Posted on by swadedavillain

With Women’s History Month 2022 coming to a close on Oldies Sunday, we thought why not go out with a bang for the ladies! Today, we go not too far back in time, but we highlight a hit from two wonderful Women in Jamaican Music. Today’s selection comes from Danielle D.I. and Cherine Anderson with the single, “Rebel“.

Produced by Sly & Robbie, Danielle D.I. and Cherine Anderson’s “Rebel” was released in 2013. The track features the Women expressing themselves to the fullest as the Rebel’s they are. Whether they’re good girls, ladies, bad gyals, Independent, confident, sexy, passionate, and ambitious, they are Jamaican Women, and you will respect them. “Rebel” was a big hit for Danielle D.I. and Cherine Anderson as it became an anthem at the time, and it was featured on Danielle’s “Sly & Robbie Present: Danielle D.I. – The Rebel” album, and on the VP Records “Strictly The Best Vol. 47” compilation. “Rebel” connected with Women of all ages, and it remains as one of Danielle D.I.’s biggest singles.

Posted on by swadedavillain

With “Women’s History Month” coming to a close, we’re still celebrating the Women who continue to make history everyday. While we recognize Women in Music and Entertainment, we show love to the everyday Woman. To amplify this, legendary Recording Artist Nadine Sutherland steps to the Mic with her new single, “Queen“.

Nadine Sutherland took on the Producer role for her “Queen” single, and on the track, she makes a dedication to every Queen in the world. She reminds them that they are very important, and she takes the time to fix their Crowns and show them all the love. She gave her strong lyrics a visual thanks to a Ryan Bailey directed/Gracian Christie edited music video. Throughout the video, Nadine highlights some very important Women including her Mother, a Mother and child, and a young lady who overcame her challenges and achieved success. A great song from Nadine Sutherland, and an important one.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Any of you watch the new HBO series “Winning Time“? It chronicles the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers Basketball team, both on and off the court. There are a few familiar faces in the series, and some of your favourite music too, but for their 3rd episode called “The Best Is Yet To Come“, a Reggae classic was featured.

Reggae Artist Freddie McGregor’s 1979 classic, “Bobby Babylon” was featured in the latest episode of “Winning Time”. Produced by Sir Coxsone Dodd for Studio One, “Bobby Babylon” was a hit for Freddie McGregor, and he along with the single lead to the resurgence of the Record Label in the early 1980s. The inclusion of “Bobby Babylon” in the series fits well with the 80s theme as the series focuses on the “Showtime Lakers“. “Winning Time” is now available for viewing every Sunday on HBO.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @CeliaCruz – Bemba Colora (1966)

Posted on by swadedavillain

This March on Oldies Sunday, we recognize it as Women’s History Month. We salute the many Women who have taken big steps, and left amazing legacies. Today, we head over to Cuba to salute the “Queen Of Salsa” or “La Reina De La Salsa“, and “La Guarachera De Cuba“, Celia Cruz! We look back at her single, “Bemba Colora“.

Originally composed by Jose Claro Fumero, “Bemba Colora” was released in 1966 through Tico Records. The song possessed a strong anti-racist message, a bit of storytelling, and celebrated a proud African heritage as “Bemba Colora” meant “big red lips/red mouth“, which is a distinct feature of many Black people. The song features a heavy dose of percussion and horns, and will have anyone breaking out in dance. “Bemba Colora” was a hit for Celia Cruz, later on becoming one of her signature songs. “Bemba Colora” was featured on Cruz’s 1966 album, “Son con Guaguancó“.

Celia Cruz would become one of the faces of the then growing Latin Music movement overseas, mastering many forms of Afro-Cuban music styles over time. Celia Cruz has inspired generations of Latin Artists, and her presence is still felt to this day. She is still celebrated around the world, with special tributes being presented yearly. “Celia Cruz Day” is celebrated in San Francisco, California on October 25, and she has a few Schools and roads named after her in her honour.

thank you celia cruz!
