I love all Jamaican Music genres especially this song because the Jamaican Music and African Music have the same umbilical cord. I am the Chief/Dufia (Traditional Ruler) of my hometown Akuave in the Avenor Traditional Area/Council of the Eweland, Akatsi South Municipal Assembly, Volta Region of Ghana. I am from Ghana, Africa. #Raspek.

I can hear the sound of an instrument from Senegal 🇸🇳 an instrument like a traditional african guitar with three strings called xalam in wolof language, an instrument with a very nice and powerful sound. Usually, in Senegalese traditions, elderly griots play it to reveal a message and usually an historic and heroic message. Diola people from southern Senegal danse really well to these drums on the song. The saxophone is amazing or flute. There’s a great link to west African culture with this classic song and a deep connection.i get so emotional and deeply connected to my roots as an african.

more than likely Yoruba influenced Jamaican culture since it's technically older but in the 21st century we're re-influencing each other all over again. Mento borrows from Yoruba and other African cultures, and now straight up reggae/dancehall music is being played all over Africa. Full circle my brothers and sisters.

You know I was watching the original Moby Dick movie with Gregory Peck made in 1956 and heard the what I imagine was the Jamaican timekeeper setting the pace on the longboat and this was what he was signing to keep time, I grew up on these movies but never realised this choon was in it until just yesterday while watching it, it's a weird thing and a talking point I can't even raise with most people around me because they won't have a clue as to the significance of what I'm trying to put across. 1956 they made that movie and this choon was used, just think about that......
