STEELE
- SLAVE DRIVER
DUBROOM (DUB) REGGAE VIDEO
REVIEW
WWW,
April 2008 - In this excellent video
produced by Wayne Benjamin, Jamaican Reggae
Vocalist Steele sings the traditional
"Slave Driver" in a
non-traditional way.
Half way through the video, the Nyabinghy drums
drop in an otherwise completely drum-less track.
It's all about the words, and they are sung
beautifully by Jamaican Reggae vocalist Steele.
It is not un-intended, as one usually would
want to have a strong drum and bassline just like
the Africans who were stolen from Africa would
want to hear the African drum in Africa. At least,
that is the thought that came into yours truly.
Taken from Africa, to work on land that was not
owned by the ones who kept them in slavery, only
to live in extreme poverty until this very
day.
The African Holocaust goes on, century
after century. So take a few minutes to feel this
track as Steele penetrates the soul in an
excellent video produced by a director who is not
afraid showing his work to the online (DUB) Reggae
Community.
