Vaulted Jimi Hendrix and the Ghetto Fighters(TM) Material to Be Released
Last update: 1:22 p.m. EDT Sept. 17, 2008
NEW YORK, NY, Sep 17, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
After almost 40 years in the vault, the never before heard or seen multimedia material produced by Jimi Hendrix and the Ghetto Fighters(TM) is being readied for release and licensing through a subsidiary of the we-R-you Corporation (PINKSHEETS: WERU), the technology, software and multimedia company. The previously unreleased material was produced by Jimi Hendrix, Arthur Allen and Albert Allen aka TaharQa Aleem and Tunde Ra
Aleem, the 3 principals of Jimi Hendrix and the Ghetto Fighters, and
will be made available globally through a wholly owned subsidiary of the
we-R-you Corporation formed with the Aleem Brothers to bring these
projects to market. The Aleems and Jimi Hendrix made up the members of
the group and are the originators of the material. The Aleems first met
and began working with Jimi Hendrix in the mid 1960s and together
recorded three Hendrix albums, "Cry of Love," "Rainbow Bridge" and "War
Heroes."
The newly released material includes previously unheard recordings, a
feature length movie script, a full length autobiography, a series of
animated short stories for TV and the web, and drawings by Hendrix of
himself as an illustrated character, which in today's virtual reality
world would be known as an avatar. "Jimi was a true visionary,"
according to TaharQa Aleem, "whose creativity went far beyond music. He
saw the future and while he may not have understood computers or known
about digital technology and virtual worlds, he knew that things like
this were coming and created material that would work in that world."
Added brother Tunde Ra, "Jimi might not have known what an avatar was,
but he foresaw a day when we would all have representations of ourselves
that could move in different worlds. When you see his original sketches
of himself and create a real avatar out of them using today's
technology, the result is amazing." The Ghetto Fighters were formed in
1970 by Jimi and the Aleem Brothers (who are identical twins) to explore
new projects that would go beyond the work Jimi had been doing and
expand the sounds he was working with. "The music and material sounds
brand new," according to TaharQa, "and for all intents and purposes it
is. It'll surprise and delight current fans and new ones to come."
"The material will be released in segments," according to Allen
LeWinter, Chief Branding and Marketing Officer of we-R-you, who is
heading up the project. "It's like finding more treasure than you could
have imagined and realizing that each element needs to be released in
its own time and way," continued LeWinter. "The Aleems are incredibly
talented and incredibly protective at the same time and want to ensure
that this is done just right for the legacy of Jimi Hendrix and The
Ghetto Fighters." The Aleems and all the rights were first brought to
we-R-you through the efforts of Spydo Mobile and its principal, Duane
"Spyder" Hughes. Spyder recognized the changing face of the
entertainment business and brought the Aleems to we-R-you for an "all in
one deal."
About The Aleem Brothers
Tunde Ra and TaharQa Aleem began their careers working with the greats
of rhythm & blues such as Sam Cook, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Big
Maybelle, Bobby Womack, Clarence "Blowfly" Reid and many others.
Learning the inner workings of the music industry through their
association with Harlem legend Fat Jack Taylor, owner of the independent
label Ro-Jack Records, TaharQa and Tunde Ra would later establish the
famous Harlem World club with Taylor, which proved to be a spawning
ground for a large number of pioneer rap acts. While working with
Ro-Jack Records the Aleems first met Jimi Hendrix while Jimi was still a
sideman playing and touring with Little Richard, the Isley Brothers and
others. Soon after, Jimi, TaharQa and Tunde Ra shared an apartment in
Manhattan's Park West Village and formed a bond which would indelibly
shape the brothers' as well as Jimi's life and career.
