Socialism is the solution to injustice some reggae singer say, and injustice is when some have all and some have none

Hello people,

Just a quick but important one tonight.
This tune here is quite rare but the lyrics are full of meaning and well worth applicable today.

And so it goes :

Some a hala, some a bawl
Some a jump, a jump for joy (x2)

The holly Bible show I man
Jah world was created for everyone
And that man should be free
And live in one harmony!

When I man check it out
Some thing seem to be going wrong
Some is having all
While others are having none

Some a them a walk with them hungry belly
While some a them have it plenty yeah
Jah Jah know that's no right
Every mouth should a get a bite!

I'm saying that...

Some a hala...

Killer nyabinghi cut!

Hello you all,

Today feature is a beautiful Nyabinghi cut by the great Light of Saba. 

I am not usually a big fan of Nyabibghi tunes as they are more "meditation" tunes than dance or social/political tunes and they often are played without bass or horns (pure drumming and voice).

This one is no exception but  like it since I was a teen and it features a bit of horns in the introduction and some bass and guitar and effects afterwards. As a result, for me,you can play this at Roots dances without problem and the pace is somehow quick enough to make you move your feet. 

The singing is about black liberation and sufferation on A-side, sounding as a lamentation, truly conscious stuff asking fro freedom for black man all over the world.

The real thriller here is on B-side, titled Outcry, opening on a loud shout and then riding the same riddim with spoken word by Rasta Son (I think I read somewhere him could be Micahel Ras Starr but really not sure). This "signature" shouting will be coming again and again during all the tune.

Theme is the same, talking about freedom but this time more towards Rastas, concluding that "Rasta Man must be free from Cape to Cairo" (hereby considering that Africa is populated by rastas...).

Sadly this copy has seen better days (quite some crakle, specially on B-side) but considering you do not see this every day  I'm already quite appy to be able to share it with you.

As usual, click on blue text below the labels to download the tunes. Feel free to let me know what you think about it and hopefully I'll be back soon for more.

Peace to one and all,

Ben
