| Connecting Routes came into being in autumn 1989
and were formed by Tsagazahab who is the Songwriter, the Singer and
Visionary force of the band. In the past 15 years the band has toured
extensively in Europe and England as a support act and as headliners
in their own right. They've performed gigs at all major Universities
and supported many of Jamaica's finest Reggae groups.
They
also supported "Hawkwind" on several occasions during
their formative years which led to a good relationship being developed
between the two bands. As the music developed they realised that
more time and energy was needed to maintain and improve themelves.
So they made an agreement that they would sacrifice all that is
necessary for the betterment of music. We secured a European Tour
with "Steel Pulse" and
made ready for the work ahead. It was October 1991 when the tour
kicked off. The first gigs were in the United Kingdom, Aberdeen
in Scotland being a memorable one. We worked from the north down
to the south playing major cities till we crossed the channel. Over
a period of six weeks we toured various European countries and played
at venues such as : Zenith in France, The Paradiso in Holland, Shutzenhauser
Switzerland, Pattamata in Italy and various other places.
Reggae is a music of truth and we will continue to be the voice
of the oppressed, the downtrodden, the homeless, the hungry, the
shelterless, the motherless, fatherless, the aged, widows, the infirm
and the orphans. Justice and Truth forever. One Love.
