Rhiya Luna’s “Sweet Reggae Music” Is What You Need Today!


One thing that can’t be denied, is that Reggae music can work wonders for you. From the young to the old, a dose of the melodies can brighten up your day. Recording Artist Rhiya Luna speaks on it in her latest single, “Sweet Reggae Music“. Produced by Nuh Response Production, Rhiya shares how the music takes over her life (even though it affects her love life), and making her choose anything other than Reggae music is a no no. Jamaica boasts with this export, and the plethora of Artists who have blessed the world with it will not stop. Closing off the month of July, we urge you to stop what you’re doing, and enjoy some “Sweet Reggae Music” below. Show us some love on Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Snow Ball Brown – Chiquitita (1994)


As we close the month of July, we had to throw in a classic. Today our Oldies Sunday selection comes from Recording Artist Clive Brown a.k.a. “Snow Ball Brown“. What is considered one of the greatest Festival Song Contest entries, we present to you “Chiquitita“! Produced by Sherman Clachar, this was released through Arabic Records in 1994, and became an entry in the 1994 Festival Song Contest. Though not a winning entry, it quickly became a hit outside of the contest. It music video was one to look forward to in the evenings on JBC TV before the News. With the infectious chorus, you couldn’t help but imitate Snow Ball’s delivery of “Oooh Chiquititaaaa…“. Not much was heard of Snow Ball Brown since his hit (except that he entered a few more times with no success, and fell on hard times), but “Chiquitita” continues to pop up during Jamaica’s Emancipation/Independence Day celebrations.
