A great Reggae style band.

<From the Taipei Times>...

"Red-I is planting the good seeds, and it's time for the righteous music to bloom. For the last two years, the Paiwan reggae artist has been touring Taiwan with his bands. First the Bukkake Posse, now The Riddim Outlawz. Laying down a rock steady beat of reggae, ska and jazz with local characteristics, he hopes will expand Taiwan's national consciousness through music. He gigs monthly in Taichung and Taitung and will play Kaohsiung and Lotung, in Ilan County, over the next few weeks.

Why reggae? "It's the music of oppressed people everywhere, and there's a lot of oppression in Taiwan that people just don't realize it because they have money," said Red-I, who speaks English with an Afro-Caribbean accent. "People have to break themselves from that and open up their world. Reggae is oppressed third-world music, and that's what the people want to hear."
