Shaka was one of our great modern prophets. He changed my life gradually over my formative years. He instilled many of the lessons he speaks of simply through his music and short time toasting between songs. He taught me music is the closest thing we have to magic and that god is simply the love we carry for ourselves and a stranger. Love and compassion even in the face of anger and oppression is more powerful than any fire.

I met him when he had his shop at the Marc West in New Cross, he encouraged me to drink nerve tonic, when I was going through depression. A man of great humanity & true worth.
Maybe it wasnt a japanese audience, but by speaking slowly he just made himself clear to the whole world that will watch this lecture and get to understand the history and teachings of this man, his ideals and people.
First listened to Shaka around 1983, would listen to him on Saturday night and my ears would still be ringing lunchtime on Sunday. One man operation with the turntable on a big thick piece of sponge above his head with 4 x 18" speakers in each box.Those were the days :)
16 MINS in that's some of the best advice I've ever heard, "If you set high standards, even if you miss you still get somewhere" I try and live by that but i've never heard anybody express it so clearly.
Foundation dread at the control, pioneer in the U.K. Soundsystem movement, died of a heart attack this morning. Legacy lives on Mighty Shaka ✊🏾🔴⚫️🟢🇯🇲🇪🇹
Used to go to Jah Shaka Sound in Acton Town Hall in the late 70's. Shaka, Coxsone and also they used to do Lovers Rock nights in Acton Town Hall. Had some excellent nights with Shaka. RIP
Only 6 minutes or so into the program when Shaka tells about what was written on some doors and gates, I dont mind admitting that as a grown man I started to well up. Powerful stuff. Jah bless you Shaka. Love conquerors everything ❤.
Jah Shaka was a massive inspiration to my life growing up in Southall which use to be heart of sound systems in the 90’s. Shaka took me to a place of mediation so deep which use to let me connect to the vocal and dub. So thank you Jah Shaka for the musical inspiration that you had to my life l. Good times and bad but you still the man and No:1 sound-system in the world! The true Dread at the controls!! What I love is we sometimes come to a Shaka dance after years but we still feel the love. Bless 🙏🏽👌👊🏽
The great Jah Shaka, it's a joyous thing to see him sharing his wisdom with so many people in this way. Great stories that explain so clearly what his message is about. The question from the audience at 1.40.56 was a wonderful question and so beautifully answered by Jah Shaka, a truly inspirational person for all ages and all people. Give thanks.
@1hr 30mins, I'll never forget that session with Messenger at the Bongo Club in Edinburgh! Nor so many other mystical journeys with the mighty Jah Shaka Sound which never failed to punch through to that higher level. Giving thanks and blessings 🙏🏼 1Love
deep meditation and wisdom Jah Rastafari... Jah Shaka the great teacher of Jah rest in eternal peace in Zion garden. Shaka system vibrate my soul in London and in Stoke and was a spiritual awakening. live on in spirit and DUB BASS SOUND SYSTEM.
I first herd JAH SHAKA in the 70’s at PHEBEES a night club in Stoke Newington north London . He was the entertaining sound system.The resident sound. Fatman followed and took over as resident sound.Both of them were great. Will always be in my heart.
For me it was settlement Peckham. Remember getting your Giro! Going daddy kools, Dean street ,anything shaka played you would buy.when daddy kool new you,he would play for you,you put your hand up and it's added to your pile.
I’ve been a reggae anorak connoisseur enthusiast for over 40 years and all I can say in the UK no one did it like he did it beautiful so much love respect to the mighty Freddie cloudburst a.k.a.jah Shaka ❤
One of my favorite parts of this interview is when the host tries to steer the conversation and Jah Shaka says ‘We’ll get to that, I need to speak at length.’ As he’s going into the history of his experiences. Truly a profound individual whose story deserves to be heard in fullness.
This interview shows that jah shaka is a very intelligent sound system sound man because to be a good sound man you got to invent your own music and shaka was a man that made his own music and it is my view that is why he stood out more than all the other sound systems a great man long live jah shaka
Know him when I was in my teens. He used to play at shubeen on my road 5 doors away. We didn't have to go coz we cld hear it in our house! He used to play at Mile End every Sunday, it was a must every Sunday to get there. Loved it. Bwoi
Rest in power, Shaka. Respect to him also at 1hr30 for going out his way to mention Messenger Soundsystem outta Edinburgh. Really solid and under-rated sound system from 88'. I highly recommend going to their monthly dance in Edinburgh or booking them for your city. You won't regret it.
@@the_funkykingston I’m not too sure. It could be. I know he played there again on Messenger in 2019. Wicked session. Every Messenger session at the Bongo is fire.
With playing reggae riddim is a way to reflect their own loyal followers Rastafarian, Jamaican music sound system Jah love to spread worldwide, Jah bless, One love.
One of best moments of my musical journey was a Jah Shaka tent! Just this guy with his massive sound system, a turntable and a mic. He played the record - one after the other (gaps of silence in-between tunes). It was around the time DMC scratch DJ'ing and House / DnB blending was so political, this man just chilled, played the best Dub records and danced! It simply blew my mind! as a White English person growing up in the frantic Rave era, this was so amazing to me! It's mad cuz I was really in tune to Jah Shaka's music a week or so ago with no knowledge of him passing (literally just found out) Rest in Peace Mr Shaka ♥✌✊🏾
JAH Shaka you mentioned a very important point. We need back the house parties back in the centres. Truth we don't even know each other no more.. Now pandemic keep us in hiding and women can't be seen. We need to bring some vibes back.
'No Black, No Irish, No Dogs' - a sign I remember well, from 1995/6 when living near the West Ham football club in the East of London. Pubs used to have that sign...me and my mates were not welcome in those joints, avoided them like the plague. Bad voodoo back then.
Grew up on Bobs music, age 8 onwards, age 14 went first to Shaka in Rocket Holloway rd, then followed him all around London, for 12-14 years straight!!! All venues, got a very big record selection, met many a producer and artists, worked with many, ....thanks to Shaka. Bless up. One love. "
@@sumeettatla9830 Thanks for the answer. Yes, I gathered that. I suppose that's it then. The end. They got their revenge on the Indian Workers Association in the end, didn't they. First the placement of the old people's home, then turning off the power supply during sound system nights, then building those flats, then selling the building. Now, it's all as if it never happened.
@@GTMarmot yes brother such a shame, many great nights at southall community. Hopefully we get some roots nights at tudor rose as its been re-opened but i dont think they liked the rootsman crowd at tudor rose
When asked about the historical dub clashes between himself and the immortal sir coxsone outernational him get cold feet I would of liked him to say him mash up coxsone all the time but it just goes to show dances between then was pretty much even Stevens
I love that the whole Dread Dub Rasta they had going on in Brixton has not melted away but gotten more organised into An Underground System to preserve the sound. Ha those Corporate Media Music Monkeys have taken over Jamaica,and The West You are as better off Preserving It From Them in UK must be plenty of places here and there and remember France and Germany love this music exclusively too.
You can't run away You can't hide No, no, no, no Don't run to the rock Don't run to the sea No escape You cannot run Down inna Babylon Yeah, you gotta be strong You got to know yourself Before it gets to late
@35:30 I’m not questioning the accuracy but I’d say I didn’t know that particular “sound” existed then in ‘71; that militant driving bass stepper sound. I know UK reggae always had a diff sound but I thought the music from both countries were more “roots” at that time and that sound came later.
The track being played in that clip is from the mid-1980s and is not the original audio of that dance. They were dancing to something else, in that clip.
@@GTMarmot see then that’s a misstep that should be fixed cuz if I didn’t know the history of the music, I’d think that sound was from since back then. Give Thanks
@@jahmusicmansionwhererealre3920 Unfortunately, a lot of meaning was lost between generations and time, in this interview. Shaka has a poor memory of the passage of time, and years. I have noticed this in various articles where he's been interviewed before. Also, he wanted to show the subversive side of what he was doing, to his audience here, but he failed because humour has changed. For example, the stuff about bass healing the digestive system, etc. This humour is from the time when there was a mainstream culture and a counterculture. Now, as there's no mainstream or counter, just a monoculture, there is no frame of reference for younger people to understand what he was trying to say. It wasn't a good interview.

I remember Jah Shaka in the 70s he was not popular outside of the black community back then as he was today. As for the dub thing Jah Shaka was a master at that part of Jamaican music in the UK but the real credit for playing dub music was a Jamaican man called Osbourne Rudduck A.k.A. king tubby in the 70s Sound systems in the UK were falling over themselves to have king tubby dubplates from Jamaica, especially at sound clashes back then.

Tell every person this it would of been history in the making to see the 3 of the sound men lloydie coxsone fatman jah shaka talking together about there experiences playing against eachother and just being really honest about whp came out on top cause i felt that these soundmen did not really talk toeachother during and after the dances

Augustus Pablo never attended Alpha Boys School,
which was meant as a "school for wayward boys”.
Seldom in Jamaican music history, Augustus Pablo came from a better off family.
He attended Kingston College School.
Correct.
Many of those "wayward boys" from Alpha became foundation pillars of Reggae music, like Family Man Barret.
