OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas) Yole Derose – Tonton Nwèl Cheri (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Bonjou, hope all is well with you all, and the holiday spirit is active. We have another Christmas selection for you for “Oldies Sunday“. For today’s selection, we head over to Haiti to check out Yole Derose’s “Tonton Nwèl Cheri (Dear Santa Claus)“.

Produced by Ansy Derose and released through Les Producteurs Artistiques in 1989, Yole Derose shares a special message to jolly ol’ St. Nick in “Tonton Nwèl Cheri”. Awaiting his arrival with much eagerness, the Derose takes the role of a child who wishes for gifts on Christmas as her parents are poor and unable to provide them. She makes a request for a doll, but later adds on more items to her list. She also shares of the misfortunes in her household as her parents are unemployed and unable to afford basic necessities, her brother is sick, but pleads that if Santa cannot give toys, at least send something that’s of major importance to the household. The song sheds light on some of the realities that people are facing during the holidays, as it’s not always cheerful singing and gift giving. “Tonton Nwèl Cheri” became a popular Christmas song in Haiti, and was featured on the album, “Quand Mon Cœur Bat La Mesure“, which was released in 1989. Over the years, it has received a number of cover versions, and remains a well-remembered Christmas song in Haiti, and other parts of the world.

OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): Ajamu – Ah Want A Little Something (2001)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Christmas time is upon us yet again, and we look forward to what’s in store. As usual, we have to put you on to some holiday music, and on “Oldies Sunday“, have some classics. Today’s selection comes from the Island of Grenada. We feature Recording Artist Ajamu’s track, “Ah Want A Little Something“.

Produced by Edson Mitchell a.k.a. Ajamu and released through Charlie’s Records in 2001, Ajamu gave the people another in his line of Christmas music with, “Ah Want A Little Something”. The song finds him making a couple requests for his fans. He has been known to deliver a song for the holidays yearly, and while he does it for the people, he’d love for them to give back to him for the season. He delivers musical gifts, but wishes for a gift or few himself. He kindly asks throughout the song, and hopes it won’t cause any problems after. “Ah Want A Little Something” was featured on his 2001 album, “Christmas Soca Parang“, and is one of his signature Parang hits.

Ring In The Holidays With Circa Eleven & The “Peppa Lights” Project

Posted on by swadedavillain

December we’re here, and that means Christmas is around the corner. There will be plenty to be festive about, including new music! Production duo Circa Eleven are getting involved in the festivities this time around, and they have a new EP for the holidays. It’s time to update your holiday playlists with the new “Peppa Lights” EP.

Featuring 3 tracks, the lineup of Recording Artists Gio Mar (son of Wayne Marshall), Jay YGT, and Rizk are celebrating a “Dancehall Christmas” with Circa Eleven on “Peppa Lights, Vol. 1“. What started out as a conversation during a TikTok live about the need for some Dancehall-themed Christmas music this past November, quickly turned into a series of recordings from a number of Artists. When approaching the creation of the EP, Circa wanted to pay tribute to classic Christmas music on the production while the Artists shared their own prospectives when it came to Christmas music. On “First Christmas“, Gio Mar shared his need for his special person for the holidays, on “Holiday Time“, Jay YGT sought to rekindle some lost love for the season, while Rizk was in a festive mood as he parties away on “Jolly Dolly“. For those craving new music, get this in your collection, and stay tuned…maybe they follow up with more music. It’s the holidays!

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”!
