Description:
The answer to the question of what the very first reggae song was
cannot be answered unequivocally, but according to legendary
producer Bunny 'Striker' Lee, the answer to this question is the
song 'Bangarang' which was sung by Stranger Cole back in 1968.
Almost 60 years later, Jamaican legend Stranger Cole (Born: Wilburn
Theodore Cole) is still active and still touring the world as one
of the oldest reggae singers.
A few years back, the singer was in the tour bus on his way to a
headlining performance at a festival in Europe. When asked which
music was playing in the bus and what the singer's name was, the
answer was "Kings And Queens by Patsy". The singer had to laugh at
the answer, because in the early 1960s he had recorded a series of
singles with a singer called Milliecent 'Patsy' Todd. But impressed
by her voice, Stranger said he wanted to go into the studio with
her. The result of this collaboration appears on the 83rd birthday
of this pioneering Jamaican singer.
Like the 'Kings And Queens' album (Aggrobeat Records, 2023), the
brand new 'Royal' album is produced by Dutch producer Boss Capone
of The Upsessions. The new LP features 11 new songs that take you
back to the first wave of ska music in 1960s Jamaica.
