The strong roots of Mystic Vibrations began in Little London, Westmoreland, Jamaica
and brought to the US in 1992 by Ric Williams. Credited to their name are two
self released studio albums (People Get Ready and Busy Street) and one live recording
(Live In Finlay Park). A busy schedule keeps the band constantly on the road touring
the eastern US from New York to Florida. The band is a four-piece rhythm section
of exceptionally talented musicians;
Andrew Whitaker (drums), George 'Raheem'
Johnson(bass), Janae Davis (keyboards and backing vocals) and Ric Williams (guitar
and lead vocals). The band has established a large fan base that has steadily
grown over the years. Their music speaks of love, unity, peace amongst all mankind,
and the trials and tribulations of oppressed people.
Mystic Vibrations' first recording, People Get Ready (1993), features songs
such as, "Mi Woman", whose upbeat tempo is topped with the praises
of Ital (natural) living and womanly support. The title track of the album,
"People Get Ready", calls for physical, spiritual and mental repatriation.
Their second album, Busy Street (1999), contains hard hitting tracks such as
"Busy Street" and "Babylon System" which aim to raise awareness
toward the realities created by capitalist mentality. "Still On My Mind"
is a love ballad that reveals an inner strength that surpasses the physical
expectations of intimacy. Busy Street was later remixed in 2003, with a dub
version of the title track "Busy Street" added. A third album, Live
In Finlay Park (2002), features old and new tracks from both their prior and
upcoming albums. Mystic Vibrations is now working on a fourth album, Stop Dis
War, which is soon to be released.
Mystic Vibrations has appeared at many venues over the past twelve years. These
include parks, festivals, night clubs, weddings, a plethora of private parties,
and television and radio performances and interviews. They have also performed
with numerous reggae acts from Jamaica including Burning Spear, Yellowman, Third
World, Sizzla, Inner Circle, The Wailers and Israel Vibrations...just to name
a few.
In 2003, Mystik Muzik was created. It is a recording label solely dedicated
to bringing the music of Mystic Vibrations and other upcoming artists to the
world. This new expansion hails the beginning of a new era of exploding creativity
and bounding progress for a group which as has already reached thousands through
their artistic and conscious vision.
