[Music] International Reggae Day.

[Muhammed - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Apparently this is a thing.

I’m dreading it

Near the top of my wants list for several years now...

Anybody else read Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley?.
Fascinating writing about the very early days of Sound Systems....
ever wondered what got played back then?.
this rarity comes from 1952 iirc, and works well in a Ska /Boss set, later versioned by Delroy Wilson as ' Drink Wine Everybody ' ,

Never read it, no. Sounds like a good read.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

This has been a great thread - don’t think I’ve seen this one yet

 

[BrianB]

One last classic from 1976. I believe that's Jerry Maytal of Toots fame. Enjoy x

Liking it!

Apparently this is a thing. So in the spirit of these things, since I missed out on International Tuba Day, here's your chance to post your favourite Reggae tunes to mark the occasion.

Given the theme is apparently 80's /90's influential dancehall, I'll kick off with this classic. Ticking all the right boxes:

Year: 1985.
Producer/label: Jammy's.
Riddim: Sleng Teng.

lucky enough to have been living in NYC when a new reggae shop opened up in chinatown that specialized in digital tunes. (https://www.instagram.com/deadlydragonsound) they threw a lot of great parties and frequently had the veteran singers, djs, and selectors pass through. johnnie osbourne was pretty frequent and always sounded top notch and a was a great person. this was around the time massive b re-did truths and rights and that tune would bring the place down. anyway this is my favorite jonnie osbourne tune. happy to see so many proper reggae fans on here

Linking Alton Ellis... Our man Algoriddim has stretched and given air to one of the greatest tunes ever !.

Just added this to a playlist.

[Bob!]

Thought I'd throw some more poetry in

Mi cyaan believe it.

Since worldwide The Wailers are obviously the most widely known Reggae band, let's give thanks to the I Threes and their own solo contributions to this beautiful music.

Loads of classics to choose from, but I'll go with these for now...

I love that although I have to say that I still struggle to understand all of the patwah, despite my relatively ok knowledge of reggae and Jamaica in general

Linking Johnny Clarke ...
1974 the first time I heard him was on this recording , also the new ' flying cymbal ' sound and as country boy at the time - what was Babylon referring too?
