PUT IT DOWN!



In August 2008, Welton Irie spent a few days in Sao Paulo - Brazil, performing for the 1st time ever in South America. Thanks to the collaboration between Moa Anbessa Sounds & Dubversao, we were able to offer the Brazilian massive 3 successful events. In this (dark) video you get a hint of Welton's vibe during the 1st night. Although he admitted being a little rusty since he last performed in Europe two years ago, Welton Irie still managed to kick up rumpus!

The next day was a cold one, even for Brazil, and an afternoon show that still manages to attract 200 people or so bubbling to the wicked rub-a-dub versions of Irie's style. You can hear the full session (along with Dubversao selecting before, during and after) at this following link: http://dubversao.com.br/som/sescWelton.mp3

On the last event, alongside Moa Anbessa Sounds selector StranJah, the vibe was ripe with 500+ in the crowd cheering the veteran deejay as he performed a bag ful-a-lyrics over Studio1, Channel One and Dynamite riddims. After 3 days performing Welton Irie was feeling the vibe back on the mic. As soon as we get the recording in hand.. it will be posted.

Curti o som da banda no pelô domingo e percebi como há uma frequente indagação sobre como é ser negro ou gostar de reggae. "Essa conversa que preto "roots" é preto pobre é preto sujo
Tu aprendeu na escola". Sou negro, bahiano e reggeiro... nem por isso vou me limitar a seguir um padrão... ñ e pq eu nasci na bahia ñ vou poder usar determinado tipo de roupa... nos negro cobramos tanto respeito q acabamos esquecendo de respeitar o diferente.

Caro Ijahwel i'n'i, gostaria de lembrar q impor Estereótipos nos remete a manifestações como racismo, xenofobia, homofobia, machismo e intolerância... preconceito gera perconceito.

Gostei muito do som da banda... reggae de qualidade... rolando outro show no pelô pode contar com minha presença*.
