Please join Meta and the Cornerstones to celebrate the release of their independently produced, full-length studio album, FORWARD MUSIC. With hits such as SOMEWHERE IN AFRICA, SENEGAL, and WHO YOU WANNA BE, this album is packed with 13 soulful and electrifying tracks.
Meta’s powerful lyrics, tasteful melodies, and soulful voice will take you back to the roots of Reggae music. Infusing hip hop, rock, soul, and African influences, and in multiple languages, this modern day classic truly stands alone.
Hailing from five different countries, Meta and the Cornerstones bring to bear some of the best international musicians working in New York City: Andre Daniel (keyboards), Adrian Djoman (bass), Ian Joseph (drums), Shahar Mintz (lead guitar), and Daniel Serrato (guitar).
So come and join us for our album launch and be a part of a movement that will change the face of international reggae and world music forever.
Peace, Love and Harmony
