Jamaican Music

This video by Ms. Triniti is kinda hot. Its nothing new that we haven’t seen before but she does do a good job of showcasing some of the island and show some good beach shots. I’m not sure if she’s Jamaican or not because her accent sounds a little put on. What do you guys think?

Beres Hammond, born Hgh Beresford Hammond on August 28, 1955 in Annotto Bay, Saint Mary, Jamaica, is a reggae singer from Jamaica who is particularly known for his romantic lovers rock style of music. Although his career began in the 1970s, he reached his greatest success in the 1990s.

I love this video remake of Bob Marley’s hit from the Exodus album. Turn Your Lights Down Low features his son Stephen as well as R&B/Soul Sing Lauren Hill. This video is bring and colorful and reminds me of those good days when nothing went wrong.

Dennis Emmanuel Brown was a Jamaican reggae singer. During his prolific career, he has recorded more than 75 albums and is considered as one of the pioneers of lovers rock, a sub-genre of reggae.

Beenie’s new hit, “Girls” is produced by R&B/Hip Hop hit maker, Akon. The video is reminiscent of just about all of Beenie’s songs from years past. Its nothing new that we haven’t seen before. I guess it does its job of providing the men with “eye candy”.

Damian Robert Nesta “Junior Gong” Marley is a three-time Grammy-winning reggae artist and is the youngest son of Bob Marley. Damian Marley was born on July 21, 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica and his nickname Junior Gong was taken from his father’s nickname, Tuff Gong. Unlike his brothers and sisters who have a career in music, he specializes in toasting, a Jamaican style of rapping.

I don’t know how I feel about Shaggy’s new hit, “Church Heathen”. I’m not sure if Shaggy has reformed and is going to be making “less slack” music but I feel like this song is putting down everything that he did before. He made the kind of music that he’s criticizing in the song. So let me know your thoughts on Shaggy’s “Church Heathen”.

Horace Andy, born Horace Hinds on February 19, 1951 in Kingston, Jamaica, is a roots reggae songwriter and singer, known for his falsetto vocals and hit songs such as Government Land, You Are My Angel, Skylarking, and his cover of Ain’t No Sunshine.

Chezidek, born Desbert Johnson on June 20, 1973 in St. Ann’s Bay/Parish, Jamaica, is a roots reggae singer. He is best known for his hits Call Pon Dem (featured in GTA IV), Can’t Hear Must Feel, Inna Di Road, and Leave De Trees.

“Love is My Religion” is the latest single out my Ziggy Marley who has recently been focusing on alot of solo music and performing less with his sisters, “The Melody Makers”. I like this video. Its such a feel good song.
