OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): The Cimarons – Holy Christmas (1971)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It was the day before Christmas, and everyone’s rushing. They’re either buying gifts to keep loved ones blushing, or checking off lists in grocery shopping. Regardless of what’s going on, it’s Christmas time on Oldies Sunday! We go back in time to check out a selection by UK Reggae Band The Cimarons called, “Holy Christmas“.

Produced by Robert Thompson and E. Mulby for A House Production and released through the Downtown label in 1971, The Cimarons celebrated the true reason for the season in “Holy Christmas”. The song recognizes the birth of Jesus Christ, and encourages everyone to sing of his birth, and foster the right spirit, and sing aloud. Backed by great production, the band delivered soulful vocals for a song that was instantly liked. Hope the season caught you in a good space. Please be safe this Christmas Eve.

OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): Orchestre Tropicana D’Haiti – 24 Decembre (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s that time of year again! Despite Covid 19 taking over everything including the holidays, some of us are still showing a lil Christmas spirit. We’ve always made space for some Christmas songs on the blog, and this year’s no different. On Oldies Sunday Christmas Edition, we head on over to Haiti to kick things off with the Orchestre Tropicana D’Haiti with the track, “24 Decembre“!

Released in 1988 through Louis Records, Orchestre Tropicana D’Haiti brought together beautiful instrumentation and vocals that celebrated the Christmas season and promoted unity and family throughout. “24 Decembre” or “December 24” is recognized as Christmas Eve, and Caribbean folks celebrate it through parties and a “Grand Market” where shoppers get their last minute gifts, or take in various events throughout. Though performed in Haitian Creole style of Compas, the music can still be felt by anyone who is around who hears it. “24 Decembre” is featured on the band’s 1988 album, “25ème Printemps (25th Spring)“. With over 40 years in, Orchestre Tropicana D’Haiti is still performing and entertaining many with their selections.
