The Itals with Kava Jah and the Remedy

The Itals are still in full bloom, vital and bearing ripe fruit. Out of Savana La Mar, Jamaica, for many years Keith Porter and the Itals have been one of the hardest working reggae acts out there – still fresh, strong and in good health and spirits. The Itals have the drive and perseverance to perform in some of the farthest outposts where they are greatly loved and respected by their fans. The Itals have been one of the forefront touring reggae acts since the early eighties spreading the message of love and oneness to humanity. You hear their music playing all over the world. Keith Porter has proven himself to be one of the strongest artists in the business. His endurance is remarkable; he “never gets weary”. The Itals are living examples of the “Rasta Philosophy” – the album that was nominated for the Grammies.

KAVA JAH, born Junior Johnson in Cumberland, Clarendon Parish, Jamaica is a conscious roots reggae artist who writes, records and sings his own songs. Born into a family with musical roots, Kava Jah’s father Levi Johnson was a teacher of music at the Spalding’s Comprehensive High School and he was the choir master at the Cumberland church. Levi was a spiritual leader in his community. Under the strong influence and example of his father, Kava Jah started playing instruments at a young age, practicing and playing multiple instruments. He soon found his love for the guitar as his first instrument and he has now also become quite accomplished on the keyboards.
