I was just playing with the new "Drum A´Mic" free VST Drum sponsered by Sennsheimer as I found out, that the virtual drummer sounded a lot like the drummer in my old reggae-band Strictly I´N´I from Kolding, Denmark. Very funny and since the band not longer exists I decided to let the old sound live up again. Bless

Lyrics:

At night, when the moon is over my head
And I dream of the dubbys/Cuba at night
When the son is over my head
I wanna be here with you / I´m in Sancti here with you

Little sister – don´t fear a new start
It´s gonna be alright
Na feed your bleeding heart
Old friend – don´t suffer no more
The mighty red dragons
Will soon fade away into the dark


Moon And Son [Cuba Version]

The vocal sample is from a Peter Tosh interview. Man, he was really pissed by the reporters. Bumboclaat seen?:)

Bumboclaat Riddim

This samplez is by the poor fisherman from the good, old jamaican movie "Countryman". Watch it if you haven´t! 

Defekte Dubplate mit Rissen

A track with samplez from the old Louis Gasnier movie "Reefers Madness" back from 1936. Maybe listen to this while doing 4:20 in a summer park?:)

Reise ohne Ziel [Dub]

For my friends from Sancti Spiritus(they shure love the demons rum). Love and respect.

Thanks to Daniel Villegas for the bongo sound.

Grenzenlos [Traüme de la Sancti]

A song which moved me when I was younger was "Mein guter alter Balthasar" by the singersongwriter Reinhard Mey. You can listen to it if you like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWpccdlQ_Gs


Balthasar´s Traum

On the horizon you see dark clouds. Angular shapes - luminous waves of wind. Suddenly this world cracks and a dance of light falls on a small figure. With a trumpet it begins to separate the sea walls. The sound of laughter turns the figure to silence and the waves burst over his head. The seas overwhelming force. At the bottom of the great ocean one can however hear that the music continue.
