I am droppin the last question: what are your forthcoming projects? [LDV] I have a 3.5 hr slot at the ONE LOVE festival 2014 in the UK. I am taking SVaha Family members, KING DUB RECORDS, DUBTICIAN, DIANA LEVI, and REAL ROOTS so we can give the people a real showcase and unity session! We have the Northern Lights compilation showcasing the best in Canadian Reggae and Dub, MY breddrin and co label owner Mr Lion is running that project as we speak! We have plenty more compilations in the pipeline. We are also just about to push two new artsist onto the scene! Papa Sambor outta BERLIN... with his debut album Mystic Garden, this album is a thing of real beauty! (i will send you it as soon as its mastered!) Dublaw outta UK... another top quality artist with a sound that is beyond his age in maturity! Another artist to watch! [MS] NUFF RASPEK. Keep us posted on your projects and come back again to the Tribal Realities Planet. Give Thanks! [LDV] More Love! Svaha!

ALSO FRONTING AS A UK HIHOP GROUP XSCAPE WITH TWO CLOSE SCHOOL FRIENDS, WE MADE A FEW TUNES BUT NEVER TOOK IT ANYWHERE. WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME LISTENING TO CYPRESS HILL, SNOOP, TUPAC, BIGGIE, ONYX AND WU TANG.

2.FAVORITE ARTISTS? BOB MARLEY, MOST DEFINITELY! MY FIRST MUSICAL MEMORIES ARE OF LISTENING TO MY FATHERS RECORDS AS A CHILD. BOB WAS BIG IN MY HOUSEHOLD AND PETER TOSH, THE FIRST ALBUM I HEARD WAS LEAGALIZE IT. AGAIN, JAH SHAKA KILLS IT EACH AND EVERY TIME!

HEAVEN IS LONG-ENDURING AND EARTH CONTINUES LONG. THE REASON WHY HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE ABLE TO ENDURE AND CONTINUE THUS LONG IS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT LIVE OF, OR FOR, THEMSELVES. THIS IS HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE AND ENDURE. THEREFORE THE SAGE PUTS HIS OWN PERSON LAST, AND YET IT IS FOUND IN THE FOREMOST PLACE; HE TREATS HIS PERSON AS IF IT WERE FOREIGN TO HIM, AND YET THAT PERSON IS PRESERVED. IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE HAS NO PERSONAL AND PRIVATE ENDS, THAT THEREFORE SUCH ENDS ARE REALIZED?

tr 68

EL CIELO Y LA TIERRA PERDURAN EN EL TIEMPO, PASAN LOS SIGLOS Y SIEMPRE SE REGENERAN. PORQUE NO SE MIRAN A SÍ MISMOS, NO SE PREOCUPAN DE SU PROPIA EXISTENCIA. EL SABIO NUNCA IMPONE SU PRESENCIA, NO HACE SENTIR SU EXISTENCIA A LOS DEMÁS, Y ASÍ PERDURA Y SE REGENERA EN EL TIEMPO. RENUNCIA A SU VIDA Y ASÍ LA CONSERVA. EL SABIO NO BUSCA EL PROVECHO PERSONAL Y ASÍ NO CONSUME SU VIDA NI SU EXISTENCIA. PARECE COMO SI SE QUEDARA REZAGADO, Y SIN EMBARGO SU EXISTENCIA SE IMPONE. DAO DE JING
