DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW
WWW, November 2007 - Jamaican music has many remarkable disciplines, out of which the Vocal Harmony Groups is one. Twenty-six crucial tracks!
Reggae Music produced the foundation for many contemporary forms of music: Hip-Hop, for example, could never have come into existence if it were not for the fact that Jamaican DJ's would start to toast over the instrumentals.
Or take the many styles of contemporary digital Dance Music, all heavily borrowing from the concept which is known in Reggae Music as DUB. Since decades, that is.
Toasting, DUB Mixing, they all require a specific skill and talent. We speak about disciplines. The discipline of DUB mixing, for example. Or the discipline of DJ-ing (Toasting).
Another discipline of Reggae Music is formed by the many Vocal Harmony Groups. In this podcast, we are introduced to a small number of them.
Twenty-six, to be precise.
In 72 minutes, we're drawn back in time to the time wherein Jamaica gave birth to Reggae Music and even before. A time, wherein the discipline of the Vocal Harmony Groups was already established on Jamaica.
Convenient silences between tracks make this historical excursion ideal to burn on CD for your listening pleasure, by the way.
Enjoy another Jamaican Harmonic experience!
