SMILEY CULTURE - COCKNEY
TRANSLATION (1984) |
| This
one has been a classic ever since it's
original release by the Saxon Sound System
in 1984. Smiley Culture introduces what was
then kind of new: chatting really fast over
digital drum and bass driven riddims.
In Cockney Translation, he performs an unforgettable
imitation of the Cockney London accent on
the Real Rock riddim and compares it with
the Jamaican language of his own culture.

PETER TOSH @ RANDY'S STUDIO, 1976 |
| Kingston,
Jamaica, 1976. Peter Tosh, who recently
broke up with the Wailers, teams up with Sly
& Robbie and an all-star band in Randy's
Studio at North Parade. After explaining to
the German TV crew how the drum and the bass
are the foundation, it's time for a little
tuning of the instruments and of it goes!

| MAX
ROMEO - GIVE PRAISES |
| Even
though he had a large hit with a track
called "Wet Dream" back in the
1960's, Max Romeo is one of the leading
names in the field of conscious Reggae
singers.
In
this video we will see Max Romeo in the
studio, as he voices over a Dub from the
Fisherman riddim recorded for Heart of the
Congo's.

| BLACK
ROOTS - LIVE IN BRISTOL (1986) |
| In
1986, BLACK ROOTS had reached a cult status
with their heartical albums and
performances. The ten tracks you can watch
(in no particular order) all testify to
that, as a skillful band plays one Roots 'n'
Culture riddim after the other while the
singer chants truth and right continually.
