TOASTING
Many people think modern chanting over rhythms
originated with Hip Hop and Rap. Not so. It started in
Jamaica, where U Roy started to voice over the
instrumental versions of his Sound System ("Mobile
Dance Hall"). This was called "Toasting"
and it became a strong style within all genres of Reggae
until the day of today!
In this portal, we apply the word
"toasting" mainly of DJ Track released prior
to the early 1980's, that is in the days of Rub a Dub as
well as Traditional Roots Rockers.
Put
on this album and hear some Rub a Dub
toasting or MC-ing at it's best. The mixing
is kind of versatile. Some tunes sound like
an instrumental version, but most contain
some nice startegically placed FX.
Rub
a Dub toasting as it should be. And where
there are many albums with Roots Rockers
toasting, this style is most definitely
underrated as this album will show.
The
music on this album all come from the
1970's, and radiate the vibrant
atmosphere of Jamaica during that time.
another classic released by Blod and Fire.
