Clinton Fearon & Boogie Brown Band - Give And Take - 2004 - Jamaica

Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Brown hails out of Seattle, Washington nowadays, but the music he produces and offers comes straight from Jamaica. Give and Take, Mr. Fearon's latest release from the northwest, gives a modern day flavor from a recipe from yesteryear. Notable is the variety of styles that Mr. Fearon, a former member of The Gladiators band, offers, from the beautiful rocksteady inspired "Parable Sound", which makes one smile and remember The Ethiopians sweet melodies, to the playful and crying "Feel the Spirit" which gives the classical reggae beat that everyone seeks to find.

Infused throughout the album are sweet musical instrumentals that captivate the reggae mind and imagination. The Boogie Brown band has evolved into a sweet reggae machine with Clinton Fearon as the Captain commanding the way over snaky, twisting bass rhythms.

Mr. Fearon states in the repetitively hypnotic "Movin' Up", "In this world of competition, there is no recognition." Where this may speak some truth in our current societal system, it is just due to give him the recognition he deserves for putting out a great album. A very fine addition to any respectful reggae collection.

Terrakota - World Massala - 2010

In June 2010, Terrakota celebrated its 10th birthday with the avant-première of the documentary ‘On top of the world – Roadmovie of Terrakota in the Himalayas’ about the band’s adventures in India and with a big, three-hour long concert in Lisbon with a battery of guests. That same month, the bands first single of it’s upcoming fourth album came out, ‘World Massala’, a first product of the band’s trip to India. The single is a groundbreaking musical fusion that might never have been done before: Punjabi afro-reggae. Bridging the gap between India and Jamaica, but also between Rajasthani folk and classical India. While the gypsy musicians of Rajasthan Roots take care of the rhythm and give the song some authentic gypsy guts, the carnatic singers Mahesh Vinyakram and Bollywood-star Vasundhara Das take the song to new mystical heights.
The single announced the arrival of the fourth studio album, “WORLD MASSALA” (2010), recorded and produced and released in October 2010 by Ojo Música/Galileo Music Communication. On this new work, Terrakota keeps on mashing up frontiers to bring together music and people from around the world, expanding their musical horizons to Rajasthan, Angola, classical India, urban Cuba, and beyond. Terrakota’s Afro/world mestizo explosion now also has a proper term: world massala! World standing for world music and massala for the fusion, as massala is a mixture of species used a lot in Indian cuisine. The recipe? Bringing new innovative musical fusions without any fear of experiment, just jamming until you find a formula where ancient musical traditions embrace the 21st century.

Other than the Indian guests, the album includes recordings with the Angolan singer-songwriter Paulo Flores, the Cuban rapper Kumar and keyboard, bass and brass from the Lisbon-based funkband Cool Hipnoise. That song with brass is a powerful afrobeat, born in the wake of the band’s side-project, the KotaCool Afrobeat Orchestra, that has done some powerful gigs around Lisbon since 2009.

Scientist Meets The Roots Radics - Scientist Meets The Roots Radics - 1981 - Jamaica

Scientist Meets The Roots Radics - Scientist Meets The Roots Radics - 1981 - Jamaica

Brown (Scientist) was introduced to electronics by his father, who worked as a television and radio repair technician. He began building his own amplifiers and would buy transformers from Tubby's Dromilly Road studio, and while there would keep asking Tubby to give him a chance at mixing. He was taken on at Tubby's as an assistant, performing tasks such as winding transformer coils, and began working as a mixer in the mid-1970s, initially creating dubs of reworked Studio One riddims for Don Mais' Roots Tradition label, given his chance when Prince Jammy cut short a mixing session for Mais because he was too tired to continue. The first hit record that he mixed wasBarrington Levy's "Collie Weed".
He left King Tubby's studio at the end of the 1970s and became the principal engineer for Channel One Studio when hired by the Hoo Kim brothers, giving him the chance to work on a 16-track mixing desk rather than the four tracks at Tubby's.

He came to prominence in the early 1980s and produced many albums, his mixes featuring on many releases in the first part of the decade. In particular, he was the favourite engineer of Henry "Junjo" Lawes, for whom he mixed several albums featuring the Roots Radics, many based on tracks by Barrington Levy. He also did a lot of work for Linval Thompson and Jah Thomas. In 1982 he left Channel One to work at Tuff Gong studio as second engineer to Errol Brown. He then emigrated to the Washington, D.C. area in 1985, again to work in studios as a sound engineer.

Judy Mowatt - Only A Woman - 1982 - Jamaica

Judy Mowatt es una reconocida cantante de reggae. La carrera musical de Mowatt comenzó con el renacimiento de The Gaylettes, grupo que terminó convirtiéndose a finales de los 60 en uno de los referentes de la isla. De esta primera etapa caben destacar los temas Silent River Runs Deep, el primer éxito nacional de la banda, Take a Chance On Me y numerosos cobres de bandas de soul y r&b americano como Stevie Wonder, Dusty Springfield o Young Rascals. La repentina marcha de las otras dos integrantes de The Gaylettes, Beryl Lawson y Merle Clemenson, dejó a Judy en la estacada, a la vez que totalmente libre para comenzar, aunque no por mucho tiempo, su carrera en solitario. En esta época graba numerosas versiones de grupos americanos y dos nuevos éxitos bajo el seudónimo de Julianne: In Paradise y The Gardener.

Dos años más tarde, en 1974, Judy se asocia con Rita Marley y Marcia Griffiths para formar I- Threes. El grupo cosecha muy buenas críticas y Marley, que buscaba un repuesto en los coros de The Wailers tras la marcha de Peter Tosh y Bunny Wailer, las suma a su banda para colaborar en sus álbumes.

El contacto con el Rey del Reggae hizo que Mowatt adoptara la doctrina Rastafari y se uniese a las Doce Tribus de Israel. Fruto de este cambio nacen composiciones como Black Woman, Many Are Called y Slave Queen, que formarán parte de su segundo LP como solista: Black Woman.

Recomendadísimo trabajo de Judy Mowatt. Precioso registro alto de voz y unos fraseos gospel denotan esta descarga de experiencia y aprendizaje por parte de Judy. 

Tracks

You're My People
Only A Woman
Trade Winds

Judy Mowatt - Black Woman - 1980 - Jamaica

Una de las 3 coristas de I-Threes (coristas que acompañaron a Marley junto a The Wailers) quien tuvo una gran participación en la escena del reggae tanto en los 70 como en los 80. Su voz condimentó trabajos de Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Big Youth, Pablo Moses, Freddie McGregor, U-Roy, and the Wailing Souls. El pequeño salto de Judy llegó cuando Marcia Griffiths le propuso grabar con ella arreglos para una canción de Bob Andy en Studio One en 1974 para, consecuentemente, conocer a Rita Marley y formar The I-Threes. Con este álbum solista sumando Only A Woman (1982) encontramos a una cantante llena de líricas de contenido religioso y de defensa a la mujer, con dulces armonías y excelentes bases tocadas por excelentes músicos, en este disco encontramos a Chinna Smith, Harold Butler, Steven Coore, Freddie McGregor.

Slave Queen

Third World - Journey To Addis - 1978 - Jamaica

A mi criterio, una de las mejores bandas a la hora de interpretar un reggae fusionado con la música soul. Este es un gran disco, la creación de diferentes climas es un logro que no ha de pasar desapercibido. Excelentes líneas de bajo y composiciones vocales en temas como Rejoice, Cool Meditation y Fret Not Theyself por nombrar algunas. Metiéndonos un poco más profundo en los años venideros al disco tenemos al cover que encontramos, Now That We Found Love de O'Jays consiguendo estar en el Top Ten de los American R&B en 1979 asi como también en el Britisth pop Top Ten en ese mismo año. El simple 'Cool Meditation' llegó al Top 20 británico.

Tracks

One Cold Vibe (Couldn't Stop Dis Ya Boogie)
Cold Sweat
Cool Meditation
African Woman
Now That We Found Love

Calypso - Vintage Songs From the Caribbean - 2002

Calypso (2002) es una colección de Putumayo que recoge clásicos del Calipso y canciones populares de la era dorada de la música caribeña.

En los años 50, el calipso y otros estilos folclóricos caribeños tuvieron repercusión internacional, tras el lanzamiento de "Calypso" de Harry Belafonte en 1956, uno de los discos más vendidos de la historia. A partir de entonces, artistas de Barbados, Trinidad, las Bahamas, Jamaica y otras islas del Caribe se interesaron en esta nueva audiencia. Fue así que los ritmos, las melodías pegadizas y las letras con doble sentido propias de la música caribeña llegaron a millones de hogares norteamericanos.

El presente álbum nos trae una selección de clásicos de la legendaria ART Records, así como otras joyas de diversos períodos de la historia musical caribeña. Calypso nos remonta medio siglo atrás, a una romántica era que parecía haber estado perdida en el tiempo.

Tracks list:
01. Don't Touch Me Tomato - George Symonette - Bahamas
02. Yes, Yes, Yes - Calypso Mama - Bahamas
03. Take Me Back To Jamaica - The Jolly Boys - Jamaica
04. Crazy Like Mad - Leslie Scott & Irene Williams - Bahamas
05. Peas And Rice - Blind Blake And His Royal Victorians - Bahamas
