Jr. Gong All Night Long
Another great tune recently heard on Sirius Disorder… this one comes from Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley’s third and latest release, ‘Welcome to Jamrock” (2005). The album is produced by Damian and brother Stephen. Jr. Damian is the youngest singing son of Bob Marley, and his nickname is based on his dad’s oft-used nickname “Tuff Gong”. I love the groove on this one. It’s not reggae per se, but some other island flavored style. Anybody know?

ska?

Absolutely not ska. It’s much closer to dancehall.

its an evolution of old school roots reggae and modern dancehall (sean paul-like music) and its called RAGGAMUFFIN (word for a ghetto youth in jamaican english) or simply RAGGA. This is the very common in jamaican music of today, like for junior kelly, sizzla, jah mason…
The song “welcome to jamrock” talks about political problems and violence in jamaica. i love it soo much!!
Blessed
