Jah Works Radio 12/10/10 w/ special guest Wayne Wonder

Posted in Downloads, Interviews, Radio Shows with tags , , , , , , , , on December 11, 2010 by jahworksradio

Wayne Wonder joins us as the special guest on this week’s edition of Jah Works Radio.  During the interview, we discuss his early days living in Rae Town, what it was like cutting his first singles with King Tubby, his new single “If I ever”, and much more.  Listen to the interview at about the half hour mark of the show. 

Two hot riddims from 2010 (“City Life” and Ghetto Steam”) start out the show this week, with big tunes from Queen Ifrica, Natel, and Ras Myrdak among others.  Soon after, the spotlight is on Wayne Wonder as he joins us for an exclusive interview.  All the talk about the old days of niceness in the dancehall inspires an old school dancehall set soon after the Wayne Wonder interview, featuring artists like Lloyd Hemmings, Sugar Minott, Johnny Osbourne, and Al Campbell.  The last set of the show is straight ROOTS with wicked cuts from Jacob Miller, Prince Irey, Pat Kelly, and Jimmy Cliff ends the show with his beautiful “Sitting in limbo”.  

This is the official end of the show at midnight, BUT I decided to go late night style and take it a bit longer.  The rest of the show is straight vibes with no talking.  The last 45 minutes of the show probably features the most crucial set of the show, but you won’t find the playlist for this.  Just check it – trust me!

“Holding On To Jah”

Posted in Videos with tags , , , , on December 2, 2010 by jahworksradio

“The film takes viewers on a journey to the heart of the Rasta movement and shows us how, against great odds, a message of salvation and redemption was born. With courage, tenacity, and faith, the Rastafarian movement emerged, struggled, and continues to thrive. Through all their tribulations they continue to stand firm in their convictions, HOLDING ON TO JAH.” – holdingontojah.com

This video is now touring the independent film circuit.  It should be available for purchase in the next few months.  Big up Harrison Stafford (From the group “Groundation”) and Roger Hall for their hard work filming and producing this movie over many years. 

R.I.P. Joseph Hill and Sugar Minott (featured in this film)

Greetings Massive!
