SUMMARY:Dread Mar I - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDread Mar-I is a charting\, best-selling Argentin
 e reggae singer\, songwriter\, and bandleader. His sensual\, passionate vo
 cal delivery ranges over a style that combines deep roots reggae with the 
 sweetness of lovers rock. Dread was born Mariano Javier Castro in Quequén
 \, Argentina in January of 1978. When he was seven years old\, his family 
 moved to Maipú\, a suburb of Buenos Aires. Besides going to school\, he w
 orked in his father's bakery. His interest in music\, reggae\, and Rastafa
 rianism in particular came about during these tender years\, as he heard 
 Bob Marley's music in the neighborhood. He graduated high school and worke
 d\, honing his musical chops at night.\nHis first professional gig was as 
 lead singer of the Reggae Messengers. After three years\, Dread put togeth
 er a band and went solo. His debut album\, Jah Guia\, was initially issued
  independently\, but garnered wide attention when a couple of enterprising
  DJs decided to play it. His gigs got larger and soon the major labels cam
 e calling. Sony/BMG signed him and reissued Jah Guia across Latin Americ
 a in 2006. Sales were better than anyone expected. He was asked by renowne
 d reggae big band Los Cafres to be a stable opener for them (and sing in
  their backing chorus)\, including a massive show at Luna Park\, which gre
 atly expanded the singer's profile. Later that year he and his band perfor
 med at the first annual Bob Marley Day festival at Luna Park with the W
 ailers and Peter Tosh Band. Working with Los Cafres and headlining his 
 own gigs had their advantages\; because of the attention -- and the money 
 -- he was able to record a second album with his own band\, Los Guerreros 
 del Rey. It was released in 2007. The following year\, with the release of
  the album Amor-es\, Dread became an in-demand attraction. He played 70-pl
 us shows nationally and toured abroad as well. By the time he released Viv
 í en Do in 2010\, he was the most popular reggae singer in Argentina\, an
 d had established an international following that reached across most of L
 atin America.\nHis reputation also extended into the Caribbean: 2011's Tra
 nquilo was a collaborative album with no less a talent than Jamaica's Luc
 iano. With his new backing band\, Warriors of the King\, he took his show 
 to Mexico and the United States. In late 2011 and early 2012\, Dread worke
 d at Panda and TAMS studios and delivered Transparente\, a record that too
 k him onto the streaming charts in the reggae\, tropical\, and Latin categ
 ories. It also revealed his increasing studio savvy -- he mixed it himself
 . Its success also made his Luna Park shows all but impossible to get into
 \; tickets sold out months in advance. He went back to the studio and issu
 ed the hit single "Nada" (backed by a Jamaican chorus) in early 2014. He f
 ollowed it with the video single "No Te Asustes Ahora\," which netted hund
 reds of thousands of views in its first weeks on YouTube. As a result\, th
 e 17-song full-length En el Sendero went gold.\nIn 2016\, Dread celebrated
  his tenth anniversary as a recording artist with a show at the massive El
  Planetario in Palermo\, Buenos Aires. The price of admission was donation
 s of food\, clothing\, or cash for the homeless. An expansive audio-video 
 package entitled 10 Anos -- featuring both new and catalog songs as well a
 s a documentary -- was released and climbed the streaming and download cha
 rts. The recording also featured the studio track "Hoja en Blanco\," a rev
 isioned vallenato standard. A demo version of it appeared on the artist's 
 Facebook page and garnered over five million views. ~ Thom Jurek\, Rovi\n\
