Taken from Strut's comprehensive retrospective of the hugely influential Fania Records, 'Pa' Bravo Yo' is one of the biggest hits vocalist Justo Betancourt achieved on the label.  An infectious cut lead by his deep vocal, the song first appeared on his 1972 album of the same name.  Fania Records 1964 - 1980: The Original Sound of Latin New York will be out March 29th on Strut, featuring a 32-page booklet including a full Fania label history, memorabilia, album artwork and many previously unseen photos from the Fania archive.

Music is a means of communication. I don't know if I have conveyed all the sensations that this photo has produced in me: pain, anger, sadness, anguish, and endless sensations full of desolation.

In these complicated days I remember all the good Ukrainian musicians whom I follow here, to whom I wish the best of luck, to their families and to their country.

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

It sucks to get old, but it beats the alternative.

GETTING SOMEWHERE

About time 
Could it be there’s not enough
About love
The rush and the loss
About me
The highs and the lows
About us

All the missed opportunities
The places you didn’t go
The people you never held
All the lost laughs

You’re getting your fair share
If only you dare
You’re getting somewhere
If only you dare

About joy
Did I spread enough
About happiness
Did I live it up
About time
About time for me
About us

Time to punch in your ticket
There’s one final show
Time to empty your bucket
Let loose let go

Somewhere…

You’re getting your fair share
If only you dare
You’re getting somewhere
If only you dare
Somewhere
You’re getting there
Somewhere
You’re getting there

Somewhere
You’re getting somewhere
Somewhere
You’re getting somewhere

Getting Somewhere

THE PROFE$$iONAL

From the liner notes of our 2-disc Ebo Taylor retrospective, Life Stories:

Ebo acknowledges the influence of US jazz rockers Blood Sweat & Tears and
– less obviously, perhaps – Deep Purple on this easy going mid-tempo
piece, written a few years before it was recorded, when Osibisa and
various ‘blaxploitation’ themes were hip. “I was trying to fuse rock and jazz together with highlife,” Ebo recalls. “This kind of music was ahead of its time – not very popular when we recorded it!”

Peace On Earth

Ebo Taylor- Peace On Earth

🌈 No need for guns, no need to fight 🌈

＊This work is made by overdubbing my guitar playing (mainly chord work) to winkandwoo and The Turtle Project(TTP) 's work "Hold The Line".Thanks to Winkandwoo and TTP for accepting my proposal.

 The reason why I worked on this work this time is because I want to sing and play with everyone.Therefore, I prepared a simple sheet music with lyrics and chords. There is a link above.

This work is probably one of the "protest songs". If I were to compare it to John Lennon's work, I think it would be "Give Peace A Chance." Yes, there are gems that confront discrimination, oppression, and prejudice, denounce injustice, and sing against war, and this is one of them. And not just to protest, but to sing together to "express your determination, clarify your way of life, question society, and lead to reform".

When winkandwoo released this work, I thought he was a great vocalist, singing a lot of important things and weights in the lyrics of "No need for guns, no need to fight".

And now many lament: "Ukraine is my country. Russia is my country. The country is killing my country." Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced from their homes, saying most people crossing the border from Russia don't want to kill people and don't want to serve this government. There is a movement to stigmatize this movement by branding it as a "traitor" and to use public power to contain it. I think protest songs play an active role here. Their lives and livelihoods are with us.

I hope that this song will help mankind break away from the "gun society" where mass shootings occur frequently, and that it will help all those who refuse military service in Russia. And I hope that this song will help unite Russian citizens against the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops and all citizens who support the Russian Revolutionary Movement.

【Palm Muting】Also, for those who are practicing guitar, I think that this work will be a teaching material for effectively playing scales using open strings while playing low chords. This time I'm playing Palm Muting all the way through. Below are some video examples that may help you. I searched on youtube. Use this technique to sing while playing the guitar.

winkandwoo - Hold The Line - The Turtle Project ft.JUNZO on electric guitars

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Lead Vocal
Gary Reeves: Drums / Drum arrangement
Hans Albers: All instruments, backing vox, arrangement & production

Cover art by Jooinn.

This is a totally stolen idea gleaned from another one of those phone conversations with my brother Gary. We talk to each other every few days and normally end up sounding like two old men sitting on a park bench putting the World to rights.

I’m sure a lot of what we say has been said many times before (what hasn’t?) but one day, out of the blue, Gal says to me “ Sometimes I find things too difficult to deal with. I would love the opportunity to step off the world for just one second and clear my head a bit...” At the time I just accepted it as the type of thing we say to each other but two days after the phone call the idea of stepping off the world to escape the pressures of daily life returned when I was playing my guitar. The words “I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off” fitted with what I was playing and the start of a new opus was born.

Once a song seems complete, I generally record a quick demo and send it off to Gal to see if it has any potential. If he thinks it has, between us we try to put a better demo together to send to Hans.  If he thinks it’s any good, he’ll work on an arrangement and more often than not sends back something back that sounds way better than what we’d imagined.  

We might chip in a few ideas here and there (as Gal did with a totally new drum arrangement on this) but Hans is definitely the one that gives it most of it’s final shape and sound.  I love every step of the songwriting process.  It provides a kind of therapy and the creative process gives every day purpose and interest.  You could say it’s my way of stepping off the world for a short moment.
(Terry Reeves)

I’m stepping off the world
To give myself a chance
For a moment of reflection
Avoid the need to dance 
One thousand miles per hour
Never firmly on the ground 
Gravity with no connection 
Spinning fast head going round 

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
Stepping off the world 

No New Year's Revolution 
Rotating much too fast 
Survival of the fittest
Fittest days are in the past
Step off every Monday
Not back until Tuesday week
One moment makes a difference
Like a lifetime so to speak

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
Stepping off the world

Don’t want to give a reason
Good feelings are oppressed 
Try different constellation 
Laying down has more interest
Stepping off a single second 
With no single past regret
Not a care for single thinking 
Avoid joining one single thread

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off the world
Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world...

STREET PREACHER 2

A Collaboration with the multi- talented United Duality, Please go and visit his page if you are looking for inspiring natural and slightly theatrical songs :-
https://soundcloud.com/united-duality
LYRICS:-
If this world was to show you freedom
Would you take it if it shined like a light
Or would you choose to stay prisoner, captive
In this illusion of a life
Have you set your boundaries , borders
Do you know where your heart lies

Do we change the world 
With our hearts and minds
Can we make it better
Can we change perception 
Can we turn the tide

I only hope that we can come together
I see lots of hope but we don’t come together, no no no no

What do we need to turn the tide

Do we change the world 
With our hearts and minds
Can we make it better
Can we change perception 
Can we turn the tide

If this world was to show you freedom
Would you take it if it shined like a light
Or would you choose to stay prisoner, captive
In this illusion of a life
Have you set your boundaries , borders
Do you know what it takes to turn the tide

Turn The Tide - United Duality Ft. winkandwoo

Lord Kitchener, the calypso king, arrived at Tilbury docks 21 June 1948, on the Windrush. https://youtu.be/Zlv4dkS-s8w

Despite living and working in the UK for decades, many of the Windrush generation's children were told they were there illegally because of a lack of official paperwork. The scandal, which broke in April 2018, saw the UK government belatedly apologise for deportation threats made.

Footnote: I purchased my first guitar, an Epiphone studio dot and a small fender amp and I decided to add to this track having looked up the three chords, blushin' at my audacity!

Gimme Da Ting (Lord Kitchener)

Another evening in the traffic
stucked for hours on the highway
and all that , just for a ghostly day
behind a cash register

she wanted to write
sad but beautiful stories
just to sublimate her memories
her own little secrets
and reinvent her future
made of special days
without anyone having anything to say 

she dreamed to write
that she was a fighter , a rebel 
able to avoid the worse
and never grow old 
she dreamed to write
that she was blonde ans sensual
just to give herself the right to lie
and go laughing 
to see her own name on a book 
her name on a book 

she wanted to write
eternal stories
of betrayed hearts and feelings 
words that talk of her 
about this love that kills 
and reborn even stronger
some romantic comedies

she dreamed to write
that she was a fighter , a rebel 
able to avoid the worse
and never grow old 
she dreamed to write
that she was blonde ans sensual
just to give herself the right to lie
and go laughing 
to see her own name on a book 
her name on a book

Music, Production and Arrangement: Lillithe
Verses:
Here we go with these lyrics ——chill out feel the hype 
this is what I’m thinking while I’m spitting— flames from the mic
It’s long overdue ———so hang tight ——-it’s alright
Some new sound bytes coming through——at the speed of light
38 degrees Celsius ——- converted to Fahrenheit 
That 100 degrees of heat——but don’t swear it —-it’s alright
Explosive on contact——like——a falling meteorite
could be wrong ——could be right ——but—— I bet you’ll see Tha light (delight)
🎵No limits no hangups ———no safety nets 
think it—- plan and do it ——with no regrets 
not the last brushstroke —-cause the paint still wet 
creating something out of nothing —-is the art outlet🎵
If I gotta do it all ——-then I’m gonna do it my way
I can’t answer every call—— but I bet someone will pay 
seems like just another wall—- can’t say that’s OK 
Wreck em all big and small —-black and white is just all gray 
if I gotta take the fall—— gonna keep it real all day 
so don’t try to break my balls —-and that’s needless to say
got the mic step on—-combination weapon 
let the legend get on—-data mining brainstorm
anytime I come on—-dropping gems is the norm
feel the vibe transform—-born to win —move on
———if I do it —-I’ve gotta do it my way
—-throwing—down as always——- it’s my mainstay
murdering tracks —with each word——that—— I —-say—-
dividends adding up——————————-for a big payday
maniac— —-————-floating —flowing—like a manta-ray 
—-and if———they love it ———-I guess that—I’ll stay
for a while—putting styles—-on display—-
not stressing rhymes ——cause the——-rhythm’s —hitting———all day

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Lead Vocals
Gary Reeves: Drums, Cajon
Hans Albers: All other instruments, Arrangement & Production

This was one of those songs that was inspired by something Hans wrote,  prompting an idea of the movement of water representing the melding of musical ideas.

Whilst we were working on “Release The Ashes”, he sent me a working arrangement in an email, signing off with the words "Love from The Elbe to The Thames”.  Friends and family often say things that spark song ideas and this poetic  greeting stuck in my mind.

I looked at a map that showed The Elbe flowing into The North Sea and The Thames into the Estuary a little to the south and imagined the two bodies of water flowing toward each other, intertwining back and forth, much as the song ideas between Hans, Gary and myself are inclined to do when we’re working on something.

So I have to thank Hans on two counts, both for bringing the idea to mind and also for the arrangement he created, which to me is very special.  Hope you do too.  Many thanks for listening.
(Terry Reeves)     

The river runs from Elbe toThames
Connection between distant friends 
North Sea growing back and forth
Mixture giving and taking at source 

A watery song with dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

Mersey mixture in history and song
Salt water blends and tries to belong
Move East to West, North To South
Trickle of ideas by word of mouth

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river to river to river to river...

Tidal transfer of words and music
Echoing sounds, a demo acoustic 
Treaty of Versailles to Parliament plaque 
Rules of agreement, musical track

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

The river runs from Thames to Elbe
Passing secrets, some to be held
Musical water with mixture to last
Ferry sails sea with historical past 

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river
River to river
River to river to river to river….
