OLDIES SUNDAY: Perfect Giddimani – Hand Cart Bwoy (2004)

Reggae is a music of love, and before the Valentine’s Day weekend, we thought we’d not only celebrate love, but celebrate the versatility of Reggae being it is Reggae Month on “Oldies Sunday“. For today’s selection, we go back in time to check out Perfect Giddimani’s “Hand Cart Bwoy“.

Produced by Rebel Chris for Rebel Musik in 2004, it’s all about two different world finding that love, and becoming a union in Perfect Giddimani’s “Hand Cart Bwoy”. Perfect shares his upbringing to one that’s not rich in wealth, but in love, and his chance meeting with a Woman who may have come from a more privileged place. They instantly clicked, and despite their backgrounds, they’ve managed to share love, and build a companionship that comes right out of the Romance novels. It’s the kind of love that’s not based on what you have, it’s your character, something that’s missing in a lot of relationships today. “Hand Cart Bwoy” was an instant hit for Perfect, and found its way to connect with many on the International market. The song would later be featured on his 2006 debut album, “Giddimani“. “Hand Cart Bwoy” was sampled by Cutthroat Mode in 2017 for a song of the same name.

Since the release of “Hand Cart Bwoy”, Perfect Giddimani continued to enjoy a career with a few more hits, and has been a touring Artist for a number of years. “Hand Cart Bwoy” remains one of his biggest songs, and is one to play for the lovers.
