Party on A Weekday

I had not been out partying on a weekday (mon-thu) in more than a year. I made an exception to this unwritten rule yesterday. I had to…because the great "Israel Vibration" (I-vibe) was performing at BBKing's in New York City.

 

Israel Vibration is one of my favorite reggae bands (along with Burning spear, Culture, Third World, Black Uhuru, Wailers and all the classic roots bands) of all time. "Rudeboy Shufflin", a song from their 1991 album "Why You So Craven" is what introduced me to this exciting band. The music video of this song was a constant feature on a half an hour Caribbean music show BET used to carry in the mid nineties. If you have never heard of this song, I recommend it.

 

The concert started at about 9pm and was over by 11pm. There were several Ethiopians cramped together at the back of the dancing floor where there were tens of people getting down to the beat of the music. I had a couple of drinks and tried to make the best of the music by moving my sexy behind. Although I was disappointed that the band did not play "Rudeboy Shufflin", I had a great time.


Maxi-priest is next (Aug 4)!

10 - Music is an art form that involves organised sounds and silence. It is expressed in terms of pitch (which includes melody and harmony), rhythm (which includes tempo and meter), and the quality of sound (which includes timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture). Music may also involve generative forms in time through the construction of patterns and combinations of natural stimuli, principally sound. Music may be used for artistic or aesthetic, communicative, entertainment, or ceremonial purposes. The definition of what constitutes music varies according to culture and social context, with varied interpretations of the term being accepted under sub-genres of the art.This is what you found if you are looking for a scientific definition of music...in fact, music makes the world go round!
