Culture to Culture: Happy Birthday Suga Roy!

Greetings!

 

 

For the past few weeks we've been exploring Joe

Gibbs via music, and the adventure continues a

little more.

 

In 1978, Joe Gibbs, along with Coxsone Dodd and

a few others produced the song "Jah Jah See Dem

Ah Come" which was performed by Joseph 'Culture'

Hill, becoming a Reggae anthem and a hit record

for the group Culture.

 

The chune was an instant hit because of the lyrics:

'jah jah see dem ah come / but I n I ah conqueror...'

The problems and challenges our Mother and Fathers

faced in their day, are no different than what their

parents faced, which is no different than what we

face today.  In the end, we conquer our problems

and trials; that's why we're here!

 

30 years later, the song was adapted to include

the vocals of Suga Roy & Conrad Crystal ft.

Gyptian and went to the #1 spot in England and

stayed on the charts for several weeks.  The remake

of the chune also gained the trio new fans who

appreciate Culture's music and legacy.

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Suga Roy & Conrad

Crystal ft. Gyptian and "Jah Jah See Dem Ah Come"

here (the original studio version from Culture, as

well as Culture performing the chune live are included

in the download pack).

 

P.S.  Happy Birthday to Suga Roy who celebrates

his birthday today, October 19th, 2010!

♠ HOTTTTT New Dancehall! ♠ Cyborg - Food Fih Share

Greetings!

 

As long as man has walked the earth, the one

issue that causes problems is that of greed.

It seems that some men / women can't get

enough of what they have, and want to take

what belongs to others.

 

Dancehall artist Cyborg has put this theme

to a Dancehall riddim and tells us that he

makes sure that everyone around him gets

food from the pot.  Indirectly, he encourages

listeners to act in the same way.  No one is

left out when tings ah gwaan!

 

Cyborg's chune "Food Fih Share" is certified

MADDDD.  Pree the punchline: 

 

From dih food fih share mek it share / nah sell

out none ah mih friends out there / ah Cy to the

borg and you know seh me need it / me nah

follow no fool an get greedy...

Dieselboy - N.V.D. Le Castlevania v. Club Remix (Electronica)

Famous Facers we have a first!  Dieselboy has submitted an electronica track for us to review, which ... well ... ummmm ... is different from the music that normally comes across our desk!

It took a pep talk, and some bravery on our part, but we're ready to share our review!

This track can easily be called "Control" as that's the one word repeated throughout the song.  The high energy of the beat combined with the song's subliminal message encouraging us to let go makes it a definite play in its genre of music.  We can see this / hear this playing at a rave, and can especially hear it  included in the soundtrack of a Matrix style movie, or rave scene in a movie ... maybe even in a video game.

The point is, the song is a good song.  Give in to your temptation, and preview / download the song by clicking the title below, and please, send us your feedback.  Let us know how we did as a first timer reviewing electronic music!

♠ World Music Premiere ♠ Jemini - World Peace...

Greetings!

 

Some of the most notable people who have fought,

or who fight for world peace include Pope John Paul

the second, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Ghandi and

the Dali Lama.  In their own way, they all contributed

to the re-thinking of war which always prompts the

question "is war really necessary?"

 

One of Canada's leading vocalists, Jemini, has launched

a peace campaign, and is taking a first step via song.

 

Making its debut to the network is her song "World

Peace" in which her punchline says 'the highway of

hero's is not the way home.'  Set to an R&B backdrop,

Jemini's voice sings from a soldiers wife's perspective,

and represents what many would like to see:  World Peace.

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Jemini's latest song

"World Peace" here:

 

P.S.  To all Canadians, Happy Thanksgiving!  :)
