Bushman Mix | Reggae Lover Podcast Episode 95

by Food, History, News, Podcasts, reggae, Reggae Lover Podcast • Tags: , , ,

Hear some of my favorite tracks from Bushman’s catalog on episode 95 of the reggae lover podcast. Bushman has released nine full-length albums to date.

Born in Prospect Beach which is in the parish of St. Thomas, Jamaica, he was raised as a Rastafarian. Singing in school and church choirs led to singing dubplates for local sound systems. Bushman actually worked as a selector under the name Junior Melody for black star line sound system.  He took part in singing competitions and talent searches in and around St. Thomas. His popularity grew as more people heard him sing.

Bushman decided to pursue his music career. He went to Kingston where he ended up working with Steely and Clevie at Studio 2000. His first tracks were “Grow Your Natty” and “Call the Hearse” which was his first major hit. Bushman moved on to work with King Jammy who produced his next two albums. He later teamed up with Bobby Digital, the UK-based Stingray team, and other producers.

I respect Bushman for being a down-to-earth, authentic person who stays true to the values in his music. He still lives with his wife and children in St. Thomas enjoying nature and an “Ital” lifestyle.

Bushman is a living legend with a vocal range encompassing tonality reminiscent of Luciano and Peter Tosh. I want to highlight the “Bushman sings the bush doctor” album released in 2011 on VP records which is a fantastic Peter Tosh tribute. Also look out for “Conquering Lion” which is a 2018 released album from Bushman. There are few better examples of authentic Roots reggae music than Bushman.

Indeed on that tip please look out for the annual Health and Wellness Reggae Music Festival at the Wren’s Nest in the West End area of Atlanta. Taking place on Saturday, July 14th, this festival is an open-air, family-friendly, daytime event where I will play music alongside the Lion of Judah sound. There will be live bands and many performers. There will be Health practitioners, vendors, and lots of information. If you are vegan, vegetarian, or have an interest in learning more about healthy living, this event is for you. If you love reggae music, its an event for you. 

Thank you to all my listeners around the world. Special big ups to Ras Jamal in Savannah, GA, Collin Cameron out in New Jersey, and James Kajob out in Kenya. You guys are not only listening, but I appreciate that you take the time to send feedback and suggestions. Because of you, this podcast is a collaborative effort and it’s a beautiful thing. Big ups to Ali Carter for granting me that dope interview released earlier this week.

Look out for more interviews and mixes. Download and subscribe to the podcast. This show is dedicated to all reggae lovers. Thank you so much for listening. Give thanks. Until next time, one love.

Live Concerts Mix | Reggae Lover Podcast Episode 93

by History, Live Sounds, News, Podcasts, reggae, Reggae Lover Podcast • Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Imagine being in the house for the ultimate reggae concert headlined by Bob Marley and friends.

Bob opens the show setting the mood for a night of stellar entertainment. Steel Pulse performs, then to the crowd’s surprise, Dennis Brown takes the stage. After D. Brown rocks, he invites U-Roy to come up and sing. The Wailers, Dennis Brown, and daddy U-Roy take turns thrilling the audience.

Next, on stage, we have Culture with original singer, Joseph Hill at his peak. Freddie McGregor joins in to deliver one of his greatest hits. Peter Tosh follows with two of his notorious numbers. Bob and U-Roy return to partake in the elevating vibes before making way for Frankie Paul.

F.P. displays crowd control and exemplifies dancehall style as the crowd jumps and sings out loud. The Steel Pulse band returns to contribute more musical excitement infused with meaning. Then to close the show, the legend, Ms. Lauryn Hill shuts it down as only L Boogie could.

Now that would be a bucket-list concert experience!

A Cry for Peace | Reggae Lover Podcast Episode 92

by News, Podcasts, reggae, Reggae Lover Podcast • Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

A cry for peace from global reggae artists in a mix dedicated to all reggae lovers.

This is crucial for today’s society. The climate we exist in right now is one of escalating violence. War is on the rise throughout my beloved Caribbean islands and the areas where many of us live.

I definitely want to send condolences to all the people who lost loved ones to violence. Gun violence is a hot topic with so many active shooter situations, police brutality, turf wars in the ghetto, the war on drugs, domestic violence, and genocide. It’s my hope that playing this music will help.

All human life is precious and it’s important that we manage our emotions so that we don’t do anything we live to regret. To hurt somebody else is to hurt yourself. You don’t have to be a victim of your environment. It is possible to make a better decision and rise above your circumstances.

Love is the answer. The wages of sin is death. The gift of God is eternal life. Let’s come together in peace. Make amends with an enemy. Turn an enemy into a friend. Teach the younger ones a better way so that they can come up in a better world. They are the future.

With so many things going on in the world today I don’t want to turn on the news. I know for some of you it hard to leave your house or move around where you live. The violence is a real thing but remember God is there with you. Remember reggae music is here to help you through. Its a blessing, so I hope that you enjoy this music. 

I hope that it can help in some positive way. Thank you so much for listening to Reggae Lover by Highlanda Sound.  Shouts out to Mrs. Wonda. Shouts to Ras Kofi and I Ras at 89.3 WRFG FM.  Big up to the Apple Podcast, SoundCloud, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, and TuneIn listeners. You guys are the best! Share the peace and love.
