Conception
Ever since
it's founding on the island of Jamaica in 1968, by Vernon Carrington Prophet
Gad, the Twelve Tribes of Israel organization, through its music body
world-wide, has been the pre-eminent conservator, and primary progenitor of
Orthodox Roots Reggae music.
While the
organization, Twelve Tribes of Israel, has remained a non-player on the
commercial side of the music industry over the years, a small percentage of
its many world-class member artistes have pursued individual careers, and
are today numbered among the true superstars, and luminaries of Roots Reggae
music.
These
include: The HonoRebel Robert "Nesta" Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Judy Mowatt, Fred Locks,
Freddy McGregor, Sister Carol, Junior Byles, Brigadier Jerry,
Israel Vibrations, Earl 'Bagga' Walker, Pablo Black, Johnnie Osborne,
Denroy Morgan and Morgan Heritage, in Jamaica, Che-Fu in New Zealand, and
many others. A much larger, and ever growing pool of world-class member
artistes have remained non-commercial, opting to record strictly in-house,
and perform exclusively at Twelve Tribes of Israel events, world-wide.
Manifestation
This
situation changed forever when ORTHODOX MUZIK, the official label for
ORTHODOX RECORDING & PUBLISHING COMPANY LTD., in trust for the Twelve
Tribes of Israel music body, was formally launched in Kingston, Jamaica, on
November 2, 2001.
This new company
is organized as a limited liability commercial entity, and is governed by a
Board of Directors, lead by the well known, and respected song writer,
arranger and musician, Sangie Davis who is assisted by capable staff
drawn from the Twelve Tribes of Israel membership around the world.
As of December 2006, The
Label has released the following 5 CD’s :
1. Great & Marvellous
(Orthodox Issachar)
2. Got To Leave This Place
(Dan Hutson & The Seers)
3. Words Of My Mouth
(Sangie Davis)
4. HE Created Everything (Orthodox
Issachar)
5. Shine Your Light

Unfolding
With

Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Vincent, Grenada, Guyana, New York
and Los Angeles in the U.S., Canada, London and Manchester in the United
Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Ethiopia,

In these times of
trials and tribulations, Orthodox Muzik is a Lighthouse beacon
in the raging storm as the good news message of hope and
salvation is in the music.
