Smokin’ Hot Katchafire
As a reggae band, Big Mountain became very successful in introducing reggae music in the American mainstream in 1991. The band's popularity became even greater as they were chosen to feature the official soundtrack of the movie “Reality Bites” later that year. The cover of Peter Frampton's “Baby, I Love Your Way” jump-started their career as it reached the Top Ten Billboard and UK Singles Chart in 1994. The band's repertoire may often be mistakenly credited to UB40 - a popular British reggae band, or the legendary reggae icon – Bob Marley, Big Mountain is set apart from other reggae artists with its great vocal, guitar licks, and pure Jamaican talent. Rainbow Warriors – the band's original name, was formed in San Diego, California. The members who pioneered the band lineup were Joaquin “Quino” McWhinney – vocals, Jerome Cruz – rhythm guitars, and drummers Lance Rhodes and Gregory Blakney. Tony Chin and Santa Davis – great reggae artists, later joined the band. Alt
