Ini kamoze tour
- •
Ini Kamoze (born 9 October 1957 in Port Maria, St. Mary, Jamaica) is one of the few raggamuffin performers to have been successful both in roots reggae and the modern style.
By 1988, however, Ini Kamoze had effectively disappeared from the music scene following lukewarm reactions to his intermittent releases.
In 1994, Kamoze burst back onto the scene with a harder sound and the song which would become his signature - "Here Comes The Hotstepper". Adopting his nickname from the song title, Kamoze would become known as the "Hotstepper", from the Patois for a man on the run from the law. The infectious song found its way onto several soundtracks, including the fashion-industry satire, "Prêt-à-Porter". The resulting video featured a much more solid Kamoze and the obligatory scantily-clad women for this genre of music. "Hotstepper" still remains one of dancehall's more well-known hits, with its call-and-response chorus of "Here come de hotstepper - MURDERER (often misheard as "Word it up") - I'm de lyrical gangsta - MU

Born Cecil Campbell in a seaside shack in Jamaica on 9 October 1957, Ini Kamoze was the son of an authoritarian police superintendent dubbed “The Scorpion” and a factory worker mother. In a fit of anger over not hearing from his father, his mother placed the baby in a cardboard box and left him at the gate of another female acquaintance of his dad in Jones Town, a Kingston ghetto. The woman, Miss Ette, still claims him as her little son – according to inikamoze.com.
As a young boy, Kamoze went to live with his grandfather, where he showed great promise to become the doctor of the family. However, he dropped out of high school and hitchhiked to Kingston, where he hustled in the Bond Street area and took to the Rastafarian way of life. Years later, he would point to this as what saved him after asking an acquaintance from his old neighbourhood for seven youths he ran with and learned that six had met violent deaths.
Kamoze would visit the home of reggae icon Jimmy Cliff to eat ital food and talk about music. On one of these occasions, Kamoze told his friend Newton Me

Życiorys
[edytuj | edytuj kod]Pierwsze nagrania czarnoskórego wokalisty pojawiły się na początku lat 80. Wtedy nagrał przebojowy singel „Trouble You a Trouble Me” i regularnie koncertował z Yellowmanem i Half Pintem.
Jego eponimiczny album debiutancki wydany został w 1984 roku jako 6-ścieżkowy mini-LP (wytwórnia: Island Records). Płyta nagrana została wspólnie z – i wyprodukowana przez – duet Sly & Robbie[1].
Największym przebojem Kamoze z tego okresu obok „Call the Police” i „Taxi with Me”, był singel „Shocking Out” (1988). Po tym sukcesie muzyk zniknął ze sceny.
Kamoze powrócił dopiero w 1994 roku z nowym, wyrazistszym repertuarem i wszedł na listy przebojów z utworem „Here Comes the Hotstepper”, który po raz pierwszy ukazał się na składance reggae Stir It Up, a następnie znalazł się na ścieżce dźwiękowej do filmu Prêt-à-Porter[2].
