Happy Holidays Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners!
Thanks to your listens last week as our, “Jamaica Sings The Bee Gees” was one of our most popular shows of the year. This week, we start off with two sets of rare ska that offer praise (It is the holiday season after all) including amazing cuts from Toots and The Maytals and Prince Buster. After a laid back mento set and a long set of reggae versions from 73-75, we did our spotlight on Tommy Cowan’s TALENT LABEL. The label features some hard to find cuts from The Cimarons, Keith Thompson, Zap Pow and many more!

Happy Holidays Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners!
As you, the loyal listeners of the Bovine Ska these last 22 years know very well, we love The Bee Gees. This week’s show has been years in the making as we have selected our favorite rocksteady and reggae cuts from 1967-1982 of songs written by The Bee Gees and performed by The Bee Gees and Andy Gibb. We started by playing a superb cover by Alton Ellis of the Bee Gees first international hit “, Massachusetts,” and then moved on to cuts like Freddie McGregor’s version of “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” and followed that with great reggae and dub interpretations of the brother’s disco classics that you all know so well. Please add this show to your playlist, favorite it, or share it wherever people love The Bee Gees and the sounds of a young Jamaica. happy Holidays! XOXO Generoso and Lily​

Happy Holidays Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners!
For the 22nd straight year we are celebrating the holiday season on the Bovine Ska and Rocksteady with beloved cuts of Jamaican rocksteady, reggae, mento of a Christmas kind. For our theme, given that Jamaica was an English colony at one time, some Jamaican Christmas customs are influenced by England’s traditions of the same holiday. However, these Jamaican traditions have become truly their own and we discussed them on this year’s Bovine Ska as well as playing classic and rare holiday cuts from Alton Ellis, Laurel Aitken, John Holt, and The Heptones to name a few. Please add this show to your playlist, favorite it, or share it wherever people love the holidays and the sounds of a young Jamaica. Merry Christmas! XOXO Generoso and Lily
