BUJU
BANTON - LIVE IN JAMAICA (1992)
DUBROOM (DUB) REGGAE VIDEO
REVIEW
WWW,
May 2008 - Before Buju Banton became
part of what many call the "Rasta Renaissance"
during the early 1990's, he was already part
of the top of Dancehall Music. This video
captures him before he started growing his
dreadlocks.
The music is minimalistic, the band is four
members strong, Buju is energetic: Dancehall in
1992 made many people wonder "where Reggae
has gone too". They blamed the computer and
programming, but they will get the same idea while
watching Buju and band perform.
The often chaotically looking concert is in
fact an explosion of energy where Reggae, DUB and
basic rhythm comes together to serve as foundation
for Buju Banton's impressive appearance. An
impression that offended more people than just
those that did not know how to musically apprecilove
Dancehall.
In the second part of the video, he performs
one of his major "controversial" tunes
that made the homosexual lobby show their cultural
ignorance and intolerant behavior once more when
they started to call for a ban on Reggae music in
the 1990's.
This, and a great duet with a crucial singer,
as well as more niceness for the eye and ear can
be found in this crucial video from -allready- 16
years ago!
