quote [ Meshing dancehall, dub, techno and industrial, Bristol?s Bokeh Versions label has carved a unique niche in the UK underground. ]
Great label ? thought I had posted this before, but no. Thumb: bleached merch. This very much follows the tradition of On-U-Sound.

quote [ My name is John Riley I'll have your ear only a while
I left my dear home in Ireland It was death, starvation or exile And when I got to America It was my duty to go Enter the Army and slog across Texas To join in the war against Mexico It was there in the pueblos and hillsides That I saw the mistake I had made Part of a conquering army With the morals of a bayonet blade So in the midst of these poor, dying Catholics Screaming children, the burning stench of it all Myself and two hundred Irishmen Decided to rise to the call ] I had no idea it was Saint Patrick's day until about 5 minutes ago. Been listening to this beautiful song all afternoon since I had it shared with me.

quote [ What is Makossa? The genre originated from the Douala word for dance, ?kossa? and was popularise by refrains and chorus of popular Cameroonian songs in the 1950?s. The musical form and dances existed over the years but its christening came from the smash hit by Manu Dibango ? Soul Makossa. [?] Indeed, the chorus, ?mamako, mamasa, maka makossa? led it to international acclaim when Michael Jackson sampled it on his song ?Wanna Be Starting Something?. ]
Great album and great writeup for genre history. Already more than 5 years since they compiled this album.

quote [ The album will likely be deleted in about a month. In the meantime, it is here to demonstrate that all men are brothers. Any of the musicians, were they alive today, would have wanted to contribute to this effort, I am sure. ]
Just learned that the fine label compiled immigrant music on occasion of the ? still ongoing ? quakes.

quote [ Boy, that's a very ? mystical sound there ]
Nice to see some late material. Yma Sumac kind of reappeared with the exotica retro wave in the early 2000s but I guess the legacy was never obscured. Check out the vocal range.
