thenx. here's something I found ages ago and never posted. I'm not sure how I feel about it as it's kind of a gimmick, but it also feels relevant to this thread as there's a lot of hybrid posts. so... a japanese 2020 reggae band doing 'smells like teen spirit' with combo organ lead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHFBAq-wwMw |

just went through my posts in this thread fixing dead video links, like a psycho, so uh, yeah. really was just an excuse to listen to the ones I'd forgotten to in a while. here's some of my usual ancient poo poo I've been on recently Desmond dekker intensify... music that stays on for extra-daaaaaay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZp6bhOnkfM and something I stumbled across but had never heard before. I knew Sir Lord Comic was a very very early toaster and cut a late-ska-era classic The Great Wuga Wuga, which features him toasting, but I didn't know he'd recorded the first toasting on record ever, Ska-ing West. It's a bit swingy-ska-ey for me but an interesting artefact. Now you've heard the first ever recorded toasting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQBsc4E8VCA and I guess he did the "DJ peps" (? the mouth percussion on early ska songs) for prince buster according to this video, which I suggest not listening to all the way through as it's just isolated scatting/"peps" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HduJO0N4DpY a grooving mittoo organ instrumental - Napoleon solo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l_QRhzxoTw |

Dunno where this person got the video material to make this "fan video" but it's pretty amazing to see and hear Toots Hibbert, a singer whose voice sounded old and seasoned for like 60 years, when he's legit young. Also yeah it's the Sister Nancy song, yeah, that was him, if you forgot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w68cxXI0DBA |

here's some random non-reggae francophone music I've come across recently - i think mostly from the french antilles. martinique and such. so skip this post if you are looking to go on a "LEGEND"ary "EXODUS" to "CATCH A FIRE" while listening to "BOB MARLEY GREATEST HITS" and will be disappointed by other fun caribbean music. henri debs "tu as cale le moteur" / you stalled the engine, girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hoo_9GLSsQ8 bookelos "oh la la", this one sounds straight up african. except for the funny dialogue at the beginning where they're doing the french version of "mahnamahna" - "mais non mais non" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tavGzjM_efk and this sounds like it's from new york in 1968 except it's about social security (?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZgh_Jt4RXc |

"dude... don't sing too much on this one..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulMag1QkDGI JJ All Stars - I Feel Good V.2 abyssinians... maybe the ultimate roots reggae track. I am not encyclopedically knowledgeable in roots stuff compared to other subsets of reggae but god drat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jba2HtUPpQI apparently after coxsone released some abyssinians stuff he went back and released this, which he'd held back because he thought rasta music wouldn't sell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUxkIw21rCg basically roots reggae recorded in 1969 which is insane. |

Dunno where best to post this so here's some non-reggae Trinidadian music stuff. Skip this poo poo if you can't listen to steel drums without thinking about corny poo poo. OR try and open your mind to a really incredible folk artform. I just went to London Panorama 2023, which is a thing they do before the famous Notting Hill West Indian Carnival in the streets of West London in August. Basically, the night before Carnival, all the biggest steel/pan bands in the country come and compete before they're all partying and hung over during the actual party. They're at their sharpest and the competition is fierce, certainly for outside the Caribbean. The Caribbean Panoramas are surely something special I wanna see before I die. What I wanna convey is how inadequate recordings are of these bands. You can look at videos of London Panorama 2023 on youtube already, but it really doesn't give you the full effect. The bands are huge. I don't know how many players but many must have about 100 members. Full orchestras with 6+ bass players (bass in pan means a car-sized rack of like 10 full 55-gallon drums with like 3 notes on each, the player turns around them to play them all, jumping to the music) and every size of pan in between, and a massive percussion section, several guys just tapping metal mallets on brake drums from cars (or maybe a tuned equivalent), a giant flared serrated tube you scratch like a guiro but that looks like a cartoon bazooka. They're all arranged on platforms that can be wheeled down the street. And the sound is insane. There's a proper stage competition later in the evening where they take turns in the park and you sit far back in an audience, but I like to show up for the rehearsals, which are done on the street beforehand - each band about 100 yards apart, if that. They set up in this tiny, narrow street and you can wander around all sides, right up to them, while they practice. This gives you a good idea of the vibe, just click around to get the scene, don't watch it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CynIaCeOvkM You wander between these bands and walk right up to this wall of sound, it vibrates your lungs. The players are jumping, the platforms look like they're gonna collapse. Another thing to note is that the bands are men, women and sometimes children, of all races. Anyway that's why I love it and go every year. But I feel like there's some missing context about the music being played in and of itself - it's often covers but not as you know them. So for a themed post in the byob reggae thread I thought I'd link this 1975 calypso track by Lord Kitchener celebrating the man who invented pan as an instrument around WWII: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxmPHuirfrg And that same year he sang that song, the champions of the Panorama did their interpretation of it. Hearing both the original and this one really helps demonstrate what's going on in a 10 minute panorama competition track - they take a hit song from that year, or a classic, and "arrange" it into sort of variations on a theme. It's a really musically unique thing, I can't think of much like it. They're "covering" the track or remixing it or something but it's something closer to re-composing. In the youtube comments someone in the band at the time says there were 180 players in it!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQGIi5HoPbQ One more example because I love both versions. I posted Shadow "Bassman" already in this thread but for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vng3QVblxxY And a 2015 panorama version - again starting with the familiar song, and then turning it to something else, building up and returning to it. Really cool. And again, seeing this in person is really special and totally different. The sound is so heavy. This is a Trinidadian orchestra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc9sojEu_8o drat this turned into a lecture. I just feel like if I post random steel drum music without context it doesn't fit, but it's such a powerful thing holding my kid on my shoulders and bouncing to this wall of drums I wanted to share.

I love soca music. I spent most of my life in Toronto where there's a rich carribean culture. Now that I'm living on the west coast though, I really miss it!
