.@AmandaReifer Channels Sister Nancy For “Bam Bam”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall is powerful. Since its beginnings in the late 70s/early 80s, the genre took on the world with new sounds and vibes, and giving a platform to generations of Artists. One of those Artists was Sister Nancy. As the first Female Dancehall Artist, she took her opportunity to open doors for other Women to showcase their skills, and inspire future generations. One of the Artist Nancy inspired was Bajan Recording Artist Amanda Reifer. While she’s not a Deejay, the music of Sister Nancy brought out some creativity for the Singer. Namely her track, “Bam Bam“.

Inspired by Sister Nancy’s 1982 classic single “Bam Bam“, Amanda Reifer showed off her skills on a sampling of the track for her track of the same name. Joined by her band, we get a performance, showing that she took her inspiration and ran with it. Reifer has been on the scene for a number of years, releasing music through Atlantic Records. “Bam Bam” is the 2nd live performance she has conducted over the past few days, and we may get more over time until new music hits the streams. This Woman don’t trouble no one.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Cropover is on the way, and everyone is preparing for it. With a number of selections released since from a number of Bajan acts, Faith Callender has been staying busy herself. While she preps for Carnival, she’s also taking over stages leading up to it. She aims to make every day a positive one, and for those who wish to spoil it with negativity, she says to “Keep It“.

Produced by Osei Delsol and released through Momentum, Faith Callender keeps a heavy schedule with no room for badmind in, “Keep It”. Staying positive is the name of the game, and it is very important for Faith to stay on that level. What she won’t tolerate, is fake energy, bad vibes, and negativity. If you have a problem with that, take a Buckley’s, and stay in your lane. The bouncy production helps to send her message across, and the track looks to stay true to not only those who look to participate in Cropover, and those who are living life day to day. With so much going on in the world, we need more positive music, and a chance to spread joy. Keep Faith Callender in your regular rotation, and look out for more Cropover music.

OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): The MerryMen – Drink A Rum (1974)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s December, and that means it’s Christmas time! No matter what has been happening in the year, we all look forward to this holiday season. With the holidays come time off for the schoolers, and for the older crowd it’s party time in every way, or an extra payday. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we head over to Barbados, who just celebrated their Independence Day, to check out The Merrymen’s version of, “Drink A Rum“.

Produced by The Merrymen for Merry Disc and released in 1974, “Drink A Rum” is a cover version of Trini Calypso legend Lord Kitchener’s 1959 track of the same name. The Merrymen group, which is consisted of 5 members, all performed the track, blending harmonies and instruments for a song that celebrated the drinking part of the holiday season. Rum in various forms are consumed, and they are sure to bring the joy, warmth into the chilly time, and “kick” into the joyous occasions. While the original “Drink A Rum” was a popular Calypso song, their version did well in Barbados, throughout the Caribbean, and other parts of the world, and became a song that enjoyed radio airplay around the Christmas season. The track was released on their 1988 Christmas album, “Caribbean Christmas Party“. The group have been enjoying a considerable amount of fame, and they performed the song on the road.

Stay tuned for another Christmas classic on “Oldies Sunday”!
