Malika “MotherSista” Madremana is honored to introduce herself in representation of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I and of all freedom fighters in the liberation struggle. Malika Madremana is a Puerto Rican sista, born in New York City yet transported to California, who has spent a lifetime on stage. Since the age of four, Malika has been singing and dancing in musicals and choirs. As a teen, she entered Performing Arts School to pursue voice. It was at this age that Malika was manifesting a strong consciousness against the system and its wrongdoings. Rastafari manifested in her life shortly after- and reggae music had the greatest impact and influence upon her life ever since. Heavily influenced by the legends such as Bob Marley, the I-three’s, Abyssinians, Hugh Mundell, Jacob Miller, etc… she began writing and composing songs. Malika officially began her baptism into the reggae field as a background singer and vocal arranger for a number of prominent and heartical artists. She has toured, recorded, and performed abroad and internationally with legends such as:
	Wadi Gad, Yami Bolo, Apple Gabriel, the Mighty Diamonds, Bushman, Blaaklung, Roots Natty, Ras Attitude, Batch, Roots Natty, and Groundation among many others. Malika has performed as numerous festivals and shows including the Raggamuffin Festival in Long Beach, the Sierra Nevada Music Festival, Bob Marley Day, Dreadstock, and the Monterey Reggae Festival. Livicated to the power of the music and the potential of the stage, Malika began her first album project in 2002 with the talents of producer/artist Blaaklung (GreenSphere Records). Their efforts manifested in the album “Healing”, made up of 15 tracks of roots, dancehall, lover’s rock, and rockers cuts that established her as a song writer and an upcoming artist to watch. Malika Madremana is pleased to bring forth her newest release “Elixir” out of GreenSphere Records/Madremana Music. This work was a blessed collaboration of talents and levity including the production of Blaaklung and the tributions of artists Batch, Tuff Lion, Vince Black, Kenyatta Itola, Ras Attitude, and Empress Isheba. Staying true to her roots foundation, Elixir shows an evolution in Malika’s word sound power that is only just beginning to form…Malika wrote and co-produced 16 tracks of conscious Rastafari message and heavy roots riddims with uplifting lyrics that are intended to educate, as well as heal the nation.
