First cumbia post on this blog- this music is so heavy it will reach anyone who loves heavy grooves and powerful singing-

These cassettes were obtained at the end of an era: Woolworths on Santa Fe's plaza was fazing out their Spanish cassettes years ago, and BOOMING BASSLINES was there to swoop on anything that said cumbia, mambo or rancheros-

Sound quality is quite listenable: check the scorching Latina who voiced "El Africano" and others, and check that squishy keyboard on "El Guiro", kinda like Calypso (soca) and Cadence (zouk) among other styles from the multitude of Caribbean islands.

Pretty sure these are Mexican tapes of Colombian and Mexican artistes.

MERRY XMAS- BOOMING BASSLINES

Heptones - Harry Js Showcase A1

Imagine how the Heptones feel: coming from humble beginnings and rising to great heights internationally, they have watched as virtually everything they recorded for Coxsone has become a world standard "riddim", versioned mercilessly by countless producers and voiced by thousands worldwide. As you read this, someone is in the studio building a new version of a Heptones riddim and djs are playing any number of records based on their compositions.

Ranging from classic versions that are remarkable, to god-awful dance hall one-shots soon forgotten, Earl Morgan, Leroy Sibbles and Barry Llewellyn have recieved zero royalties from any of it.

The music presented here is from their sessions for Harry Js, grouped together by riddim and cleaned up a little. What a creative time in the music!
This music is bad and beautiful-

Sun Oct 4, 6:25 pm ET

NEW YORK – Jamaican reggae artist Major Mackerel says he's been slashed in the head, arm and hand by a New York City man wielding a 2-foot sword.

Police say one of the musician's Brooklyn neighbors was arrested and the sword was recovered Sunday morning.

Major Mackerel was hospitalized for several hours. He left the hospital with bandages crowning his dreadlocks and wrapped around his left hand, wrist and elbow.

Major Mackerel has released several albums. His real name is Garfield Dixon.

His girlfriend, Novia Watson, says the neighbor said he was angry because the reggae artist was harassing his wife. But Watson says the artist never messed with her.

Major Mackerel also denies harassing the woman. His neighbor faces charges including assault with intent to cause serious injury with a weapon.

Here is the Major's piece of "All Fruits Ripe" from a JR 45-

the view

Okay okay, enough JR stuff right? Judging by how you guys are stampeding to download the previous JR cuts, you like Junior Reid quite a bit. This lyric uses a joke about "having a view" in Mountainview and Harbourview in Jamaica. Most of you will miss the reference.

Many are complaining about Badongo being used as the link, but this hasn't stopped lots of you from taking the music. Play these loud in the dance, and if you like them say hello in the cbox.

year of the chalice

At some point dancehall heads noticed that Junior Reid had found a cheaper way to press his own productions. The actual vinyl was of sketchy quality, and had a cloudy look to it. The labels, with their gaudy logo and odd coloring, were printed in bulk and hand-titled with a rubber stamp. This sleeve was used as a test sheet to get the ink pad "just right".

"No Loafting" is JR's treatment of "Skylarking", and "Year Of The Chalice" uses the Kuchie riddim.

TAXI GANG

We linked with Taxi Gang again in our town this weekend- Sly, Robbie, Nambo and the crew brought a heavy set of riddims to the stage, and spread nuff good-natured vibes around the place off-stage too.

You probably already have these two pieces of “Moving Away” by Ken Boothe, also known as the M16 riddim.

MORE LOVE!
