Influential Jamaican reggae musician, Gregory Isaacs, passed away this past Monday, October 25, 2010, after a long battle with lung cancer. His sound was unforgettable and his music, timeless. His music brings me back to those lazy, summer afternoons as a child. The house echoed with songs like "Night Nurse" and "Soon Foward" - listening and dancing, at the same time, as I sipped my sweet, too sweet lemonade, and enjoyed the cool summer breeze.
Here is another Zap Mama video coming to you! This saucy, colorful salsa influenced song entitled "Hello Mama" is from her 2009 album Recreation. Enjoy the colors!
Love her style, love her flow, love this song! Estelle is working it in this video. Check out "Wait A Minute (Just A Touch)" - Ration the fabulousness ladies!!!!
I was listening to Janelle Monáe today and decided to post her song "Many Moons." In light of our current political landscape, I thought this song was a good fit. She has a noteworthy musical and artistic style (she reminds me of a mixture between Outkast's musical style and Little Richard/ James Brown). Check out "Many Moons" and be submerged in its political message through single words and phrases.
