Tuff Lion - Ten Strings (Islas Vírgenes, 2008)

Tuff Lion - Ten Strings (Islas Vírgenes, 2008)

Tuff Lion is an artist, himself, who could well be described as a ‘modern classic’. The very fact that you and I are existing in a frame of life which happens to not only coincide with this man’s own, but this man making music at the height of his powers is something really special. Long a fixture on the Virgin Islands Reggae scene, the Lion has played for just about every remotely prominent and gifted Reggae artist from out of the VI as a producer, a musician, an arranger, a writer and pretty much just everything you could want. In 2007, the master guitarist from out of St. Croix released his very own debut album, the very well received ”Utterance”, which actually featured him taking things to the mic and singing throughout the very strong affair. The very next year, however, he outdid himself and did so in the most natural and organic way that he possibly could without uttering a single syllable on one of the finest albums the region has ever produced. “Ten Strings”

On an album like this, besides the quality of a particular sound and song (which is unquestionable in this case), everything is left to the individual perceiving that sound. What I mean is that, when I analyze these songs, where there’re no lyrics, I’m likely (and hopefully) to get something out of them which you won’t and which Tuff Lion didn’t when he made the songs. The album was pushed by I Grade Records, and was, essentially, Tuff Lion’s own musical efforts on some of the riddims from I Grade - Basically placing music where there is generally lyrics. The results were outstanding and probably pretty difficult to analyze. I think I’ll try it anyway. (Fuente: achisreggae.blogspot.com.ar)

Third World - The Story's Been Told (Jamaica, 1979)

Third World - The Story's Been Told (Jamaica, 1979)

1979's THE STORY'S BEEN TOLD, like its immediate predecessor JOURNEY TO ADDIS, is a transitional album bridging the traditional roots reggae of early albums like 1976's self-titled release and the more pop-oriented and keyboard-heavy work of Third World's later years. The balance is still tilted towards the rootsy and the Rasta, however, making THE STORY'S BEEN TOLD a fine example of the band's classic era.

These seven lengthy songs are funky reggae workouts evenly divided between Rastafarian devotionals like "Irie Ites," and more playful party tunes like "Having a Party" and "Come Together." The gently flowing title track, one of Third World's finest, closes the album on an appropriately high note.

Tommy McCook - Cookin Shuffle (Jamaica, 1977)

Tommy McCook (Thomas Matthew McCook) (3 de marzo de 1927 La Habana, Cuba – 4 de mayo de 1998 Atlanta, Georgia) fue un músico jamaicano de jazz, flautista, saxofonista alto y tenor, compositor y arreglista.

Recorrió las diferentes etapas de la música jamaicana, siendo durante toda su carrera un actor de primer plano. En sus inicios, fue seducido por el jazz. Se concentró en los conciertos en los clubs y hoteles en lo que fue muy popular. Eso no le impidió ser uno de los pioneros del ska. Por contra su influencia en la industria musical jamaicana se reforzó con su continuación en el seno de The Skatalites, The Supersonics (estas dos pueden ser consideradas las referencias en los años sesenta), The Aggrovators (para el productor Byron Lee) o The Revolutionaries (para Channel One Studios). A principios de la década de 1980, estuvo en el origen de la recomposición de The Skatalites.

Raulin Rosendo - En Venezuela (Rep. Dominicana, 2001)

Raulín Rosendo (nacido el 30 de agosto de 1957 en Villa Duarte Santo Domingo) es un salsero dominicano. Se trasladó a Nueva York influido por los ritmos de la música afro-antillana durante su infancia. Comenzó su carrera a la edad de 12 años como miembro de un grupo de merengue, El chivo y su banda, que luego aparecería con actuaciones incluyendo a Fernandito Villalona, Conjunto Clásico y Los Vecinos.

Conocido como “The Angry Sonero”, Rosendo hizo su debut solista con Salsa, Solamente Salsa de 1991; en 1993 él estaba grabando en Nueva York con el productor Ricky González sus éxitos Amor en secreto y Santo Domingo. El triunfo de los álbumes subsiguientes, incluyendo ¡Lo Máximo!, Dominicano para el mundo de 1996, ¡Contrólate! de 1997, y Llegó la ley de 1998, lo puso entre los más grandes músicos de salsa del período. Luego vendría, Donde me coja la noche de 1999. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
