Take Her To Jamaica ( Lord Messam & His Calypsonians, 1953)
Caribbean Rocksteady Lord Messam & His Calypsonians versionWith this revamped version of Augustus “Lord” Messam’s traditional Jamaican Mento, The Invisibles open their YouTube Channel officially, with a project named after this song itself. Indeed, with should say “after this song HERSELF”. Songs are female, and like the lady in the text of this song performed originally by Lord Messam & His Calypsonians, The Invisibles take them to Jamaica, turning pop hits of the moment, pop classics of the last decades, all time classics and evergreens into offbeat little treasures, continuing the job that in the early 60s the original Ska artists in Jamaica started doing, inspiring hundreds of artists through time. So let’s take these ladies to Jamaica, this is just the beginning! Enjoy…
