Product Description

'False Crack Babylon' is Red Eye & I's first album ever created by 3 brothers from the island of Oahu, Hawaii. From local Hawaiian influences to South Pacific, all over the USA, Africa, Carribean and back to Polynesia Red Eye & I has been influenced and was able to create a unique blend of reggae comparable to Jamaican reggae. Kai's influences come from school where he took up Polynesian music and also from his parents who both sing. Kapena, his older brother has also been a huge influence on Kai's approach to the arts and performance. Growing up, Kai listened to traditional and more contemporary Hawaiian music, reggae like Steel Pulse, popular Motown artists and The Beatles. Aeneas has a rock and blues background in guitar he also says he likes a lot of other types of music such as hip hop and reggae. Aeneas listens to anything from Jimi Hendrix to Jay -Z to Katchafire, New Zealand reggae. On this album he plays the bass. Whit embraces many styles of percussion/drumming, but his favorites styles of drumming are gospel, african, carribbean and polynesian. With a fresh palette of world beats he chooses his tempo and groove carefully to make people feel like dancing. 'Our music is defnitely based on Jamaican reggae. We are always trying to create a new sound, but we never forget where we come from,' says Whit.
