OLDIES SUNDAY: Little Roy – Columbus Ship (1981)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Every year around this time for the past few years, we aim to put down the name of the once-famed Italian Explorer, Christopher Columbus. Whether through playing music that spoke against him, renaming locations that once shared his name, and getting rid of statues made in his likeness, people are doing more to put down a wicked Man who has been celebrated for so long. Tomorrow (Oct. 13) is celebrated as “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” in North America, which was originally “Columbus Day“, and we salute the original natives. Today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection comes from Little Roy, and we check out, “Columbus Ship“.

Released through Tafari/Copasetic in 1981, Little Roy sheds light on the experience of the Black Man during Slavery in, “Columbus Ship”. The song speaks on his experience from being held in captivity against his will, taken to new lands on a Ship belonging to Christopher Columbus, and being forced to slave on Plantations, and suffer through it all. The song is just one of many that pulled the wool from over the vision of the people who idolized figures who exploited nations, oppressed people of colour, and committed various crimes of Humanity. “Columbus Ship” was featured on Little Roy’s 1981 album of the same name, and was well-received by listeners over the years.

Since the release of “Columbus Ship”, Little Roy continued to have a successful music career, releasing more music, and performing on stages around the world. He is still active in some parts of the World, where tracks like “Columbus Ship” is still played to this day. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day when it comes.

Thank You Little Roy For This Tune!

.@ChronixxMusic Returns With “Exile”, 1st Album In 8 Years

Posted on by swadedavillain

The time is here, and what a better time than now. After numerous requests and demands, Reggae Artist Chronixx is back with a new album! There was plenty of speculation when it came to his return with new music, and despite an announcement this past Summer, many had doubts on him actually dropping in 2025. Today, on his 33rd year of birth, he returns with, “Exile“.

With his first album in 8 years, Chronixx is ready to shift the culture once again with, “Exile”. The follow up to his 2017 GRAMMY-nominated debut album “Chronology” finds a more mature Artist, with something new to share with the people, and tapping into things that are important like family, community, and navigating through this life, while still holding true to Reggae Music. “Exile” features production by Inflo, who presents sounds that borrows from Soul and Roots Reggae, and puts together the needed pieces for Chronixx’s continued growth in lyricism. With fans breathing a sigh of relief for the new project, the next few months will find him connecting with them through live performances. Until then, start with track one. Welcome back Chronixx.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Hubert Porter & The Jamaican Calypsonians – Rum & Coconut Water (1953)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaica has a rich music history that sometimes slip our minds. While Reggae and Dancehall are on the frontline, we tend to not mention other genres like Calypso and Mento that made strides long before our Independence. That’s why there’s “Oldies Sunday” to highlight the content. Today’s selection comes from Hubert Porter and The Jamaican Calypsonians with the track, “Rum & Coconut Water“.

Released through Times Record in 1953, when one is missing a certain energy, Hubert Porter & The Jamaican Calypsonians suggest you get some “Rum & Coconut Water” in your system. Inspired by living overseas, the song speaks of a Man who is homesick and is relaying the information to his Woman as he is lacking the drive to do a lot of things. To him, there’s nothing like being home and being fed the right things. Rum and Coconut was a drink of choice to keep one on his toes, and remains a drink for many today, especially those who are coming home from Overseas. “Rum & Coconut Water” was a popular track, and was a part of the setlist when Hubert Porter & The Jamaican Calypsonians perform at various Hotels and events. The Instrumentation throughout had the people dancing, and kept the vibe going all night. Times Record was one of the platforms that helped the Artists with their releases, and was a subsidiary of the Times Store, one of Jamaica’s then largest Department stores. “Rum & Coconut Water” would later be covered by Mento Band, The Jolly Boys, and Cayman Islands-based performer, The Barefoot Man.

Since the release of “Rum & Coconut Water”, Hubert Porter and The Jamaican Calypsonians would go on to release more music together. The Jamaican Calypsonians would collaborate with The Mighty Panther, Lord Flea, Lord Tickler, and others over the years. “Rum & Coconut Water” would be remembered, and covered by many over the years.
