Jah Shaka the ultimate sound system legend, is innovation, originality & creativity stood him out as one, who as remained true to his roots, which is honourable & splendid. I have had the great privilege to see & hear him at this great venue in the 80's Shaka may Jah bless , guide & itect you The great Zulu warrior
What a tune one brings a tear to my eyes again played by the master of music only he can play like this because he has the true nature of roots and believes in his religion so he’s got a space saved for him by god trust me
From what I have listend to shaka was in a style of his own within matter of him starting playing he came like lighting and thunder beating up all the sounds including ranking set sir coxsone but there was other sounds like fatman suffrer who use to beat him up wicked but take nothing away from shaka if coxsone was the king of sounds in England then shaka was the high priest of sounds respect goes out to all the sound man dem feztus the best selector evet
Respect Shaka ...as a youngster just getting into reggae music, my friends were telling me to go to a sound system Dance and listen ...Dem Dayz Quaker City, Coxsone, Fatman, Tubby etc. were mashing it up, but first time listening to Shaka!! was like This dude is on another level to the others, One deck, selected, operated & DJ the ultimate one man Band.. so different but so Amazing the sound effects he was the original Don Gorgon ...Tops & Bass all he played ..which is the origins for what we call now Drum & Bass Shaka only Played 3 types of Music , when all the other sound Systems moved on to Rub'A'Dub, Dancehall & Bashment ..Jah Shaka still today plays the same way as back in the 70's....Rocker's , Jumpers & Steppers Bless
Tony Stewart give thanks for the great king shaka been going to shaka dances from 70s like you I was told to check him out after following fat man it was like going to church Friday nights at phebs me and a Joe (abahsanti) right up front still to this day taking in the great man. Jah blessings to all followers. Lion heart
@@monomixerShaka used to come to Reading and play some with some big sounds back in the late 70'S and 80's Quaker City, Jah Tubys, Fatman etc. then came the introduction of RuB A Dub, that was a big swing as it was more inclusive of the ladies who didnt want to hear the Dub & roots music... and most of the Big london sounds followered that path..but Shaka was a lone warrior ! kept he's foundation and kept playing roots & culture Music and the following to a point dropped! ...until Dub & Bass was introduced which was Guys who loved the Dubs the sirens & sound effects that sounded & looked so random as you saw Shaka go into the dub box pick out a tune play the tune Dj on the tune touch up the Tops to start for a while and then bust the basline when the tune hit the point were peeps were begging for the Flat Raw Bassline... then he would just lock off the tops & Drill the B-Line ...he was a Master Mixer..Drum & Bass was the progression of jAH sHAKA's Music! Which brought on a Cult following in the 90's till the present Day.. as we was followered Globally. tours in Europe, Japan & Asia, South America's & Africa..the man became a Legend as the most global sound system from the Uk Now the terms Jumpers as we used to call it was when shaka set up he would warm up with some Rockers, just to warm up the crowd then push in some Steppers when the crowd were nicey entertainered and then Mix & blend with rockers & steppers ...then he would unleash a few Jumpers Ie ...Steppers on Turbo! we he saw the crowd wanted to just let off ... which might be the Vibe from the tune 'feel like jumping by marcia griffiths.. and when he played he's last tune for the night it would be a Jumpers ... Noel Zebulon-Crucial Dub, prince malachi unrealsed cut, dUB pLATE AS A EXAMPLE .. you just wanna Jump and step! RIEP ...The Lion AKA Jah Shaka
@@tonystewart6592 interesting hearing your memories ,and I take your points about Shaka having a (sometimes big) influence in other musical sub-genres. As an aside I used to really enjoy those occasions when Shaka dropped a tune such as 'Feel like jumping'! So many tracks from so many artists were introduced directly to me by Shaka and the majority, but not all, shared certain characteristics that marked them out, if you like, as something noteworthy. But also, you nearly always understood why that music had caught Shaka's attention. In a way, his personal endorsement transcends the labels we otherwise use for a tune, like say "This is a steppers riddim' -- because adding 'as played by Jah Shaka' would confer a further kind of official Approved status. For decades I was collecting music every minute of my non-working days as well, but often, hearing a certain music at Shaka was the way I discovered it. Parking myself for hours on the front desk at Dub Vendor & Daddy Kool was always fruitful, but I went to Shaka dances to find out what I needed to find out about. (again as an aside, the main reason I recorded many dozens of live sessions was so I had time, later, to identify & then find those musics) . Put in simple terms, for someone like me, Shaka playing something made it immortal, and (for me, anyway) that status does not wear off, ever. Hope my comment / reply of sorts, taken in the positive spirit it is offered. Rest in Peace Jah Shaka
JUST CAUGHT AGAIN Master Jah Shaka at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, 2016, where he always takes the massive into Interstellar Overdrive...this man defines 'ROOTS STEPPERS', chapter and verse.
The Dub plate played at 1.15.00 Killed it..then when he mixed it the sirens & effects & reverb & tops lock off & leave the B-line Driving!...which elvolved into what we call now 'Drum & Bass'.... Shaka was The orginal 'OG'
This was Shaka at his best ,see things have changed ,but my heart stayed with this man ,he gave me a purpose and direction in my life until then I was lost but sadly I feel lost again ,people go astray,,,I was a very strong person ,but now I’m not and I’m left with just sadness,jah love peace and understanding,
This is what he had to do with his heart and soul do be were he is today ,and because you get wiser and older ,he deserve s we’re he is today but if you look carefully this is jah Shaka at his best playing hard not commercial,,he still ain’t commercial,he’s the original sound system,like I said before I been with him since high school going sessions on the underground myself now I’m 47 ,and I seen people come and go ,,but him he’s still running that same system,,he’s amazing ,it’s magic ,,jah love
When you hear / watch Shaka playing like this, you can understand why and how aba shanti has followed him and copied him to a tee…. This is the blueprint, real talk…. 🙏🏽

Where is Arklow Road? I went to a Shaka vs Kilimanjaro Dance at a Black Women's Centre in the Tottenham area in 86, took a couple of mates who'd never been to a proper Soundsystem business night and they were in bits at first cos of the physicality of the Bass 😆An they were initially paranoid as we were the only white people in there, anyway great Shaka as ever, respect for the upload
The Wailing Souls - Jah Jah Give Us Life To Live Also check out songs like "Very Well", "Musical Shark Attack" and " They Don't Know Jah", three of many top songs of The Wailing Souls. Jah live!

Classic Shaka when he was at his Peak and no sound could test him. Excellent footage.
So fresh and modern, still, yet soooooooo ancient. Primal.
I thank my lucky stars for giving me Jah Shaka.
