Hello Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners!

We missed you all last week, but technical issues prevented us from bringing you your Bovine Ska. This week we have returned with a special and long overdue tribute to the late great Marvin Gaye. Over the course of his illustrious career which was tragically cut short, Marvin thrilled audiences with his voice, style, and message and Jamaica took notice . This week, we present to you our favorite ska, soul, rocksteady, and reggae covers from artist such as Delroy Wilson, Ken Boothe, Johnny Clarke of the songs that Marvin made famous. We love Marvin and if you do as well, this is the Bovine Ska for you so PLEASE SHARE THIS SHOW with all whom you know who love Marvin and the sounds of a young Jamaica. XO Generoso and Lily

Hello Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners!

We are huge fans of Stranger Cole, a magnificent songwriter. singer, producer and friend to the Bovine Ska. A year or so ago, we spotlighted his W&C Label, but that was not enough, so this week we rounded up our singles to focus in on Wilburn Theodore Cole’s wonderful STRANGER SOUL COLE LABEL. This Cole label features great reggae cuts from The Mighty Diamonds. Basil Daley, Alvin Parkins, and of course Stranger and Gladdy. Also, in honor of the Soul Cole label, we have pulled a wonderful long set of Jamaican soul cuts from the late 1960s to end the show.

Hello Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners!

We started off this week’s Bovine Ska with two of thrilling ska, which was then followed by our weekly mento set and a long set of reggae before we went into our spotlight of Keith Hudson’s Rebind Label. In the late 60’s/early 1970s, few producers were as on as the late Keith Hudson. The crafty production ideas that Hudson pulled out of his sleeves, coupled with the rhythms that were created in his studio by Soul Syndicate made for some immortal tracks. A couple of years ago we did a spotlight of Hudson’s Imbidimts label, and this week on the Bovine Ska we focused on Hudson’s equally impressive REBIND LABEL which featured amazing cuts from 1969-1974 from Dennis Alcapone, Delroy Wilson, U-Roy, all backed up by Soul Syndicate!
