Boom Shaka Lacka - Treasure Island Reggae Hits, 1968-72

My friend Hydro Zapedzky found by a trash container a travel CD case with some precious jewels in it. This is one of them. Includes a really well sounding version of John Holt´s "Ali Baba", one of my favourite tunes ever, sounding quite better than the recorded for Trojan, and included in the already uploaded "Trojan Tighten up Deluxe Vol. 2". Like this, finest Skinhead Reggae.

Dr Jau with the peanut vendors - Why rock when you can steady and roll?

Os dejo este trabajo de lo mejorcito de la música de raíz jamaicana hecha en el país. Los derechos de autor están bajo Creative Commons, buen rollo.

Reseña de la web de Dr jau:

Hola a tod@s.

La composición de este disco ha sido paralela a la creación del sello "Golden Singles records" y puedo decir que es la banda sonora de un proceso en el que personas y canciones hicieron família, de ahí la rotunda sinceridad del encabezamiento del álbum: Dr.Jau & Friends.

Una amalgama de sonidos jamaicanos (y no tan jamaicanos) en los que conviven el sonido clásico del SKA de los 60´s y el SKA-JAZZ de los 90´s, REGGAE, ROCKSTEADY, SOUL , DUB, ...en un disco en su mayoría instrumental en el que hay cabida para algún interesante experimento del laboratorio del Dr. Jau en forma de SKA DOMÉSTICO versioneando un clásico de BILLY BRAGG y para el DUB FILARMÓNICO con cuarteto de cuerda incluido.

El resultado de esta convivencia de estilos y almas en seis canciones es un viaje río arriba, romántico y algo canallesco, como el barco que recorría el Mississippi y reunía a tahures de todos los puntos del mapa... gente de la talla de KI SAP/THE SHAKE IT UPS, GAIA DUB SINDICAT, MALARIANS, SKAKS, DWOMO, MANIATICA, PURA MANDANGA, THE SKAFEÏNATS, COURT JESTER´S CREW,...

Esa milicia del Kingston Europeo son los PEANUT VENDORS, compañeros de viaje en la grabación y en vivo, ensalada de talentos con cuya implicación y amor se hizo posible la idea.

Ahora les dejo disfrutar del experimento con la sensación de saborear un trabajo bien hecho tanto en el proceso como el resultado.

Riesgo en tiempos difíciles.

Yo me alejo tarareando la melodía del manisero...

...Gracias, Dr. Jau.
