Back to the Old Days is a tribute to the history of Jamaican music, from its beginnings to our times. And also a way to remember that despite these difficult times, hopefully we will soon return to the normality we had and be able to enjoy music with live events.

Thanks to great artists with whom we share a passion for this music and with the special collaboration of some Reggae legends such as Michael Prophet and Toots Hibbert, may they rest in peace, and Sister Nancy, we have been able to complete a very sincere tribute to the music that we enjoy so much.

With special mention to Alpha Pup, Sailor Smile, King Konsul, Jay Smilee, Payoh SoulRebel, Francisca, The Sherlock Horns, VirtuS, Pupa Congo, High Paw, Tenor Mario, Longfingah, Calee Arias, Irie NaNara, Burian Fyah and Coronel Brown.

BACK TO THE OLD DAYS - Roots Reggae Mixtape 🇯🇲

I am available to talk anytime.

The Pandemic has taken a toll on my health and especially my mental health. Music has been the only thing that brings me back to proper perspective. I have never been depressed before, but that is what I am dealing with now. I want to help end this stigma of mental health, so that is the reason for me sharing far more personal information than I normally do and comfortable with. But if I can help one person or make someone not feel as alone as they currently are, it is all worth it. I want to give thanks to the community for all the support over the past year it means more than you know. For anyone out there struggling, I don't care if we have ever spoked before or not. If you need someone to talk to, I would be more than humbled and more than happy to listen to you. Sometimes it just takes getting some stuff off your chest to get back moving in the right direction. I have a few very good friends who have been there for me through thick and thin, and other friends that seem to fade away when you need them to step up in hard times, but that is how life teaches you. I give thanks for all the wonderful souls I have had the pleasure to meet and call my friends. I am truly blessed and I would like to return that favor to anyone that may just need an ear to listen. Just know I am here to talk, stranger or not. I just encourage you to talk to someone. Now go have a listen and enjoy the selection. I just felt it necessary to put that out there, because many people our age still have the stigma about being the tuff guys and gals,  and that we are not supposed to talk about our feelings. That shit will eat you up. Stress in the number one killer. Talk to someone!! Doesn't need to be me, but please talk to someone. I am wishing everyone happiness in whatever endeavors they’re pursuing ! Respect out to one and all. Love and blessings to the whole community.

Ewart Beckord, aka U-Roy nous a quittés le 17 février dernier, à l'âge de 78 ans. Avec lui, c'est un immense pan de la musique jamaicaïne qui disparaît. Actif depuis le début des années 1960, celui qui a popularisé le fait de parler sur une rythmique (faire le deejay ou toaster) d'abord en sound system puis en studio, a une carrière qui embrasse quasiment tous les styles du reggae et de ses ramifications : rocksteady, roots, rub-a-dub, dub, dancehall et même hip hop. Fan absolu du toaster, le MC et selecta Sir James le cite comme l'une de ses plus grandes inspirations dont il collectionne naturellement les disques. Pour l'occasion,  il replonge dans ses bacs et passe en studio pour enregistrer une énorme tribute selection au père de tous les deejays, the Originator. 30 titres 100% vinyles qui forment un indispensable hommage à cette légende dont les innombrables hits resteront immortels tant qu'ils seront joués ! Run it & play it loud !

Musical Echoes tribute selection to U-Roy (by Sir James)
