TUESDAY 24 | SIR DAVID RODIGAN | HARD CLUB | WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?

It is impossible to speak of Reggae and not to mention one of the greatest artist, David Rodigan. With 60 years of age completed in June 2011 and more than 40 year career as a journalist and BBC radio, select and Kiss FM, Rodigan is an essential reference of Jamaican music worldwide.

David Rodigan is a symbol not only of reggae but music and journalism around the world, having the privilege of interviewing such personalities as Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Peter Tosh, among many others and collecting dubplates that nobody else in the world possess . We talk about names like Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Ini Kamoze, Damian Marley and many others to devote to music or make reference to Rodigan.

These tools work distinguish the value of the select and collect prizes after prizes Soundclash throughout the world, and that makes him Sir David Rodigan, King Rodigan, or David "Ramjam" Rodigan. With passage in Portugal by events such as Southwest Tmn, Meet the Beat, Lux, Club Industry, this gentleman hailing by many as the best anthology of Reggae World, is a constant presence at best festivals around the world.
And on Tuesday, he will be back in Portugal at the Hard Club (Porto).

I don't believe, i miss this :S

I do not believe I missed a great party. on the last Friday in the Pitch (Porto), there were two great lords of the music, Jamaican "Perfect", and not least the British "Mark Kelly". As I talked to people who were there, both had spectacular performances. Again I say, I am so sorry for not having gone. Well, but I leave here some videos of them.

Bob Marley - One Love


One Love!
One Heart!
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin'
(One Love!);
Hear the children cryin'
(One Heart!),
Sayin': give thanks and praise
to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Sayin': let's get together
and feel all right.
Wo wo-wo wo-wo!

Let them all pass all their dirty
remarks (One Love!);
There is one question
I'd really love to ask (One Heart!):
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just
to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart?
One Heart!
What about?
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning
(One Love!);
So shall it be in the end
(One Heart!),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
and I will feel all right;
Let's get together
and feel all right.
One more thing!

Let's get together to fight
this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!),
So when the Man comes there will be no,
no doom (One Song!).
Have pity on those whose
chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place
from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One Love!
What about the One Heart?
(One Heart!)
What about the?
Let's get together and feel all right.
I'm pleadin' to mankind!
(One Love!);
Oh, Lord!
(One Heart)
Wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord
and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.

Bob Marley - Redemption Song


Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look
Huh, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the Book

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Oh, have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a-the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the Book

Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs,
All I ever had:
Redemption songs!
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom!

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?


Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone,
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light.


Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?


(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman!
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)


Don't let them change ya, oh! -
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We've got a life to live.
They say: only - only -
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive -
Stay alive! Eh!
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?


(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry;
No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied.)

Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry


No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh, good friends weve lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you cant forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh.

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
ere, little darlin, dont shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown.
And then georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which Ill share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So Ive got to push on through.
But while Im gone, I mean:
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
I said, everythings gonna be all right-a!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right, now!
Everythings gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, dont shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

I remember when we used to sit

Bob Marley - I Shot the Sheriff

"I Shot the Sheriff" is a song originally written by Bob Marley, told from the point of view of a man who admits to having killed the local sheriff, but claims to be falsely accused of having killed the deputy sheriff. He also claims to have acted in self defense when the sheriff tried to shoot him. The song was first released in 1973 on The Wailers' album Burnin'. Marley explained his intention as follows: "I want to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I shot the sheriff' instead... but it's the same idea: justice."
Souce: wikipedia.com

 

I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy

All around in my own town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy

I say:
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff,
And they say it is a capital offense

Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said: "Kill it before it grows"
He said: "Kill them before they grow"

I say:
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in self-defense

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down

I say:
I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy

Reflexes are the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out

I say:
I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff,
But I did not shoot the deputy

The King of Reggae - Bob Marley


I'll start by talking about the artist who made ​​me to know and love a music  genre, Reggae, a genre known for the GOOD VIBES. Of course I'm talking about Robert Nesta Marley, better known as Bob Marley. With a soft beat and with strong lyrics, Bob Marley became the voice icon to reggae and Jamaica, these are the features that make "The King of Reggae". My favorite hits are "Could You Be Loved", "One Love", "I Shot the Sheriff", "Stir It Up" "Three Little Birds", "Jamming" "Redemption Song" and of course I could not miss "No Woman, No Cry".
