Akae Beka In Denver, CO, Mandela Day 2015

TICKS AND CLICKS VOL. 9 : J’ouvert Barrio – Calypso, Mento and Chutney in West Indies Mix. All original vinyl.


Tracklist:

Roaring Lion – Carnival Long Ago
Lord Cristo – Jonathan
Lloyd Simmons & Esso Steel Band of Bermuda – Weed
Count Lasher – Font Hill Duppy
Big Souls – Jamaican Girls
Laurel Aitken – West Indian Cricket Test
Lord Kitchener - Jamaican Woman
Mighty Sparrow – Witch Doctor
Lennox Picou - Indrani
Sundar Popo – Scorpion Gyal
Lord Cobra – Negro Heart



Calypso, Mento and Chutney get often overshadowed by Reggae and Soca when thinking about islands sounds. This volume of Ticks And Clicks brings forward some awesome lesser-known music from West-Indies.

The mix starts with Rafael De Leon’s AKA Roaring Lion’s Long Ago Carnival, a Trinidad classic which he recorded first time in the late 1930’s under the name J’ouvert Barrio. This version is from 1976 and it tells about carnival in Trinidad. Amazing stuff.

Next there is two late 1950’s calypsos, Lord Cristo’s Jonathan, a crazy story about a guy faking his own death and Lloyd Simmons and Esso Steel Band’s Weed, a song about botanicals seller featuring steel-pans, instruments native to Trinidad and Tobago. During the time oil-drums were usually stolen to create these instruments so to stop that the oil companies started to sponsor the bands with empty barrels so they had bands with name of oil companies. Both songs are from Cook record label by legendary inventor and soundman Emory Cook. Cook created his own portable record presses and recording technologies and traveled Trinidad archiving the music he loved. Recordings are ruff but without him these sounds would have probably never been heard outside the islands.

Next the mix moves to Jamaica and Mento sound of Count Lasher with Font Hill Duppy where Lasher combines his Mento style singing with reggae beat telling a story about the famous foul-mouthed duppy of Font Hill. Big Souls’s Jamaican Girls is a rare single by Albert Moonahset with the cool country style Mento vibe.

Mix stays in Jamaica with Laurel Aitkens relaxed calypso-ode to cricket from 1964. Rudeboy for life Aitken did ska, r’n’b, rock and roll, reggae, soul and calypso in Jamaica and later went to UK and became a skinhead reggae boss and a legend.  Next comes Trinidadian Lord Kitchener, one of the grand chiefs of Calypso and his 60’s hit Jamaican Woman. Mighty Sparrow, master lyricist and Calypso heavyweight is presented here with his 1976 dancefloor Soca/Calypso monster Witch Doctor which tells about the Obeah voodoo of the islands.

Next some Chutney sounds. Chutney being a Soca subgenre with strong East-Indian influences. About 35% of the population of Trinidad and Tobago can trace their ancestry to Indian immigrant workers. Lennox Picou’s mad Indrani is obscure 7” single covering Lord Shorty’s classic tune. Sundar Popo was honored as the king of Chutney and here in his 1974 single he sings about his love for scorpion gyal. Massive.

Mix ends with one of my very favourite calypsos of all time with Panamanian Lord Cobra’s stunning Negro Heart, a deep black anthem and a calypso commentary on interracial organ transplanting. Record is rare as hell and the song includes awesome ukulele solo.

Simma - Freedom Time - Foundation Roots Mix 2019

Reggae | Dancehall Soundsystem outta Karlsruhe (Germany) since 2003. www.zapata-soundz.de

Seit Selecta Martin Zapata Soundz 2003 in Karlsruhe gründete hat sich die Szene und die Besetzung ständig weiterentwickelt. Derzeit besteht Karlsruhe’s No.1 Soundsystem aus Selecta Martin, Matt Shure, Jah Phil, Irie T, Dony & Miwata. Von Foundation über Modern Reggae bis zum aktuellen Dancehall rotiert auf den Tellern alles, was der Menge ein Lächeln ins Gesicht und einen Tanzwurm in die Beine zaubert. Gewürzt wird das Ganze mit Live-Einlagen der talentierten MC’s Jah Phil, Dony & Miwata.
Zapata Soundz sind in der Szene mittlerweile weit über Karlsruhe hinaus bekannt. Die monatliche „More Fire“ Party-Reihe in Karlsruhe läuft seit 2007 konstant gut und gehört zu den am besten besuchten Reggae/ Dancehall Regular-Partys in Deutschland. Mit Liebe und Leidenschaft teilte sich das Karlsruher Soundsystem hier bisher die Bühne mit namhaften Artists wie Mono & Nikitaman, Toke, Nosliw, Irie Revoltes, Rebellion the Recaller, Trettmann, Uwe Kaa, Kabaka Pyramid, Skarra Mucci, Cornadoor uvm. oder international bekannten Soundsystems wie Pow Pow Movement, Soundquake, Jugglerz oder Silly Walks Discotheque.
Auch außerhalb von Karlsruhe sind Zapata Soundz viel unterwegs. In den letzten Jahren wurden fast wöchentlich Gigs in ganz Deutschland von München bis Hamburg und auch in Holland, Frankreich & Thailand gespielt. Der Zapata Soundz MC – MIWATA, der seit Januar 2010 dabei ist und bei Zapata Soundz die erste Bühnenerfahrung sammeln konnte, sorgt mittlerweile auch als Solo-Künstler in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz für Furore. Sein Mixtape „Auf dem Weg Richtung Sonne“ vom Juli 2012 (Jugglerz-Records) fand sehr große Beachtung und bekam überwältigendes Feedback. Er gilt als die neue Hoffnung für Reggae in Deutschland und wurde im Jahr 2016 beim Voting des RIDDIM-Magazins als drittbester Artist, direkt nach Gentleman und Trettmann, in der nationalen Reggae-Szene gewählt. Im Februar 2014 erschien seine EP “Neumond” die direkt auf Platz EINS der deutschen Reggae-Charts und auf
Platz 32 in den nationalen Album-Charts geklettert ist.

Zapata Soundz stehen für eine geballte Ladung guter Vibes!
