IF YOU DON'T KNOW...(WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, September 20 2007 - "If you don't know your history, you don't know your destiny".

We hear the words often in Reggae Music . Everyone who knows just a little bit about the history of Reggae Music and Jamaica won't need to find out if that saying is true or not.

It's clearly documented, though.

For example, in the video we reviewed for today.

Or in the music played by Brother Ian from the magnificent House of Reggae, where you can relax while being educated in the same time.

Give Thanks, One Love,

HOUSE OF REGGAE #6
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, September 2007 - The sixth episode of Ian's House of Reggae covers 45 years of Jamaican Music.

Sure, you can enjoy Reggae Music without knowing all the details. You don't have to know the history of this music in order to feel the rhythm, but it sure helps to feel it even more. and this is where Ian's House of Reggae comes in.

In this 6th episode, he goes in-depth into Jamaica's independence from Britain before playing the 1962 track "Independent Blues" Basil Gabbidon. After that, he makes a little fun of the Gospelreggae Industry as he plays Shaggy's tune "Church Heathen" and Ninjaman's "The Pastor".

Just two highlights in what is another episode of obligatory education for every self-respecting lover of Reggae Music.


BROADCASTER'S COMMENTS: Welcome back for another show and in this I'm playing tunes covering 45 years of Jamaican music from celebrating independence in 1962 with Basil Gabbidon, all the way through to the big hit of 2007 from Shaggy, while taking in visits to Newquay and Ipswich in England aswell as the Jordan River in the Middle East on an untitled white label (one for the spotters!). Business as usual then at the House of Reggae, why not come in and enjoy the tunes......

Video: Slavery in Jamaica

SLAVERY IN JAMAICA
BABYLON OBSERVER VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, September 2007 - After the original inhabitants were killed, Africans were taken to Jamaica to work as slaves under a torturous rule by the state sanctioned slave masters.

It's just a small clip, only two minutes long. Long enough to introduce Jamaican people, a proud people, to show some of the torture devices, and even to have a small interview with a Jamaican minister.

Long enough to provide some food for thought, too.
