Jamaica Dancehall Music Bad Ras Natural Bond Entertainment Blog 13thStreetPromotions 13thStreetPromo Feeding The Homeless Caribbean

Entertainers Link Up To Feed The Homeless On Easter Sunday

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Covid 19 pandemic may have put a stop to a lot of activities, but it could never stop the various acts of kindness. On Sunday April 12 (Easter Sunday), Natural Bond Entertainment teamed up with Sponge Music and the Bad Ras Movements to feed the homeless in Mandeville, Manchester.

While various parts of Jamaica are still being worked on to provide safe havens for the less fortunate on the street, the Entertainers which included the “Rum Boss” Lybran and Kyng Sameer, gathered hot meals, cold drinks, and even some Bun and Cheese as a way of giving back, and to show that good deeds will never cease, even during a pandemic. The Covid 19 pandemic has so far seen 72 positive cases as of Sunday, with 16 recoveries and hundreds of samples being collected for testing.

Along with their acts of kindness, the Bad Ras Movements will be kicking off their “Corona Monday” Easter Fest on April 13. Starting at 8 PM, they will go live through their Facebook and Instagram pages where they will be playing the hits, and provide some well needed positive energy. A special performance by Lybran is scheduled to happen as well, along with a few surprises. We advise everyone to stay safe during this pandemic, abide by the rules, and don’t shy away from being kind today.

Bob Andy - Fire Burning Jamaica Reggae Music Blog Oldies Sunday Wild Flower Marcia Griffiths Caribbean Old School Music 1974

OLDIES SUNDAY: Bob Andy – Fire Burning (1974)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On Friday March 27, the legendary Keith “Bob Andy” Anderson C.D. passed away at the age of 75. A great Songwriter and Vocalist, he is considered one of Reggae’s greatest influential figures. He was also the founding member of The Paragons, and Bob and Marcia with the legendary Marcia Griffiths. Today we pay tribute to him with our latest Oldies Sunday selection. Though his collaborations with Marcia Griffiths are some of the most cherished, today we look at one of Bob’s songs that Griffiths covered (which later included a version with Recording Artist Cutty Ranks), “Fire Burning“.

Released in 1974 through the Wild Flower label, this was produced by Lloyd Charmers. The track finds Bob Andy giving some social commentary on people turning to crime and doing all manner of wrongdoing, and emphasizes that the fire is burning for those involved. The track was featured on his 1975 album, “The Music Inside Me“, and became a hit for him. It was covered by various Artists over the years including the aforementioned Marcia Griffiths.

Thank you for the hit songs Bob Andy, you will be missed while your music lives on!

Alicia Keys Chronixx Protoje - Underdog REMIX Jamaica Dancehall Reggae Music Blog 13thStreetPromotions 13thStreetPromo Caribbean Underdog

.@AliciaKeys Calls Up @ChronixxMusic & @Protoje For The “Underdog (Remix)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Alicia Keys always come through with a motivational song. Having hits since the early 2000s, she has probably done it all. With her “Underdog” single touching many worldwide, it’s only right she did a remix. With Jamaica in mind, she called up Chronixx and Protoje to join her for the “Underdog (Remix)“. Featuring production from Grammy Award winning Producer Izy Beats, and Grammy nominated Producer P2J, the trio join forces and sounds together, and provide the light we need in these seemingly dark times. The world needs a lot of love.

This isn’t Alicia Keys’ first foray into Jamaican collabs, her “You Don’t Know My Name” single was given a Reggae remix, she collaborated with the legendary Junior Reid on the “No One (Remix)“, and who can forget her getting on Cham’s “Ghetto Story (Chapter 2)“? She has always had a soft spot for Jamaica, and “Underdog (Remix)” may be a sign of a lot more to come. Looks like her cover of Chronixx’s “I Can” made the spark. Nobody can take away your determination!
