Radio Dubroom 2011 Chapter 4: Mi Seh Mi Nah Lef The Roots

MI SEH MI NAH LEF THE ROOTS
RADIO DUBROOM 2011 CHAPTER 4

WWW, January 2011 - Starting off with no less than 6 new releases by VP records, it's clear that Roots Reggae is not about to perish in spite of statements you hear sometimes here and there by people who think that good music is a thing from the past. Chapter 4 of Radio Dubroom 2011 contains once again a healthy portion of Roots Reggae with a whole lot of DUB for your listening enjoyment!
The set starts off with a Dub from Cocody Rock by the African singer Alpha Blondy, followed by the vocal version. A great re-issue from VP Records! Bushman is up next with his brand new album livicated to Peter Tosh, followed by another classic, both in the original Discomix and a new version by Damien Marley and Nas: Dennis Brown with Aswad on the massive Promised Land riddim can't be refused!
Next up, two tunes by Richie Spice, one from a brand new release by VP Records and another available free and legal in MP3 download (look to the playlist for links).
Vibronics and Alpha & Omega form the bulk of the EuroDUB and Roots section which follows: vocalists like Boney L, Mark Iration and Jonah Dan are definitely no strangers for the listener of the better quality Roots and Dub available out there. Not so many of them might know of Gold Heart Music based in Sweden but Sheya Mission's "Feel Like Rain" along with it's Dub version should change that.
There's two tunes taken from the MP3.com Legacy, too: Amsterdam based DUB Creator with one of his early productions and the Dub Farm, complete with samples from the movie Rockers which simply states: "All of the Youths Shall Witness the Day That Babylon Fall!"
Another 85+ minutes of pure Roots and Culture!

Babylon Observer Video Report: Remembering the Message of Martin Luther King, 2011

WWW, January 2011 - A day after the official Martin Luther King Day on January 17, two years after the election of Barak Obama, the black community within the USA knows themselves to be on top of many lists concerning poverty, unemployment and negative profiling.

Where Martin Luther King expressed his hope for a nation that would "live up to their creed that all man are created equal", he was not far from his assasination. More than 40 years later, many black people who voted for Barak Obama know themselves in a nation that still does not live up to it's creed.

The Babylon Observer remembers and observes the current runnings, and reports...

Impressions from the Buju Banton "Before the Dawn" Performance

Impressions from Buju Banton's "Before The Dawn" performance on january 2011, which was for the most part a solidarity concert to support and draw attention to Buju Banton as he is currently subjected to a trial in which he was entrapped by the DEA.

Radio Dubroom 2011 Chapter 3: A Reggae Livication to All Peace Makers And Not War Mongers

A REGGAE LIVICATION TO ALL PEACE MAKERS AND NOT WAR MONGERS
RADIO DUBROOM 2011 - CHAPTER 3

WWW, January 2011 - This third chapter of Radio Dubroom 2011 is livicated to the workers of Equal rights and Justice, because without these two conditions there will be no peace as the Conscious Rastaman has been chanting from the ancient days until this very moment. The livication comes with true Roots Rockers, represented by Price Far I, Yabby You, Edi Fitzroy and many others.
The set starts with an extremely nice Reggae tune by the German band Dubious Neighborhood, followed by Benaiah and Edi Fitzroy telling it just like it is. The classic Rub a Dub tune Murderer, sung by Baqrrington Levy, subsequently introduce us to some more historical music until the end of the show.
Prince Far I has a message to those who still do not know the Bible Message that War is Over when Natty Dread Come Over, and Yabby You identifies the Anti-Christ whose followers claim to follow the true Christ. Johnny Clarke reminds us about the ancient prophecy that in the end Every Knee Shall Bow, after which we go into a segment of stricktly Dub Vibes.
From the album "In The Light", Horace Andy chants down Babylon and Prince Jammy transforms the musical atmosphere into a Natural Mystic that will go straight to the soul of the Conscious people, only to lead us straight into two crucial Discomixes by the singer Junior Ross who makes it very clear where Rasta comes from, without apology.
The show closes off with another two Dubs, each one carrying enough lyrical content to leave no doubts: yes, this is A Reggae Livication To All Peace Makers And Not War Mongers.
Go Deh!

Babylon Observer Video Report: Iraq's Poorest Make Junkyards Their Home

RIGHT-CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO

WWW, January 2011 - In spite of billions of American "reparation" money supposedly aimed at "reconstructing" Iraq, about 25% of Iraq's population lives under the poverty limit.

People have to flee their houses because of sectarian violence that came with the invasion of Iraq and make the junkyards their new homes. Little children pick up trash instead of going to school, there is no running water and absolutely no medical care.

The 2011 Dubroom Website Renovation Project (1)

Greetings!

As I mention on the Dubroom Front Page, I am currently renovating the Dubroom website. Finally is the time to move from the old screen resolution to a more modern one, a bigger one This is a huge process as I have to manually design and change many thousands of pages. In this thread I would like to keep you a bit updated as to what I'm up to with it.

The first thing i attack is the MP3 Portal. Currently I think I did about 25% of the pages. For a preview, I just uploaded all the MP3 album reviews. Check them out at http://mp3.dubroom.org/mp3albums.htm
