Brain Damage meets Vibronics
"Empire soldiers"

Vibronics & Brain Damage teamed up and decided to come together around a concept, a narrative inspiration that will undoubtedly surprise: Anglo-Caribbean and Franco-African soldiers’ experience during the first world war. 
The academic historian, poet & songwriter, Madu Messenger, uses the product of years of study and research, to develop, within that very framework, a series of texts on some key topics such as travel, friendship, war and death. This project thus aims at offering a learning experience about this often little-known period of our history. 
It will draw troubling parallels with some more contemporary considerations on culture shocks, immigration, imperial powers and horrors of war that still affects all of us today. Following their reflection on this sensitive issue, the musicians of the project’s – all of many other origins, Anglo-French, Jamaican or Asian – move towards a cultural alignment, opposite to certain enslaving and communitarian models.

DO U REMEMBER ? w/ SIR JEAN

Ah Me seh One, World War One
Two, World War Two
Do U remeber those African soldiers
Who died for your Freedom

Why, why ô why
A me seh why, why ô why
You never mention those African soldiers
Who died for your Freedom

Cuz when U big up de fallen soldiers
U nah name dem at all
Me check out your walls and monuments
Me nah see dem at all
Memorial days a come and U nah call dem at all
Me check out your books of history
We nah see dem at all
It is a shame
U don't remember dem
Dem have given dem youth and dem lives
Just for your Freedom
I come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Their grand sons come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Their African grand sons come to call their names
And put a little light pon dem
Lord of mercy
And put a little light pon dem

CHORUS

Baionets, Fixed !
B company, Fire !
African soldiers on the wire
They were Senegalese, Marocans, or Algerians
They were young, beautiful
And full of strength
They were lions trodding on da battlefield
Now they're lying in complete oblivion
Do U ever, ever remember dem ?
Their grand sons come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
And put a little light pon dem

CHORUS

They were fighting with glory
Forgotten at da moment of victory
Ô U used dem as manpower
African warriors
Courageous soldiers
African fighters on da frontline
But inna ya books dem nah have a single line
So we come fe mek de glory shine
Me seh de medal of merit haffi shine

CHORUS

Jahguard Ft. Mehdiman - Illusion (& Dub)

Alpha Steppa Meets Don Fe featuring Reality SoulJahs. After the success of Steppas Records' previous collaboration with Don Fe it was inevitable a second instalment would surface. This time with musical and lyrical support from label head Alpha Steppa and long time UK Roots vocal duo Reality SoulJahs, respectively. A heavy steppers riddim from Don Fe featuring the conscious militant lyrics of Reality SoulJahs accompanied by an earth-shattering Alpha Steppa version and dub mixes from both camps. Mastered with maximum clarity and bass pressure and housed in the brand new reverse-board 300gsm Steppas Records house-bag.

The Reality duo initiated their musical kinship in 1990 with the launch of their Reality Sound System. From the early days of lifting boxes and recording dubplates, this North London duo have gone on to forge a powerful relationship and have established themselves as intelligent and instantly recognisable vocal and lyrical talents. An integral part of today's UK roots reggae scene.

UK born musician and producer based in Spain for over 20 years, Don Fe’s passion since the age of five has been music, classically trained in piano, flute and theory and as from sixteen reggae. From his humble beginnings in the 80s with a 4 track and a TDK D90 his riddims and productions are now being played by the world’s most respected sounds – Channel One, Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti, Iration Steppas and many more all over the world.
