VARIOUS ARTISTS / “Motown Reggae Samba Mixtape”
Source: Breath of Life (BoL Mixtape – 2009)
This is probably the shortest intro in BoL’s history. It went down like this: I dug deep—I mean deep, deep, deep—down into my stash of sounds and came up with a double handful (and a coupe of tracks gripped between my toes) of Jamaican and Brazilian versions of Motown songs. I know the names of all the artists and I know what releases they are from. Most of the reggae tracks are easily available, usually in a box set. I have provided links for most everything except the Brazilian duo of Edmon e Alexandre Dantas.
Some of the tracks are recent, some are as old as Motown. All of them are happening.
I got nothing else to say.
Except: ENJOY!!!
