November 2008 - Brethren in Canada?
Sure thing! It's not only the title of one
of the tracks in this highly danceable mix
of Jamaican, UK and Canadian Reggae, it's a
statement of fact too.
Canada's
Reggae history is almost as old as Reggae
itself. When Jackie Mittoo settled down in
Toronto in 1969, he was one of the first to
introduce the music to the second largest
country of the world.
He wasn't
the last, either. Roots singer Willi
Williams, for example, is another one. The
list goes further and shows the long time
relationship of Canada with Reggae Music.
Brethren in
Canada? Of course!
The people
behind the Toronto-based Dub Connection
Podcast give us a few crucial Canadian
Reggae tunes and combined them with some of
the better works from Jamaica and the UK
from roughly the early 1980's until now.
The result
is a highly danceable mix of several styles
of Reggae Music: Rub a Dub, Ragga,
Dancehall, UK DUB, Roots, et cetera.
Definitely not a mix-up without structure,
definitely not a mix without quality.
