- By the early 2000s Nasio Fontaine emerged as one of the biggest reggae artistes on the planet after two decades in the music business. But after releasing his masterpiece album Universal Cry in 2006, he mysterious dropped out of the spotlight and stopped releasing music. This video sheds light on what really happened to the Dominican superstar

Yes my people my brother and friend Nasio.I am Ras Digital the drummer in the Album Living in the Positive his music 🎵🎵 is timeless.. Love and respect every time to our brother Nasio.Jah guide...
Word is that Nasio, was scared off by some people who felt that he was intruding on the Marley's legacy. Nasio Fontiane, is the greatest reggae artist alive today. Eventhough he is not on the stage, he should still produce his albums. Just as Bob Marely, any song nasio sang, has a meaning, and vibrant music presentation!
Heard that too a while back. Maybe worth looking into.
Greatest alive today? Wow bro
Wow, I didn't know that, I heard him for the first time singing the song bondage and I couldn't get it out of my mind, I thought I heard bob Marley.
Greatest Reggae Artist?! 🤔
It is SAFE as well as correct ● to say that Nasio artist IS● one of the greatest Reggae Arrtist alive today when it comes to pure reggae, delivery, pure messages in soungs in regards to freedom fighting, love, nature , Revolution etc...
● It is NOT about the number of hits music, the media and social media songs .... but HOW● THE MUSIC 🎶 HITS● THE SOUL... and the timeless● message IN THE MUSIC ❤ and the HONEY 🍯 in his voice●
Wow! I haven't heard his music in sooo long. I am going to binge listen to some of his songs now. Great Reggae Artist. Nasio Fontaine and the late great Akae Beka of midnight are 2 of the greatest Reggae Artist outside of Jamaica.
Akae Beka ❤🙏🏿
Don't forget Meta Dia, from Meta and the cornerstones! He is one of the biggest right now with an amazing voice..check him out
@@faraazhoeseni9273 I will definitely check out this reggae band. Never heard of them.
I saw Nasio Fountaine, perform at the great Apollo theater, in Harlem, New York City, in the 1980s. There were two top reggae artists on that show too. Nasio Fountain, performed first. When the next well known performer took the stage to perform, the first thing he said on the microphone, that there can be only one Bob Marley.
When the third performer took the stage, who was Joseph Hill, of the culture reggae band, he said he love Nasio Fountaine, like his home cook food. He saw the fight Nasio was going through, because of his talent. Rest in peace Joseph Hill.
Joseph 'Culture' Hill (bless his soul) had always been a man of truth and justice. Very much like him not to let such a 'diss' slide. Thanks for sharing, John.

Real Rasta, respect.. his music may live forever..
Please Please try to meet up with him an interview him.i miss this reggae artist so much he is a true reggae artist. Love love his music the world needs him now
One of the most conscious roots reggae artists out there! I started listening to him back in 2004 when I was still in high school. We didn't have access to the Internet those times, so it was still radio cassettes. I memorised all the songs in 'Reggae Power' and 'Living in the Positive' albums. I discovered 'Universal Cry' and 'Reggae Power' around 2008. Although, 'Reggae Power' is his 1st album in 1994.
Nasio's reggae artistry is quite different. He touched on various topics, love, peace, revolution, suffering, politics, Pan-Africanism, repatriations, and self- reflection. I love all his albums. One of the top 10 reggae artists in my book! Blessed love from Solomon Islands 🇸🇧💯🙏🏾
Research well done. The Lion is in the hills living a quiet life but meaningful life.
I hope he comes back and Do more reggae again
when i first saw Nasio perform in 2000ish i thought he was going to be the next bob marley. his presence was tangible. i was a reggae promoter at the time and booked many stars. Nasio stood out.
Big Up All Dominicans,,And Native Amerindians Still in Existence,, Due to resistance,,Big Up Nasio,,, Blessed Love Rastafari,, 🇱🇨👊🏽🇯🇲👍🏽❤️
Raspect to Nasio! A true rootsman.
Met him once in the early 90 in NYC, he invited me to come to a show he was doing ,but I couldn't make it,cool and humble brethren,I love his music.
his song "living in the positive" use to play everyday on a popular radio station here in Jamaica during a daily talk show program the song use to play before they show starts and during breaks that's how I knew of him..i currently have many of his song in my phone playlist
I would go to Dominica JUST to meet him✅💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some people prioritise the important things in life.
Other prioritise being important.
Please do a show in DA, my children and i meet you at the DA airport over 20 yrs ago. YOU are one of the best my brother.
Just because Nasio is not Jamaican, he's treated with scant courtesy. But Nasio always move in the positive.
I know Nasio from StMaarten
Always loved his voice full of soul and passion
❤❤
I just love his reggae taste, so original.
Gratitude and honor for sharing this information and video Nasio's music rocked nations universally. What a great relief to know that he is indeed living in the positive.
Yes‼️
His dominicas bob marley our baddest reggae artise.🫡🫡💯👍🫵
Yeah Jamaican or not the man's music and voice is golden.
He is here in Dominica
@@kendeldurand7786 am Jamaican, and I have listened to his music and as I said his voice and songs are definitely golden...and hope he in the Dominica, taking it easy just to come back with some more tunes.reggae music is for the world, Bob's Marley, mission was to unite the world with music...so nasio fontina,was also called to carry on that legacy.
I truly hope so. He is on the mountain top living a really quiet , peaceful and private life
@@kendeldurand7786 blessed, that's definitely the best life.
A great artist glad he is doinf well
I can remember when I a little boy seeing Nasio Fontaine and his friends hanging around Philipsburg (aka Town) St. Maarten. He would always have his guitar with him. One of his hang out spots was on the back steps of the Church Of God building on Back street Philipsburg. Sometimes he would be there all day picking of his guitar and singing. I can also remember him being always friendly to everyone. Hope to see him again one of these days.
I no and remember these goodd old days.
I also witness the excistance
Sunny shine city the friendly island of the Carribbean..
Now known as SXM .
It seems like he’s verbatim comparable to Bob Marley. Except he picked up on the things Bob was lacking. He gave back to his community and dedicated the time he needed to in order to let his family live a normal life. All this while sending his message to the world. He lived every reggae listeners dream and solidified his place in Global history. Glad to hear that he’s keeping his balance!
What a talent ❤ we miss & love you more each day Nasio 💙👊🏾
15:41 BLESSINGS TO THE BROTHER, AND STAY WITH THE MOST HIGH YAH!!!

I was fortunate to see Nasio perform at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in Northern California in 2006. I think that’s footage of that performance at 5:30. Happy to hear Nasio is in good health and living well with family.
U were fortunate✅💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
he's on his farm in the heights of Warner in Dominica, his homeland!
How do you know and why did he stop recording and touring
@@Rootsmanskanking maybe because i am from the same island and work in the community where he lives... as for the touring and recording question, he's the one that can answer those questions.
One of best artist

I saw him about twenty Years ago in America. I was in New York, in midtown Manhattan, on the block where one of Sam Ash's musical instruments stores are located. We hailed each other. He was heading towards sixth Avenue and I was heading towards Seventh Avenue/Broadway direction. ( He was heading Eastward and I was heading Westward.)
Thanks for your post and information.
It's been greatly welcomed and appreci-loved.
That's art sometimes it pull you in and you must know how far you can go.As we can see a lot didn't know there limit's happy he did.Your work will live on my brother i'm sure he's reading this Thank you

Jah Bless ❤️💛💚
Let me take a bow myself for having introduced Nasio's music to several Yardies from the early 1990's. Solid then, solid now. Glad to know it's his decision to step away and move on to another passion.

Dominica, beautiful place I've visited many many years back. The only island where a large community of Caribs still exists. Big up and nuff Raspect
They don't like to be called 'Caribs' anymore. Its more socially acceptable to call them Kalinagos
Incredible story, thanks for sharing n' God bless brother

Hopefully writing music this whole time. Mad respect brotha nasio ✊️
So disappointed that his music is not on Spotify. I have universal cry on CD, and hypocrites is in my top 5 all time reggae songs, and it can't be streamed. :(
Great video from the Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸❤
I loved his music.
My family definitely underated
Ohh he was my fathers good friend , i remember i was introduced to him by my rasta father
I would be more then happy if he just released acoustic songs on TH-cam.
Nasio Jamaica love yuh bigup mi boss
Big up rubber man dominica
Domanica land off many rivers water and sea
thanks 🙏
One blood
He is a live and well living in our homeland Commonwealth of Dominica
Nasio Fontaine is "living in the positive"... He doesn't want to get caught up in the "big apple"
Excellent... Nice one.
I live in the Commonwealth of Dominica, with my husband who is from there. In fact, my husband has the same mixture as him - his father was Kalinago and his mother African descent. He also has locs and is a musician. My husband knows him; he's retired from music and chilling on his impressive land, taking part in agriculture. I've met him on many occasions in Warner. A nice humble brother.
A true legend who puts his money where his mouth is. Like LKJ
Y'all dunno ? He says it in his song.
"I DIDN'T TAKE THE DEAL" ..you all do not get the hint.?
The music industry ain't all it's cut out to be
.There are certain things they want you to do for fame .
Shalom

I thought this man was Jamaican .
May Allah guide him into Islam ameen
May Jah guide you into rastafarianism
@@kerubel1436 Rastafarianism is not the right religion Rastafarianism started in few years back. Islam is the only right religion on earth 🌎. We worship none but the one who created us all common sense. Read the Quran and see things for yourself InsahAllah
@@bakary333 I am too civilized to read the quuraan
@@kerubel1436 Then tell me what do you read talk to me.
All Hail Nasio …Rastafari lives in the heart of man..
