Angola…  Man, talking about a collision of ideas, cultures and fortunes…  Damn. Colonized by the Portuguese the influence is felt but even more is the backlash, the resistance, and and the sounds of survival.

Slavodelic podcast 24 – Jamaica

Play

Jamaica… Man the cultural interplay between the US and Jamaica and the exchange and development of musical ideas has been eye opening for me. So much of modern US music across popular genres has so many Jamaican connections and influences. Shout out To DeeJay Slippy Mike from FredomSounds for starting the ball swinging and getting me back to what really matters. Listening to music nonstop and putting playlists together.

Mexico the land of speed bumps that will bump you. Mexico the land that will now rock you, seduce you, and mariachi you so you will come visit me!

So, sit back my friends… just sit back and be translated.

Ahh, France where people speak French. I can’t get over some of these rockin french ladies.

I’ve been looking up some videos and I’ll keep posting them below the playlist. We’ll start with some sleazy old Serge trying to win over Whitney.
