NIGERIAN REGGAE SUPERSTAR
VICTOR ESSIET AND THE MANDATORS

ALL-NEW CD ONE LOVE ONE WORLD IN STORES NOW
PRODUCED BY GRAMMY-WINNING REGGAE LEGENDS
SLY & ROBBIE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (Los Angeles, CA) - Nigerian Reggae superstar,
Victor Essiet, will release his long awaited new studio CD ONE LOVE
ONE WORLD on July 4th. It boasts the talents of Jamaican
Grammy-winning duo Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, whose creative
fusion is respected and sought after by artists of every musical genre.
The albums 18 tracks include two infectious Marley covers, "Dem Belly
Full" and "Mi Friends (Duppy Conqueror)," in riveting, respectful and
revelatory new versions. "You have to be really good to cover Marley
tracks," said reggae historian Roger Steffens, upon hearing the songs,
"and Victor really nails them beautifully." "Conscious Party's"
bouncy, catchy beat will definitely keep the party rockin', while
"Care" reflects the spirituality of the artist. "Belly Full" and other
tracks, including late-60s Jamaican classic "Come Back Darling" and "Mi
Friends (Duppy Conqueror)," as well as other great songs on this 18
track album, round out this winning production of diverse sounds.

A music video for "Conscious Party," the album's first single has been
filmed already by the prestigious production company, The Mine enjoying
rotation on HYPE TV and RETV in Jamaica and outlets in North America.
Two other videos for the upcoming singles "Stand Up" and "Inflation"
were shot in June with acclaimed director, Nordia Rose, in Jamaica.
Always focused on perfection and substance rather than hype, Victor
knows for certain that "music is a vehicle for positive messages."

Already an established star in his African homeland, with an
award-winning platinum album and stadium size sell-out concerts, the
award-winning Essiet sought asylum from the dire political turmoil in
his home country, and established an impressive presence in America and
Europe in the late '90s.

The international kick-off concert for the ONE LOVE ONE WORLD album was
recently in Los Angeles at the world-famous ROXY THEATRE in West
Hollywood, CA. The same stage where Reggae icons, Bob Marley and The
Wailers and Peter Tosh made musical history. Victor Essiet and The
Mandators were joined on stage by album producers and legendary
Jamaican drum and bass duo - Sly & Robbie.

Victor and his band will be touring the US and Canada this summer and
has been added to the prestigious line-up of Reggae Sunsplash in Ocho
Rios, Jamaica on Friday, August 4th. A highly anticipated homecoming
tour in Nigeria and a number of African countries were Victor will play
to stadium size crowds wrapping up 2006 for the band in November and
December.
