Tonight a we run tings...tings nah run we!

HARD RUB-A-DUB MIX

Since StranJah has been living in Brazil he wanted to build another "local" sound so that Moa Anbessa would be exclusively an international attraction when the 3 selectors would spar. He then created a sound in Sao Paulo which focuses mainly on the Rub-A-Dub era dubbed Reggaematic Sound; This is the first mixtape released to the public as Reggaematic.

Hope you enjoy it!

CLEMENT "COXSONE" DODD TRIBUTE

For the first time ever in Brazil, Moa Anbessa Intl. & Jurassic Sound join their vast and deep Studio 1 boxes for an homage at the one true pioneer that set the blue print of what reggae has become today! PERIOD.

PRESSURE DROP!

A new night has emmerged in Sao Paulo with one of Moa Anbessa's frontline soldiers: StranJah. The free weekly event counts on the presence of other sound selectors from Boom Shot, Zion Brothers, and even recently Fepa from Muamba Sound. The Happy Hour like event goes only from 6pm to 11pm and opens its turntables to new upcoming selectors from 6-7:30pm that wish to experience juggling rather than the traditional one turntable + echo box style omnipresent in Brazil. From Rocksteady to today's jams, we fill the rest of the timeline with boom tunes from every era with a tad of Scotch Bonnet Peppa!

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.

VETERAN DEEJAY!

First and foremost, "WELCOME to One & All!". After many years we have finally decided on creating a real Blog for MOA ANBESSA SOUNDS

This Blog, focused on the Jamaican Music & Culture, will consist of the works, interests, and chunes we are constantly working with and discovering along the way. So PLEASE KEEP CHECKING US OUT!!

As a "starter" we are please to inform you about our colab event with Dubversao in Sao Paulo, Brazil: The Veteran Deejay WELTON IRIE.

Welton Dobson, 1960, Jamaica, West Indies.

"Welton began his career performing as, simply, Welton, toasting for Big John's Stereophonic Sound (later known as Echo Tone Hi Fi) from 1976 till 1981. He initially emulated his hero Ranking Trevor, sometimes proving indistinguishable. Welton built up a hardcore group of devotees, enabling him to introduce young talent to the sound. One of Welton's proteges was General Echo, who, alongside Big John and Flux, was inexplicably gunned down by police in Kingston. They were the first artist who used slackness in there lyrics long time before Yellowman was crown as King of Slackness. Welton moved to the Gemini sound, notable for allowing Yellowman to make his debut on the sound system circuit in a clash with Jack Ruby's Hi Power sound. Gemini was one of the biggest and well known sound in this time. Following his departure to the Virgo sound, Johnny Ringo stepped in and Welton performed alongside the Lone Ranger. Welton and the Lone Ranger began their recording careers as a duo with Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, performing in a style similar to Michigan And Smiley. It was at this time that Welton added Irie to his name following a recommendation from Dodd. The duo recorded a version of "Joe Frazier" for "Big Fight" and echoed Bob Marley with "Chase Them Crazy". The partnership was short-lived, and in the early 80s Welton released a succession of hits for a variety of producers, including "The Bomb" over the Baba Boom rhythm and "Army Life", which inspired Yellowman's preferred interpretation, retitled "Soldier Take Over". A session with Sly And Robbie resulted in the number 1 hit "Ballerina", followed by the equally popular tribute to marijuana, "Lambs Bread International". Welton also demonstrated that he was a proponent of black pride with the unyielding "Black Man Stand Up Pon Foot". Other songs included "Parish Connection", "Dance A Cork", "A Weh You Fah", "Serve Me Long", "Jailhouse Affair", "How You Keep A Dance" and "Come Nurse". By 1983 Welton returned to the Gemini Sound for an international tour alongside Johnny Ringo and Squiddly Ranking." (text: courtesy of Mr. Dobson via telephone.)
