I'm a huge fan of Yoshida Brothers. They are bloody awesome.
got copies of a gouple of their albums a while back - but hadn't heard the first track . . . the funny thing is it was a conversation about banjos they came up (how the shamisen is played, sounds etc) . . . anyways this guy was the main topic - he can really play some

Jackie Edwards, a truly unsung hero of Jamaican music. I love this video, it shows how bare bone Reggae is when it is reduced to its essential form: drum, bass, organ, guitar and a singer with a badass voice and a nice little tune… The recording booth wall is lined with egg boxes, in a truly roots fashion, the mikes are rudimentary, everything is minimal, yet it works and it is truly wonderful. I love it.
And now, Delroy Wilson, one of the most soulful singers ever to emerge out of Jamaica
Shit, I could spend the whole day playing some of that…

The true essence of Jamaican music is the dancehall, where artists entertain the patrons by singing or DJ-ing over instrumentals of the hits of the day. Here is a fascinating (at least for Reggae fans!) scene shot in 1984, the golden age for DJ's and rubadub Reggae. It HOT!!!
