Youth Promotion

A little excerpt from a Kingston Dance

With Youth Promotion in 1986.

Very sad news is:

The legendary singer died on

Saturday July 10th 2010 -

he was one of the greatest

Jamaican singers ever.

One of my favorite tune. . .

Sekkle Youself

Burro Banton

Steromars 1986

But to hear the best of the best in

DANCEHALL CASSETTES

Head over to WHO CORK THE DANCE

Dancehall Vibes

So one of the main intentions of this blog

is to put pictures of new stuff that I've made.

Well, after making it to 50 posts,

I'd like to shift the spotlight for a moment to someone else.

Beth Lesser & Soul Jazz Records have teamed up

for a monster of perfection in book form.

It was almost impossible to choose which photos of hers to share.

Although, you'll have to get the book to witness

Al Campbell modeling in front of the Bones Brigade icon.

Along with the amazing photos come Lesser's words

that trace the storylines of Jamaica's Dancehall Culture. . .

Music that was created to be heard in the sound system dances.

If you have an interest in Jamaican culture,

1980's fashion, DIY record production, records,

hand-painted signs, hats - lots of hats, speaker boxes. . .

you should really pick this little gem up.

There are copies for sale on the computer for about $20

~ five or so burritos. . . get it.
