Love Eternal: Reviews

“Blessed blessed creation...” Homegrown from the forest and ocean areas of Santa Cruz, CA comes a band ripe and ready to share their blessings. The band Love Eternal manifests the etherial while floating roots-reggae past your head. What is that resonating soft warm jasmine breeze swirling through your dreads? It may just be the melodic vibrations of Love Eternal and their transcendent album “Family.” The melodies and vocals on the first track “Love Jah” invokes Irie melting effects on your being. Each song on their CD is like a Jamaican lullaby tapping into your spirit, elevating your soul toward unlimited Godly potential.

“Made for the great outdoors and to be played so the clouds can hear it”

Love Eternal with psychedelic guitars in tow and lovely breathy vocals, is a unique band singing out unified spirit. With music as their guiding tool, they spread more love around than hate exists on the Earth. Their reggae style is earthy and organic. Sometimes it makes you want to sit back and reflect and other times get up and jump in euphoria. Their album’s bouncy reggae style is a sunny day pleasure. Made for the great outdoors and to be played so the clouds can hear it, “Family” offers Caribbean styles mixed with traditional festival originals from the Islands. Teaching the word of Truth, Love Eternal is a harmonic, mellow, groovy group of singers and musicians, that can make a night under the stars magical.

Irrefutable Reggae
LOVE ETERNAL AT THE LAVA LOUNGEApr 07, 2005
By Mark C. Anderson
Plenty of bands do the dreadlock and rasta thing convincingly enough to qualify themselves as a reggae band. Extremely rare along this sound spectrum is a group like Love Eternal, so deeply committed to the redemptive and healing power of devotional reggae that describing their butt-length natties and slyly smiling eyes is a disservice. These five artists exist to commune and create and can prove it, with both their lifestyle—they live together under the redwoods in Santa Cruz raising their kids and crafting their music as a group—and their music. The magnetically interwoven lyrics of Shawna and Jahred Namaste move with such an airy reverence for subjects like giving, creation and love that listeners can’t help but feel hopeful; meanwhile, Kris “Tafari” Smith amplifies their uplifting energy with fluid rhythms that make movement irresistible.
9:30pm/doors open; 10:30pm/show. Lava Lounge inside Club Octane, 321D Alvarado St., Monterey. Free. 646-9244 or "http://www.loveeternal.org".

Jahred, umm..WOW you guys are good. Really good. Are you on a label and all that cause you sound real together. The songs made me feel nostalgic for the days I use to listen to Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff. It must be so much fun to go see your band play out. The songs remind me of magic that hangs in the air. Really really good work. It must be very rewarding to be part of something so great. And you tour?

I have been at your last 3 shows in a row and I am hooked. Shawna, you are so inspiring. Just watching you dance and hearing your soulful voice keeps me going all week long. Thank you so much for your music and loving attitude. You have made a big difference in my life and have inspired me to make some changes and to do some new activities that I have been wanting to do but was just being lazy. I know have that motivationd and drive thanks to you. i have been inviting all my friends to your shows with me. My best friend has been to all three with me and I have also brought 5 other friends with me to your show at Moe's Alley. They all loved it and had a really good time. I bought both of your cd's and I also bought some extra ones to give to my friends. Plus some of my friends bought some cd's from the other bands that were at Moe's because they liked them so much. I am so excited to share your music with people, it's a gift! I would also like to offer my help to you to volunteer to pass out flyers or put them up or do promotional services free for the band to ecourage people to check you out. Let me know if you would like me to do that. I would be more than happy to support you however I can.Either way I'll see you at the Brookdale Lodge for your show. Much Love,
Love Cherri

Just wanted you to know that I had your CD in with about a hundred others that get played during my class. The clerks change them whenever they want and the player holds
seven CDs. They found yours and have been playing it over and over. It has been in the
machine for quite a while now. They didn't know you had an InnerLight connection until
I told them yesterday.
Hope all is well with you.
Love,

Listening

Forgiveness
Love Eternal | OmMamaOm Productions

“Peaceful” is one of those songs I played over and over again as it brought me not only a sense of peace but also unrelenting joy. Jahred Namasté has once again scored in his third album entitled Forgiveness, which is a melodic arrangement of positive upbeat reggae that seems to invite one to head to the beach or mountains and experience the oneness that surrounds and unites us all. Love Eternal is an exceptional mix of musicians whose message is one of finding truth through love offered in a devotional reggae style that is seductive in its beat and profound in their powerful lyrics. A musical prayer affirming the beauty found by living in truth with our family, friends and respect for all sentient beings. Love External's rhythmic reggae style is an everyday pleasure. Their message is simple: “Love Eternal is a collective of musicians dedicated to music as ministry. We see the power of sound vibration and lyrical content, and choose to use it to uplift and heal. We believe that what you focus on grows, therefore our music and message is positive and affirmative of what we want to see. We honor all paths, teachings, and traditions that encourage Oneness with the Divine, each other, and the Planet.” For more information or to order copies visit www.loveeternal.org, or contact loveeternal@wildmail.com -SLM
