Blak Ryno Gives Us A Visual For “Star Up In The Sky”

Posted on by swadedavillain

A couple weeks ago, Social Media hopped on a new trend called, #RockNRyno. The trend involved Dancehall Artist Blak Ryno’s music undergoing a series of Rock-themed remixes. These resulted in the Deejay actually crafting a Rock single called “Star Up In The Sky” with the help of ZJ Sparks, BloodlineFranco, and Chambah. The song quickly gained some attention, with many suggesting music videos, and projects. Ryno has fulfilled one request so far, and that’s an official music video.

Directed by SM Films, Blak Ryno gets the leather clothes, a Guitar, and that Rockstar energy going in “Star Up In The Sky”. His message of overcoming poverty is still strong here, and #RockNRyno is here for another round. Ryno shared recently that he was working on an EP, with the possibility that it may be Rock-themed. Only time will tell where he will go with this, and it’s good that his name has been at the forefront as many still celebrate his hits as a former member of the Portmore Empire. Too bad he didn’t break stuff in the video in the style of many we’ve seen over the years. Maybe on the next single. A BLAK RYNO, the Rockstar.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Lasana Bandelé – Living In Shacks (1987)

Posted on by swadedavillain

February is recognized as “Black History Month“. The month reflects on the plights of Black people, and celebrates the achievements and innovations by them. It is also recognized as “Reggae Month“, celebrating the global impact the genre has over the past few decades, and will have for generations to come. For today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, we highlight a musical figure who used his voice to shed light on the struggles his people faced, seeking for better ways. His name is Lasana Bandelé, and the track is called, “Living In Shacks“.

Arranged by Lasana Bandelé and Leebert “Gibby” Morrison and released through Storitela Music in 1987, “Living In Shacks” finds Bandelé doing some Social Commentary. He looks at the destitute conditions many are living in and what they have experienced for centuries,  and calling out those who can help but are caught up in vanity and corruption. Bandelé’s song came with powerful words, and at a time when Black people around the world faced great hardship. “Living In Shacks” earned its respect shortly after its release, and it connected with many around the world thanks to its lyrical content. The song was included in Bandelé’s “Storitela” album that was released in 1989. The music video for “Living In Shacks”, directed by Phase 3 and Dermot Hussey, was premiered on JBC TV (now Television Jamaica/TVJ) as a part of Lasana Bandelé’s “The Storitela” TV Special, and was aired regularly.

Since the release of “Living In Shacks”, Lasana Bandelé continued to share his powerful content over the years. From Poetry to Filmmaking, Bandelé made his voice be heard, and messages connect to many locally and Internationally.
