Blessing or Offense? (5) - Webmaster's Column

"BLESSING OR OFFENSE? (5)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 21 2007 - Reggae Music was born on Jamaica, and Jamaica is an island where the world's history is summarized in a rather ugly way.

Jamaica has a long history of people who know like no other one know what it means to be a true sufferer, a victim of what truly is Babylon System.

Today, the situation is not so much different as the Plantation is now "simply" called "Third World" and the sufferers still suffer until this very day.

In this situation, the Jamaicans have given an example to the rest of the world when it comes to what can seriously be called "Jah Culture" in a way, and that Culture has definitely shaped world-wide Reggae Culture.

Give Thanks, One Love,

DJ MUKTI DUBWISE SET
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, November 2007 - Almost one hour of deep, deep DUB awaits the listener - experiencer - of DJ Mukti's first Podcast.

The art of DUB can be applied in many, many styles of Reggae and even beyond. DJ Mukti is showing just how this is done by his wonderful selection of DUB music.

Electronic vibes and instruments are combined with analogue or even acoustic sounds and we're not "just" talking about the many vocals we hear throughout this hour of deep, deep DUB.

DJ Mukti's selection introduces us mainly to the world of contemporary and international DUB producers like Twilight Circus and Vibronics, Mad Professor and the German Rhythm and Sound.

As we can hear, DUB has come a long way since it was first discovered in King Tubby's Studio decades ago!

MARCIA GRIFFITHS - MELODY LIFE (FULL TRAILER)
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review



WWW, November 2007 - A lot of historical and contemporary footage shows one of the first female Reggae vocalists and definitely one of the most remarkable ones.

Marcia Griffiths is obviously best known for her works as part of Bob Marley's backing vocals, the I-Threes. But to keep her there is to not respect the fullness of her works.

As she explains in the video, she started years before the I-threes and obviously has been going on strong ever since Bob Marley passed to be with Jah.

A little piece of niceness, that just may convince you to check out the album that accompanies this video.
