Charly Black Promoted Unity With Star-Studded “One Chance” Festival In Manchester

Posted on by swadedavillain

On Saturday December 14, the Parish of Manchester was treated to a night of great performances thanks to the first staging of the “One Chance” Music Festival. Hosted by Dancehall Artist Charly Black, DJ Marvin, and Unstoppable Entertainment and held at the parking lot of Toast Restaurant & Gelato, the “One Chance” Music Festival was made to promote unity in Jamaican music and society, bring together a number of established and rising stars, and bring more specialized entertainment events in Manchester. Despite the late start for performances, patrons were treated to the selections from the likes of Bass Odyssey, DJ Sherlock, and ZJ Liquid, and those who needed something extra could grab a soup, boxed food, and a beverage of their choice nearby.

When it was time for the performances, the early segment gave way to a number of Mandeville-based Reggae/Dancehall Artists on the rise who displayed some of their best work. It was then followed by performances by the Tower Band who provided musical backing for Charly Black, who soon after brought on stage Yaksta, Yaadcore, Neeqah, Denyque, and X-Kappe, who brought along a number of his Artists. The first staging of the “One Chance” Music Festival showed that Music Festival deserves to be held in the Parish, and we look forward to a bigger, better event in 2025.

For those who were unable to attend the Music Festival, we have some highlights for you to check out. Check out the video below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter, TikTok, Threads, and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

She can be found singing by the river, and even interacting with a few people at the beach, bringing a positive energy throughout. “Good Ol’ Days” was produced by WhiteBlackzMusic, and was released in 2023.

OLDIES SUNDAY: The Abyssinians – Satta Amassa Gana (1971)

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are classics, and then there are CLASSICS. On “Oldies Sunday“, we highlight plenty of songs that hold a high place in the History books. For today’s selection, we highlight Roots Reggae group The Abyssinians, and their single, “Satta Amassa Gana“.

Self-produced and released through Clinch Records in 1971, The Abyssinians deliver a song that connects on a deep level with “Satta Amassa Gana”. The song promotes consciousness, spirituality, and aims to unite the people. The title, which means “He gave praise/Give thanks” in Amharic, was almost shelved. Recorded in 1969 at Studio One with the original title “Far, Far Away“, the owner “Sir Coxsone” Dodd didn’t believe it was good enough for release through his label. The group didn’t let that deter them, and they officially released it under a new title 2 years later through their own label. The song would take off quickly in Jamaica, and gave the group notoriety throughout and outside the Island. The song would be featured on their debut album “Satta Massagana” in 1976, an album that many consider a classic Roots Reggae project. “Satta” would go on to be covered a number of times by The Abyssinians, Don Carlos, Tommy Tornado, and most notably, Third World for their self-titled debut album. The song would also be sampled by Jackie Mittoo, Sizzla, Capleton, Shabba Ranks, Isaac Maya, and I Wayne. It would also be adopted by Rastafarian groups as a hymn to be performed during services, and various versions of it were made.

Since the release of “Satta Amassa Gana”, The Abyssinians, consisting of Bernard Collins, and the Manning brothers Donald, Carlton, and Lynford, would enjoy a number of years touring, recording, and releasing music before splitting up, reuniting with different versions of the group, and reuniting with the original lineup over the years. “Satta Amassa Gana” remains a classic, and is revered by many.

Thank You The Abyssinians For This Classic!
