OLDIES SUNDAY: I-Octane – Mama You Alone (2009)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Mother’s Day! From the Mama to the Aunty, to the Grandma, to the Foster Mom, to the Step Mom, you are appreciated! To those who are no longer with us, we keep your memories close on this day, and we extend our condolences to our readers/viewers at this time. Today’s selection comes from Dancehall/Reggae Artist I-Octane with the track, “Mama You Alone“.

Produced by Phillip “Junior Arrow” Linton and Nigel Staff for Arrows Records on the “Karma Riddim” and released in 2009, I-Octane makes a dedication to his Mom, and all the Mothers of the world in, “Mama You Alone”. The Deejay reflects on the times his Mother was there for him, and he gives thanks for the way she raised him, and urges listeners to appreciate their Mother not just on Mother’s Day, but everyday. “Mama You Alone” quickly became a hit for the Deejay, and earned heavy rotation for years to come especially on Mother’s Day. The single was also featured on his 2011 EP and 2014 album, “My Life“.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Conky – Sweet Mother (1978)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today is for the Mom, Mama, Mommy, Ma, Grandma, Auntie, and Mother. It’s Mother’s Day on “Oldies Sunday“, and we send a shout out to them all. Today’s selection comes from the late Calypsonian, Mighty Conqueror a.k.a. Conky with the track, “Sweet Mother“.

Arranged by Art De Couteau, “Sweet Mother” was released in 1978 through the Jumbo Caribbean Disco label. Conky’s track was a cover of Cameroonian/Nigerian Singer Prince Nico Mbarga’s mega popular track that was released in 1976. The song speaks of a person’s gratitude towards their Mother as she has been there for them in every stage of life. Even when she’s not physically present, a Mother and her love are not forgotten in the heart of her Child. Conky’s version of “Sweet Mother” was a popular track in the Caribbean, and was highlighted yearly in some Islands including his home of Trinidad & Tobago. Celebrate your Mom today, and every day of the year.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Echo Minott – My Mommy (1984)

Posted on by swadedavillain

First off, Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms, Mamas, Grandmas, Aunties, Stepmoms, and every type of Mother. Wishing you all the best! Today on Oldies Sunday, we make a dedication to all of them. For our selection, we highlight Echo Minott’s “My Mommy“.

Produced by Harry “Big J” Johnson and released in 1984 through Shuttle Records (and in 1985 through Sunset Records), Echo Minott delivered a dedication to his Mother, showing immense gratitude in the process. While all of us have a great relationship with their Mother, Echo went into detail the important roles she has played in his life, and even showing love to his Father in some parts. “My Mommy” was well received by fans, and was featured on his 1985 album, “Rock & Calypso“.

After the release of “My Mommy”, Echo Minott went on to release more music before taking a break from the Music Industry in the early 90s, returning with a few releases in the 2010s, an album in 2021 called “Man A Do Road” with DJ Air Afrique, and a single in 2022 with Laurent Squarta.

thank you Echo Minott For This Track! Happy Mother’s Day!
