OLDIES SUNDAY: Lord Hummingbird – Teenage Bossa Nova Girl (1963)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Music has always been the topic of discussion, and with it has brought on numerous trends and movements. Many individuals have stepped up to make their contributions, becoming a part of History in the process. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we go back a few decades, and to the twin Island of Trinidad and Tobago to check out Albert Ribeiro a.k.a. Lord Hummingbird and his Orchestra for the track, “Teenage Bossa Nova Girl“.

“Teenage Bossa Nova Girl” was released through Hummingbird Records in 1963, Lord Hummingbird shared his observations sparked by the rapid growth of the “Bossa Nova” musical movement, especially with the youth. It was encouraged to dance to the “Bossa Nova” sound, and the new sound was like nothing being played out there. Originated in Brazil in the 1950s, “Bossa Nova” is described as a relaxed style of Samba Music that blended harmonies, Classicial Guitar, Drums and Percussion, making it an extension of the Samba sound. Thanks to a few Musicians and the Film “Black Orpheus“, “Bossa Nova” created waves in South America, eventually taking over more territories, influencing generations of Musicians. Hummingbird, a Calypsonian Artist, tapped into the “Bossa Nova” sound, and made it a part of his overall sound, making him a dominant force.

“Teenage Bossa Nova Girl” quickly became a hit for Hummingbird, and helped to bring his name to more parts of the world. For those still here, Albert Ribeiro is the Grandfather of Alfonso Ribeiro, Actor and Dancer most famously known for his role as Carlton Banks in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air“. He is currently the main Host of “Dancing With The Stars“.

Not much is known about Lord Hummingbird, but since the release of “Teenage Bossa Nova Girl”, Lord Hummingbird went on to release more music. “Teenage Bossa Nova Girl” remains his most well-known release.

Thank You Lord Hummingbird For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Reel 2 Real – I Like To Move It (1993)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ready to turn up the vibes? For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we’re throwing a party that even the pets will enjoy. Today, we go back to the 90s to check out Colombian/Trinidadian/American duo Reel 2 Real’s “I Like To Move It“.

Produced by Ralphie Muniz and 1/2 of Reel 2 Real’s Erick Morillo and released through Strictly Rhythm in 1993, “I Like To Move It” was Mark Quashie a.k.a. The Mad Stuntman a.k.a. the other 1/2 of Reel 2 Real’s showcase of deejaying over some House Music production. The high energy track was made to get the people moving and rock rooms, with Dancehall/Ragga-inspired lyrics being chanted throughout. With the line “I like to move it move it…“, listeners were in for a good time. The track was included on Reel 2 Real’s 1994 debut album, “Move It!“. “I Like To Move It” was an instant hit for ravers as it secured #1 chart placements in a number of countries including Belgium, Canada, France, Zimbabwe, The Netherlands, and the UK, and top 10 placements in even more countries. The track went on to win a number of awards over the years, went gold in Australia, France, the UK, The Netherlands, and Germany, and has been hailed as one of the best EDM, Party, and 90s songs of all time by a number of publications.

The success of “I Like To Move It” didn’t stop at just chart placements. It was remixed a number of times over the years as well. The track is one of the most frequently licensed songs, appearing on numbers of compilations yearly. It appeared in commercials for USPS, McDonalds, Durex, Jeep, Toyota, and the Fairy dishwasher brand, used in the video games “Just Dance“, “DJ Hero“, “Mario Strikers Charged“, and “SingStar Dance“, and a dance emote inspired by it appeared in “Fortnite“. It was included in a number of TV shows and Films including “American Dad!“, “New York Undercover“, and “Saving Silverman“, but it was at its most popular when it appeared in the “Madagascar” animated film franchise thanks to it being performed by the character King Julien, becoming the official theme song of the franchise. The song still holds a level of popularity to this day.

Since the release of “I Like To Move It”, Reel 2 Real went on to release more music before disbanding in 1997. Erick Morillo continued to produce and DJ until his death in 2020, while Mark Quashie continued to release more music over the years, in between performing “I Like To Move It”. Reel 2 Real owned the 90s, while their biggest hit is still making an impact.

THANK YOU REEL 2 REAL FOR THIS CLASSIC!
