Oriyah Music presents the EMPRESS MEDITATIONS West Coast Tour, a series of presentations featuring LIVE performances by QUEEN MAKEDAH, Sistah Beauty and Irae Divine with the SHEBA WARRIORS all-star band, plus the cream of local female DJ's, spoken word, and dance competitions. The purpose of the tour is to spotlight conscious female artists in reggae music whose music speaks to the historical cultural contributions of women from antiquity to the present day, and addresses issues pertinent to women and the family unit.
