December 2007 - You don't need a
language gene to figure out that here is
Mukti Sound System presenting a Lion
Selection.
You need
a Reggae gene for it, or a DUB gene. Do you
have one?
The Lion
Selection opens up with a short reasoning by
the Rastafari Elders. If you are -like some
others- claiming that DUB cannot carry a
message and is basically "dumb"
music, you have just woken up the Lion and
you really shouldn't do that.
Or maybe
you should and really feel the strength of
DUB. For if there is one thing that
describes this excellent Podcast, it must be
the well-placed title, even though it is
written in a language that many do not
understand.
DUB truly
is one of the strongest disciplines within
Reggae Music and even beyond that. As the
words are scarce, the music obviously
appeals to more parts of our consciousness
than just the language section.
A Lion
communicates without words. You could say,
that until a certain level DUB does the
same. DUB appeals straight to those parts in
our soul that deal with things
"unspeakable".
Just ask
Mukti and he will tell you.
In fact, he
already did and the result is reviewed right
here.
Mukti's Lion
Selection basically consists out of the
better DUB material from all over the world.
Material that isn't necessarily that known
within the circles of those that know their
Reggae and especially their DUB.
We will
hear King Jammy dubbing the Japanese band
Dry and Heavy, for example. Zenzile is there
too, a great DUB band that many may never
have heard of before.
From the
top to the very last drop, everything is
mixed very skillfully. Non-stop, we are
taken from one crucial selection into the
next. As we move through a wide variety of
vibes and styles, times and places, the
message is clear: Those who claim DUB is
"dumb music" are themselves really
deaf.
