Shanti Southend on sea… roots hall shrimpers.. Brixton rec.. met blood shanti.. I was a council bald head skankin in the dance! Only ever found love and guidance! Thank you! And also bless SHACKA
Thank you Star! So grateful to have found your site through Dub music, but more important is the connection of the black experience, and the history of music we brought to the so called new world. We shined the light on humanity, and showed how to love .
There are always going to be the odious and envious people turning around. Aba Shanti shows us that the art of a good dj is based on the selection made with the heart and the manipulation of music with analog systems and a good surreal echo / delay. Jah Shaka said "you have to learn from the analog to understand the digital". Learn at once that the authentic set of a soundsystem is the most real in what the disc-jockey culture entails. BLESS
As someone who used to use two Technics and relied on a decent mixer/crossfader to mix, cut and scratch with, I was always in awe and full admiration for these dons that can keep it flowing with a single deck, a decent EQ and an FX box.
Followed Aba and his Brother Blood Shanti and Humble Lion since 1998 .. never heard him speak .. now i have .. he is eloquant, articulate, and warm.. See you in Bristol Jan 2019
This man is ROCKING OUT !!! 4 real , NO EXAGGERATION. This man is how a d.j SHOULD BE, SEEN??! Thick, thick bass, spinning vinyl. Ooh wee. Lawd haf muurcee. Ras, Tafari !🦁 🔊🎶
thats what was making me lol, i wouldnt take time to tag each tune i know here. but first half hour is 100% mega classics. got most o dem in original pressings
NO disraspec but the foundation of Rastafari inity is Black love and unity first, then towards others, then animal life and the earth. It seems many who call themselves Rastafari (specially the non-African) don't know that?
I remember being a skinny white kid on spinny hill park adventure playground in the early 80's. Let me tell you about colour and how kids saw it. If your mum was black, she had tasty food. If your mum was white, her kid would be round the black kids house enjoying his supper. We never knew what racism was until we grew old and watched the news.
Some musicians want to use their music to spread their own message through preaching (and I use that word purposefully, live performances are no different from sermons and I treat them as such). I view music more like this: "the music will show you the message itself during the experience." When I perform music, I never talk about anything. I let the music take the audience away and do it all for me/my band. The best shows I've ever been to don't start/stop with/for preaching. They keep going, and the trance that we inevitably fall into is the psychedelic journey that teaches us so much. I've been to many reggae shows. I learn most about peace during the performance. When they talk about peace and love, I can't help but think "stfu because the music just told me that without you wasting your set time and we're just a bunch of stoned people in a field/bar. We are the least likely to enact social justice." Stop putting your human philosophies in the ethereal magic and holiness that is music. It will speak for itself, and your words will be wrong. I'm curious to know how people feel about this and if they're willing to discuss?
@@zhajjar4793 , you're right, this is his own show and his own sound system, he can do whatever he wants. And he did his speech before the show, to which I also give him more respect for doing. I guess I just wanted to write my thoughts about other shows I've been to (especially reggae shows with live bands) and see how other people view it and hopefully get a good comment section discussion
That's what an Aba Shanti session is all about and probably why they're always full to the rafters. Hes old school and is about maintaining that and informing those who don't know. Most of us ain't there just to get wrecked, so It's not just about the buff buff buff buff. And if you don't like it, remember his name
The Sunshine Group I think the introduction he did was really important to contextualize politically his performance (we mustn't forget the relationships between reggae music and black Afro-Caribbean diaspora experience!). A political act always passes through a speech act to be more effective. I agree with you when you say: “the music will show you the message itself during experience”, but it’s an ephemeral experience and the message could be not-so-clear/vague. A speech act clarifies the message, keeping it in the listeners’ heads for a long time after the show. It politizes and make people consciousness.
Who ever helped organise this on behalf of Boiler Room literally just took Viveks System:Sounds template, even the logo on the bottom right of the video. Knobheads.
Love and blessings to Aba Shanti for the set! I was truly moved in my heart, mind, soul & body! Please tell the name of the tune at 2:00:00 with the mellow sax.✌
Agreed! Gwan Aba! Playing REAL roots in its original, purest & truest representation of I &I. Glad I don't hear no water down weakheart tunes of today.
Aba...Full respect. I love the historic intro. I can so relate...respect to our parents who led the way...uplifting tracks,...nostalgic, love it. Feel good music...

The speech at the beginning is very fitting at this time...
True true....too many sounds come from nowhere. Important oral history here.
Infinite wisdom
Thank you Star! So grateful to have found your site through Dub music, but more important is the connection of the black experience, and the history of music we brought to the so called new world. We shined the light on humanity, and showed how to love .
Aba Shanti is the best selector of this times, he have the vibe like jah shaka and sing and toast is unique
Respect to Aba Shanti-I, i think he do the best for the dub scene.. teach about foundation and love inna this massmedia channels!! forward ever!

THE HISTORY TOUCH MY HEART ,,THE HISTORY

Leave the man to do what he wants, its his set time. Everyone has their own way of expression.

Dialogue and discussions are always important. Maybe you need to throw a question or two in there to start one
Salam/Peace
