BOOK CLUB PICK: Reggae Got Soul: Jamaican Covers and Their Originals - From the '60s into the '80s.


From the early 1960s, and even earlier, it was quite common in Jamaica for artists to cut their own versions of songs made famous by US performers. That is hardly surprising, given how wildly popular these records were on the island, thanks to the early sound system pioneers who brought in soul, R&B, and pop from the United States.

In this book, we aim to trace the roots of many of those covers and the artists behind them. Because the number of cover versions is so vast, we have limited our selection to songs in the Black Music genre.

Here’s a Brazilian Reggae Creation With a Rustic, Down-to-Earth Vibe.


 

Here’s a Brazilian Reggae creation with a rustic, down-to-earth vibe. Bold vocals riding over a stripped-back riddim bring the setting into focus and really showcase the vocalist’s skill. A must-hear for every Latin Dancehall fan. Eight tracks deep and produced by Brazil's Circuito Bahia.



This is the second volume of Circuito Bahia Riddim, produced by Bahia musician Victor Badaró, who has been collaborating with artists from many corners of the world, including Brazil, Canada, Suriname, Holland, Belize, and Trinidad and Tobago. The collective project was born from the desire to build a sense of unity, bringing artists together so they can join forces and spread reggae’s good energy and conscious messages to as many people as possible. The compilation follows a release style inspired by Jamaican riddims and aims to connect with the Salvador Reggae Love concept, a message that is more open to every audience without losing touch with its roots.
