Title: Are you really a Rasta Dread Thread?
Post by: r0nd0gg on February 14, 2007, 11:30:53 PM
napaka lungkot na marami sa nagrereggae dito s pinas na hindi naman nila naiintindihan ang ibig sabihin ng Rastafari at pag Dedreadlocks. For me, Reggae music is not only feeling music and smoking marijuana. dapat malaman natin kung ano yung puno't dulo ng lahat ng ito. ang reggae ay ang kwento ng mga tao sa Jamaica at ang pakikipaglaban nila sa paniniwala nila. si Bob Marley, Peter Tosh at marami pang iba ang mga nag silbing messenger sa mundo ng kwento ng mga Rastafarian. Ang reggae music is a music for a cause, musika na nag lalayunin na mabago ang pananaw ng mundo. reggae music is spiritual music, you feel it, you dont hear it. Dreadlocks is not a fashion nor status symbol, dreadlocks is sacred you wear it with respect. kahit hindi ka naka dreadlock basta alam mo yung roots ng Rastafari by heart you are surely a Rastaman.
Reggae Music penetrates the Mind, Body and Soul... reggae music is not what you hear, reggae music is what you feel, and if you dont feel reggae music, you will never know it. –Peter Tosh

Oh how I wish to see more posts like this out here...
First things first, Reggae and Rastafari are two different things. Not all Reggae listeners are Rasta and not all Reggae music is about Rastafari.
Rastas embraced Reggae as a vehicle to convey their positive spiritual messages, as well as to enlighten those who have been blinded by all the [strawberry] of the Babylon [gooey brown stuff].
Rastafari, whose beliefs and practices are deeply rooted in Christianity (which incidentally traces its origins in Ethiopia), is not a religion per se but rather a path taken by those who seek enlightenment. This is pretty much similar to the path taken by the Rizalistas, the Ascetics and Buddhists in Asia, the Amish in Amerikkka, etc etc
The wearing of dreadlocks (which gives Rastas that "dreadful appearance) can be traced back to Biblical times as the Nazarenes took on the vow not to cut nor comb their locks (hair). Another significant influence to the Rastafari practice of growing their locks was a photo of Kenyan Mau-Mau warriors fighting alongside HIM Hailie Selassie I when Ethiopia was being attacked by Mussolinni's forces in the 1930's, which they successfully repelled.
Dreadlocks was also a sign of not conforming to the established norms of Babylon. Back in 1950's and 60's Jamaica, flashing your locks in public was an act of defiance and could land you in jail. Sad to say, in these present times, it has been reduced to a mere fashion [strawberry] by morons in red gold and green outfits mimicking all the patois they could imitate (and not understand) and land you a spot on some stupid sensationalist tv show cleverly disguising itself as an investitigative reportage.
As for the pathetic state of the local Reggae scene, I would have to say that it would take us years (I even seriously doubt that I will see it in my lifetime), before most of our musicians and listeners alike, truly grasp the true essence of what Reggae and Rasta truly is. To this day, I have only seen a handful of musicians who know how to play Reggae (from the heart) and understand its meaning. The rest are just leeches sucking on to keep their poseur asses alive. Many are called, but few are chosen. You've got to beware of wolve in sheep's clothing... as the saying goes.
Its good to know that there are still free thinkers like you who do not swallow all the [strawberry] out there. May your tribe increase ten thousand fold rondogg!
Until we overcome the "Doobie Nights" and Xaymaca syndromes that plague the curent scene, I guess we're all riding up [gooey brown stuff] creek my friend... and this is where I'n'I get off.

may comment ako dyan sa Doobie nights compilattion... yung ibang mga banda dun and halos lahat pera lang yung peace pipe, coffee break at may ilan pa naman na real reaggae... pero karamihan lalo na yung bandang nag sisimula sa The "C" napanuod ko sila, binaboy lng nila yung reggae, and i will consider them as a reggae band. beat lang nila reggae and most of the time heavy riffs sila.. sana nag alternative na lng sila... binababoy lng nia yung reggae music.. sila yung isang example ng naka dreads lang reggae na ang tingin nila sa sarili nila... binastos lang nila yung music.

I see. I know them personally. I don't think that they joined that compilation just for the money and that they mistreated the genre. I don't like that kind of reggae as well, but thats their stuff and we just gonna have to respect it. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. They were just trying to make a difference in their own way. But I agree that some of them were just bogus, pretending to be a reggae band, but I have nothing against them. Lets get better, start with the man in the mirror. Inspire others to dig deeper and embrace reggae as a whole. Improve the state of reggae in our country. Stop the negativity. Peace.

hindi naman ako against sa sinasabi mo na respect natin yung ginagawa nilang music. they are good. but i guess they have the wrong attitude, and i think it comes along. siguro nga na pa skank lang ang karamihan sa kanila kaya sila sa album na yun. and i learn to accept the fact not to blame them on spreading such music. eh dapat siguro nag submit din ako ng demo at baka ako pa yung krini-criticize d2 sa Thread na to. hehe..

i just want to clear that this thread is not about 1 person or 1 band who's on the hot seat. but in this small space they are getting 2 kinds of publicity: 1st they are getting known, 2nd they get criticize. they are lucky 50%.
and if any topic will reach these personalities and bands, they are free to join this thread.
the important thing is we could change facts and opinions about what we are goin to talk about in the future. everybody is free to speak what's in his mind and heart.
we can educate and be educated :-)

i totally agree with you but it's hard to become a rasta when you're born and raised as an indio. doobie nights and xaymaca syndrome? hmm... last time i checked doobie nights is just a radio show/album and xaymaca is just a place for gathering and good music, same goes for chakik's and island riddims :wink: most of the wolves in sheeps clothing nowadays are not musicians (although some are, at least i know one) but prods who offer a good helping hand but don't give the musicians the right pay after the album is produced, in short - soloista/gustong yumaman agad! i enjoy playing reggae music every single time i get up on stage, but that doesn't make me a rasta or an idiot trying to be a rasta. the world is opening-up to new things, iba nung panahon ni bob marley sa panahon ngayon. music has changed in style, groove and even in concept (like the reggae-hardcore bands which i personally don't dig) which is a good thing because at least musicians are coming up with new ideas. it's all up to us listeners if we would support these artists because if nobody listens anymore they'd most probably shut up

the c. hehe. i know them...they're good friends. hindi naman tama yata yung "binaboy" na term. think of it like this...kumakain ba kayo ng adobong may mayonnaise? binaboy mo na ba yung adobo pag nilagyan mo ng mayonnaise? i don't think so. pero may magsasabi na "yak, kadiri ka naman". eh kung sa nasasarapan ako eh. parang spaghetti na may peanut butter.
it's just a matter of choice and taste. for some, it will never be true reggae. for some, it's just plain music that they can enjoy. for some, it's funny. respect nalang.

Now, whoever said that you had to be a Rasta to enjoy listening to, and playing Reggae? I think you should brush up a little more on your comprehension skills before you start firing away my friend. Faith and music have no boundaries. It sees no race, no color, no creed. Don't use it as an excuse to cover up for your lack of understanding.
As for your other insinuations, I suggest you start naming names and backing them up with facts and hard evidence. Otherwise, all these would be reduced to the level of plain gossip and hearsay. I would like to dwell more on this topic but I really don't think this is the proper forum for such, so I suggest you open a new thread and I will divulge all the dirt you can ever imagine. Believe me, once I open my mouth, the sh*t's gonna hit the fan so hard you had better run for cover.
For now, all I can say is, if it weren't for producers who go out of their way to get these bands heard, most (if not all) of them would still be playing for peanuts in some uncharted hole-in-the-wall bar along with dozens of other bands who will eventually get lost in obscurity. I bet you don't even have the slightest idea as to how much a producer spends before an album deal gets approved ... and that comes out of his or her own pocket. Believe me, its more money than you've ever made in your life.
Fact is - and you can ask any band who's been in the recording business for years - there is really no money to be made by making an album as most of the expenses go into production. Its the gigs you get when the album is released that's financially rewarding. Well, that's if you know how to play your cards right. Bottomline is, if you don't have a long-term goal and you think you know this business more than we do, then go right ahead and make your mark. Mahirap magmarunong kung di mo naman talaga alam ang puno't dulo ng bawa't bagay.
As far as new ideas being injected into the genre are concerned, I'm all for it for as long as the people concerned know what they're doing. Therefore, it would be wise to know the rule before you start breaking it. Sad to say, all these so called "new" ideas that you're referring to have all been done before and sounded a whole lot better back then when musicians had more heart and conviction. The problem is you all think it's new because your musical history only goes back to a certain period. Try digging deeper and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

first up, i'm not naming names because this does not concern a certain individual.

spending money on a band is one thing, but getting properly paid for is another. yes, it's true, some prods go out of their way to get these bands heard and they shell-out money and all that but don't they get paid back? doesn't the record company provide the budget for the band and all their recording expenses?

The recording company allots a certain amount for recording expenses. But most of the time, the producer goes over the budget due to the following reasons...
1)The band takes too long in the studio eating up precious hours
2) The producer opts to hire session musicians to fill in for incompetent musicians.
3) People from the record label usually ask for a cut from the production budget
These are just some of the unseen expenses that you do not seem to keep into account.
so ano po ba ang puno't-dulo ng mga bagay? di po ako nagmamarunong, nakikialam lang :wink:
My goodness, you were born with a mind of your own, go figure it out... and while you're at it, try working on your sarcasm a little bit more.
so you're saying musicians nowadays don't have heart and conviction? that everything sounded much better then than now? i'm sorry but i think that's crap! i envy you because you lived in an era of legends and great music (while all i can do is just watch it in dvd and listen to an edited recording) but there's nothing i can do about that. yup, you're probably older than i am but does that really make you superior? does that give you the right to say what is and what's not? it's hard to dig-up history because it goes waaaay back... reason why i'm living in the present and not in the past.
My friend, age has nothing to do with the issue here. It's how well you know and understand your music that's being discussed and you are simply going off tangent with your rantings. I know a 19 year old kid who probably knows more about reggae than you do... and can play it way better than you. Oh yes, I've seen you play and you aren't even halfway to being mediocre. Sad to say, I would have to answer YES to your question. This of course is not a sweeping statement. There are a few exceptional bands out there from all sorts of genres, including reggae, that I quite admire. But, they're just a handful of gold nuggets you find in a river of sh*t.
I do not have any right to say what you should or should not listen to, but I have every right to say what is crap and what is good. If you think digging up history is a tedious task, then I pity you. You have the luxury of today's technology and yet you still choose not to learn. All the information you need is at your fingertips but I think you'd rather be spoon-fed like a baby. Some heart and conviction you have, huh?
Just to give you the benefit of the doubt, give me some examples of these so-called "new ideas" of yours and let's see if we can make anything out of it... just for the heck of it.
again this is just my opinion based on what you had to say. if i sound offensive, i'm sorry. i'm taking this as a healthy argument, nothing personal.
No offense taken and I hope you don't take any as well. Excuse my frankness, but I would rather say everything in your face than talk behind your back.

Ok ok.. its a money money thing.. parang global warming effect yan. umuunlad ang ilang tao sa mga natural resources, at pag kumita sila hindi naman nila binabalik sa kalikhasan to. i think ganun yung ginagawa ng artist and record companies na nababangit sa thread. you just cant say kung ayaw mo sa kanila wag mong pakinggan. no offense man. but i think is a wrong idea. imagine.. kung maririnig ng mga jamaicans yung ginagawa nila.. ang sasabihin nila... anong ginawa nyo sa music namin. parang yang isang novelty composer na ginagamit ang charismatic melodies sa isang jingle na may double meaning. ok lang kung sa kabutihan ginagamit. pero kung kabastusan lang gagamitin would you call that respect?
meron tayong pagpipilian kung pakikinggan natin si o hindi. meron silang karapatan para gawin ang gusto nilang gawing musika. at hindi natin sila hinahadlangan sa mga pangarap nila. pero bago mawala ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng reggae mag isip ka. tama ba ang ginagawa nila. lets use raggae music for good cause, not just making money and losing it.

i agree but reggae music is still music, hindi maiiwasan ang business kapag music ang pinag-uusapan. mas mahalaga para sa mas maraming producer ang kumita kahit walang mapupulot sa music, kesa sa magkaroon ng laman ang music pero hindi naman maibenta. laging nananalo ang mas marketable. ilan ang kantang naririnig natin talking about revolution, change, reality, etc. etc. na nabibigyan ng airplay sa radyo? at ilan ang naririnig nating kanta na tungkol sa pagkembot pero sobrang sikat, kahit bata eh kinakanta na? ano ang mas gugustuhing ilabas ng tipikal na producer, yung nauna o yung pangalawa? i can't mention names because i really don't know any names, pero i'm not naive about what is really happening in the music scene. peace :)

spending money on a band is one thing, but getting properly paid for is another. yes, it's true, some prods go out of their way to get these bands heard and they shell-out money and all that but don't they get paid back? doesn't the record company provide the budget for the band and all their recording expenses?
The recording company allots a certain amount for recording expenses. But most of the time, the producer goes over the budget due to the following reasons...
1)The band takes too long in the studio eating up precious hours
2) The producer opts to hire session musicians to fill in for incompetent musicians.
3) People from the record label usually ask for a cut from the production budget
These are just some of the unseen expenses that you do not seem to keep into account.
so ano po ba ang puno't-dulo ng mga bagay? di po ako nagmamarunong, nakikialam lang :wink:
My goodness, you were born with a mind of your own, go figure it out... and while you're at it, try working on your sarcasm a little bit more.
so you're saying musicians nowadays don't have heart and conviction? that everything sounded much better then than now? i'm sorry but i think that's crap! i envy you because you lived in an era of legends and great music (while all i can do is just watch it in dvd and listen to an edited recording) but there's nothing i can do about that. yup, you're probably older than i am but does that really make you superior? does that give you the right to say what is and what's not? it's hard to dig-up history because it goes waaaay back... reason why i'm living in the present and not in the past.
My friend, age has nothing to do with the issue here. It's how well you know and understand your music that's being discussed and you are simply going off tangent with your rantings. I know a 19 year old kid who probably knows more about reggae than you do... and can play it way better than you. Oh yes, I've seen you play and you aren't even halfway to being mediocre. Sad to say, I would have to answer YES to your question. This of course is not a sweeping statement. There are a few exceptional bands out there from all sorts of genres, including reggae, that I quite admire. But, they're just a handful of gold nuggets you find in a river of sh*t.
I do not have any right to say what you should or should not listen to, but I have every right to say what is crap and what is good. If you think digging up history is a tedious task, then I pity you. You have the luxury of today's technology and yet you still choose not to learn. All the information you need is at your fingertips but I think you'd rather be spoon-fed like a baby. Some heart and conviction you have, huh?
Just to give you the benefit of the doubt, give me some examples of these so-called "new ideas" of yours and let's see if we can make anything out of it... just for the heck of it.
again this is just my opinion based on what you had to say. if i sound offensive, i'm sorry. i'm taking this as a healthy argument, nothing personal.
No offense taken and I hope you don't take any as well. Excuse my frankness, but I would rather say everything in your face than talk behind your back.
cheers,
franco

well said, no offense taken :-) pramis! hehehe! i would really love to chat (non-violent) with you in person :-D i'm kinda new to the "pathetic" reggae scene since i've always been a punk drummer, maybe you could enlighten me. as to the new ideas, i believe i didn't mention anything about coming up with one. i only said that bands nowadays are cooking up music to come up with a different sound like, let's say, soulfly. i heard a track which started out very roots-ish type of reggae then the chorus burst-out something like slipknot :-o *lol* indio-i, on the other hand, mixes a bit of funk & jazz with reggae and the flavor they came-up with is better than cookies and cream. thanks for staying positive, i'm gonna have to give you the floor on this one :wink: damn! yer good

i totally agree with you but it's hard to become a rasta when you're born and raised as an indio. doobie nights and xaymaca syndrome? hmm... last time i checked doobie nights is just a radio show/album and xaymaca is just a place for gathering and good music, same goes for chakik's and island riddims :wink: most of the wolves in sheeps clothing nowadays are not musicians (although some are, at least i know one) but prods who offer a good helping hand but don't give the musicians the right pay after the album is produced, in short - soloista/gustong yumaman agad! i enjoy playing reggae music every single time i get up on stage, but that doesn't make me a rasta or an idiot trying to be a rasta. the world is opening-up to new things, iba nung panahon ni bob marley sa panahon ngayon. music has changed in style, groove and even in concept (like the reggae-hardcore bands which i personally don't dig) which is a good thing because at least musicians are coming up with new ideas. it's all up to us listeners if we would support these artists because if nobody listens anymore they'd most probably shut up

merong isang topic na sana mabigyan natin ng pansin. maliit na bagay to kung titingnan nyo pero malaki ang effect neto sa reggae and ska scene. mag bigay kayo ng opinion.
siempre involve dito ang pera, pera saka pera. kung napapansin nyo yung mga binebenta na reggae stuffs: bracelet, necklace,Tshirt, etc. Green, Gold, Red... usually yan ang nakikita natin. alam ba yan lahat ng tao. sombody don't give a damn about it. kaya marijuana leaf ang subject tapos yan ang backround sa bawat reggae items na makikita mo? kaya minsan pag nakita ng magulang mo ang unang tanong.."addict ka ba anak?" para sa akin mali yun. mahirap nila maiintindihan to. kasi iisipin nila sira ulo ka. pero atleast meron kang proof na mali ang sinasabi nila.
come and let's educate people. give facts and opinions about this one.

unfortunately, wala rin tayong magagawa dun. kaya lang naman may mga lumalabas na ganung designs is well, kasi mabenta ito sa mga tao. kung walang bibili, walang magbebenta nun. and some people find the three shades of red gold and green really nice, kahit hindi sila mashadong nakikinig ng reggae. kaya talagang bibilhin lang ito ng bibilhin ng mga tao.

frustrating but nevertheless, true. sa totoo lang nagiging fad na ang "music fashion" ngayon, di lang sa reggae pero maging sa lahat! sobrang dami na nga ng mga punk items like studded bracelets, belts, caps, shirts at kung ano-ano pang kapritsuhan ng luho! wala namang mali dun kung tutuosin, trip nila yun e, pero di lang siguro natin tanggap sa paningin natin at ng nakararami. ang pinaka-malakas na impluwensya sa kabataan ngayon ay di na radyo kundi telebisyon, may cable pa!

Fashion and music have always gone hand in hand since the beginning, and I guess the way people dress up just reflects how deep into the music they are. But, of course, there will always be your usual bunch of "follow-fashion monkeys" .... the poseurs and fashion victims which the garment industry vultures love to prey on.

this is where we all suck mga pare!we claim to be rational forward thinking people pero nag aaway over things na pwede naman natin i discuss ng maayos.kaya nga may forum e,para madiscuss o ma clear out ung issues.regarding rastafari and reggae malaki pagkakaiba nun,ung una belief system ung pangalawa musical form,they exist regardless of the other.pwede ka nakikinig ng reggae pero di ka rasta,or rasta ka pero di ka nakikinig ng reggae.it just so happened na naging platform ng mga rasta ang reggae pra ihayag ung mga ideals nila.as for us,pinoys na di naman jamaicans or rastas talaga,with respect to those who are of course practising the religion of course,nakaka bastos or denigrating lng ung pag asta ng ilan na maging jamaicans ksi nga pinoy cla,kahit anong gawin mo sa buhok mo o porma o accent mo,puking ina pinoy ka.kung gus2 mo irespeto ka pag aralan mo ung culture,para walang bastusan sa belief or religion. with regards to whos first and who is authentic,cno nga ba?lahat naman tau nakinig lang at nagustuhan ang reggae kasi nga maganda ung beat at musicality,adding to the fact na cool talaga ung culture.other than that,i dont really care kung gaano ka katagal o authentic sa eksena.

Mga chong invite nyo mga friends nyo sa thread na to... hehe
i just want to add and siempre may mag rereact.. but anyways..
ever since nung nakikinig at tumutugtog ako ng reggae and as far nung nag research ako tungkol sa rastafari and reggae music this is the summary..
hindi gaya ng ibang music like blues, jazz, rock, punk etc. feelings or emotion ng musikero ang inpluwensya ng bawat musika. ang reggae na ginawa nila bob marley. peter tosh, burning spear etc.... ay more than pa sa feeling nila.. hindi lang ang sarili nila ang inisip nila. naging boses sila ng isang nation.. at ginamit nila ang reggae music para manghikayat, manalangin, at sabihin sa mundo, eto ang kwento namin. from Jah sila ang mga messengers. at kung ikaw nakiki simpatcha sa kanila at naiintindihan mo kung ano ang mission nila sa tingin ko tinatawag ka ni Jah. nasisiraan na siguro ako ng bait pero yan ang nakikita ko. anybody can be a Rasta kahit hindi ka naka dreads, kahit hindi ka Jamaican. ang importante meron kang faith, at hindi mo iniisip angf sarili mo. gaya nila bob marley they spread the music by heart.

Text: Paraphrased from an essay/letter to the Rock Ed Volunteer by Gang Badoy
You will stand up for something. With everything you've got. Embrace your guitar. Hold it tight. Hold a banner to your chest. Hold it high and sure. Stand in front. And center. Stand straight. Chin up. Make a face. Make a fist. Walk. Run. Dance. Jump. Teach. Sing. Act. Gather yourself. And then gather people. And then scatter both. Every now and then. But you will show up. Because you know. A revolution never happened when people were absent. Your revolution is not on the internet. Your revolution is live. You are the plan. You are the movement. You will show up.
When you do this, you will know that fabricating angst is a waste of time. Because there are real things to feel. And because. Someday, other people's pain will be yours. And, in return, other people will bear your pain. And when you get the balance right. Change will show its face.
You will also relax when you can. Dahil minsan lang ang buhay.
Cheers, my friend.
These are your 'good old days.' The time in your life when you 'still had ideals.' And because you decided on it - this season will never end.

may comment ako dyan sa Doobie nights compilattion... yung ibang mga banda dun and halos lahat pera lang yung peace pipe, coffee break at may ilan pa naman na real reaggae... pero karamihan lalo na yung bandang nag sisimula sa The "C" napanuod ko sila, binaboy lng nila yung reggae, and i will consider them as a reggae band. beat lang nila reggae and most of the time heavy riffs sila.. sana nag alternative na lng sila... binababoy lng nia yung reggae music.. sila yung isang example ng naka dreads lang reggae na ang tingin nila sa sarili nila... binastos lang nila yung music.
the c. hehe. i know them...they're good friends. hindi naman tama yata yung "binaboy" na term. think of it like this...kumakain ba kayo ng adobong may mayonnaise? binaboy mo na ba yung adobo pag nilagyan mo ng mayonnaise? i don't think so. pero may magsasabi na "yak, kadiri ka naman". eh kung sa nasasarapan ako eh. parang spaghetti na may peanut butter.
it's just a matter of choice and taste. for some, it will never be true reggae. for some, it's just plain music that they can enjoy. for some, it's funny. respect nalang.
nice man! i do believe dat even robert nesta marley himself wud be glad to know about this concept :-D

any discussion over concepts and theories always goes to the gutter.wag nyo na lang pag usapan man,gawin nyo na lang.pag aralan bago ibuka ang bibig,sayang ang laway at pagod.at bakit ba big deal lagi ung mga tanong na may kinalaman s rastafaraianism or kay marley?kasi di naman natin cla nakakausap kaya wala taung alam kung anuman ang iniisip nila.with regards to the concept of rastafarianism?kung gus2 mo pag aralan,well you are free to do so,wag mo lang ipamukha sa amin na wala kaming alam o kaya mag preach sa amin.pinoy ka di ka jamaican!di mo ba un nahahalata?inside looking out lagi tau e.

who decides which of those things should be bothered or not? and who measures the proximity of these concepts from my intestines? you? or me? at least let the people exercise the little freedom that they have in this country, which is the freedom to speak their hearts out. this is what an open forum is all about.

lets protect reggae... hindi sya gaya ng rock, heavy metal na pwedeng babuyin... ang reggae at rastafari ay iniintindi hindi lang basta pinakikinggan.

sa totoo lang tol para sakin walang poser. tao lang nagimbento ng salitang poser. may mga taong talagang maalam pero ang marami, yung mga nagmamarunong at nagmamagaling sa mga bagay bagay. kung ano trip mo gawin basta di ka makakaabala ng ibang tao ayos yan pero kung may maaabala ka, ikaw na bahala mamili kung anong dapat mong gawin kasi dyan mo mapapatunayan kung sino ka bang talaga. magkaiba kasi yung trip mong gawin sa dapat mong gawin

sa bagay tama ka dyan... siguro nga yung salitang "poser" parang.. "mis kol" "low bat" na binigyan ng mga pinoy ng ibang kahulugan..

ser.. dba Rubadub Keyboardist ka??? correct me if im wrong.. your group have been into so many gigs and big reggae events. and as far as i know, Rubadub has established its name and fame sa local reggae scene. na panood ko kayo sa Tricia's Bar in Fairview last year, and you've made people nod their heads throughout the set. your compositions hit the stage musically and lyrically.
Kasama ba kayo dun sa "mga reggae bands na kukunin ng mga bar at babayaran ng malaki"

keep that music playing mon, sana mapanood uli namin kayo dito sa fairview area. :wink:

maraming factors kasi ung pagbabayad,minsan it nothing to do with artstry and musicianship. sa pinas,kailanagan magaling at pogi yung banda.plus politics din.so ung mga banda kailanagan may image na po protektahan and op kors kailangan may kapit sa industriya. kung nag reggae si diether,malamang dami gig nun and dami pupuntang chicks! sakay pa rin tayo sa prevailaing musical norms dictated by media corporations and big businesses.muiscians are people and people like everyone else has needs .we follow where the money is and if we have to dance to get it,we probably will. which is [gooey brown stuff] that we dont have to take .unless you like [gooey brown stuff].
opinions ko to,mga brod.thanks! :-D

greetings from Beyond!
Much Respect sa inyo... Ngayon ko lang nabasa itong thread na ito, sa simula palang parang ("parang") The Chongkeys na yung sinasabi dun sa Doobie Nights album with the "C" thing... & yes im part of the said band.. its really nice to read all this, medyo from the 1st to the 2nd or 3rd ata, the 4rth & final page i skip na, kasi medyo i dont have much time...there was a part na di daw sya nag me-mention ng names kc walang tinutukoy na individual, meron naman sinasabi na sabihin mo kung sino at back up-pan mo ng hard facts... (nice one)... i thank Rubadub for saying na hindi naman binababoy, i respect din also the person who said na binababoy (its his opinion), im not saying na kame yung tinutukoy, its just nice that i can say the name The Chongkeys coz wer not hiding anything or doing anything wrong...meron naman sinasabing dig deeper... maybe its all about music & how each individual wants to embrace it, some make a living out of it (for there families) & some do it for just the kicks, there's a thin line in between & a very delicate one too. I would not dwell into defending The Chongkeys coz theres nothing to defend, we take in criticism... its part of where we are now & what industry we have. Dun sa Doobie Nights Album.. all i can say is, 1st know yung hard work na ginugol ng mga taong involve dun, the artist & producers b4 you go & say something bad about it... Xaymaca naman, it was a bar for reggae music & the likes, it was a bar... a business... period. mga tao nalang nag bigay ng meaning kung ano man sya. We give props sa xaymaca for they where der for some people to have fun & inspire others for what they (ung mga nanonood) believe in. Pagiging purist, regarding about "real reggae" or "Rastafarian" tama nga naman na mahirap mag ganito kung mga indio tayo, mahirap maging all rightous right (or know it all, 2 click lang katapat nito kung ganun sa google, hehehe!) about this for this genre "Reggae" ay niyakap lang naten to influence us in our music (depende un sa inyo). Kahit Tropical Depression, Indio I would say na di sila Rastafarian... kung music wise naman kung di katunog ni Robert nesta Marley ay di rin naten masasabi na hindi ito reggae (siguro nga hindi siguro oo) kung si Damian marley nga his mixing it up with RNB & Hip Hop feel, Dancehall naman ito...minsan nga di na reggae ang dating nito kapag una mong marinig, kung si Afroman nga sa "coz i got high" didnt talk about revolution... kame having hard riff in our music with a mix of reggae is just our music, in the beginning we did say we're not a roots reggae band.. Rastamanila palang sa Mayrics, kung si JR Gong respected POD & done music with them i think that is a nice approach of what industry we can have... RESPECTING... as long as walang kamao ang lumalapat sa katawan or muka nyo o paa na umaapak sa inyo, i think respect is all we can give, yet accept the criticism... Debating...? is a hard road to take... what is right & what is wrong... minsan sinasabi ko 1 word lang ang katapat ng debate... "DEPENDE" (though im not saying this is a thread of debating, wag lang sana mapunta dun) ive been in this industry for a long time na din, knowing people who was there 1st & respecting them... maybe they have there [gooey brown stuff] but i think its just being human, as long as ang pakikisama nila sa akin ay ok.. ok po sila sa akin. Much Respect sa inyo lahat, id like to hear from others about what i wrote here while i was baked...you can mention names & back it up if u like, ive mention The CHongkeys, Rubadub, Tropical D, Indio I, for ive known this people for a long time & spend a respectful time with them, i aint got nothing to hide. Jah Bless.
