He is coming to Ljubljana Otto Tilmann, much better known as Gentleman. The star of the European reggae scene is coming to Slovenia again after several years. He will present to us the studio album Diversity released last year. He was accompanied by The Evolution, a kind of transformation of his Far East Band. He is already in his teenage years discovered Jamaica and fell in love with its casual rhythm and the message of the lyrics. Jamaica is his second home and creative environment. He started his musical journey at the end of the nineties by participating in the group Freundeskreis, with which he recorded the song Tabula Rasa. His debut album Trodin On marked the beginning of a new reggae scene in Germany. His second major record, Journey To Jah, featured guest appearances by prominent musicians such as Luciano, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Mikey General, Junior Kelly and Morgan Heritage. With their help, Gentleman created his own recognizable musical expression, which is an innovative mix of energetic dancehall and roots rhythms with admixtures of modern genres. International recognition and awards followed. His latest product, Diversity, is top notch. It is characterized by a creative style with an abundance of beautiful melodies with an emphasis on genre variety and diversity. The collection of songs offers us an interesting fusion of roots reggae and dancehall and various styles from European dancebeat, hip hop, soft rock, soul, R&B to acoustic ballads. The texts look critically at the problems of our everyday life. To religious intolerance, destruction of the environment, growing poverty... They call for mutual respect and tolerance, awareness, exploration of the psyche and spirituality, and among them we can also find emotional personal confessions. Known for his incredible charisma, he will surely give us a concert that will inspire us.
