Horizons! Smile, Joke, Laugh, Dance or all the above.

Let the spirit rise. Can not wait to get back to the Islands. So am keeping the vibes warm on Groovasmique with African Rhythms, Reggae, World Music and Global Grooves. Thanks to Radiojar I can work across platforms....cell, tablet, computer. Loving Majek Fashek In a New York....a blast from the past who I enjoyed in the 90's while working at HMV in NY! Now I am pondering life, seeking work, finding peace and more. Music is a great way to keep alive. The archives I have are always good to revisit. Apparently, I was more of a Peter Tosh fan than I thought. Of course I have my all-time faves. Santana, Manu Dibango, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dollar Brand, Dudu Pukwana, Orchestra Baobab. The list seems endless, but it is always good to delve and find gems. Decades of tunes and so many styles. I will continue the treck and hope y'all enjoy the tunage. Listeners from all over is always good to see. Any requests Groovasmique@gmail.com. Make it a great day in some way if you can. Smile, Joke, Laugh, Dance or all the above. Always praise the most high! May your god go with you and your spirit shine. Never give in! Of course if you hear of work for this little olde Dj get in touch. You never know!

African Classics from the Archives!

Old Synths, Arrangements that make me smile, interesting lyrics.
William Onyeabor (26 March 1946 – 16 January 2017) was a Nigerian funk musician and businessman. His music was widely heard in Nigeria in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but he remained an enigmatic figure, private and reclusive. Just one of the many artists I am starting to feature in my delvings into old music from 1960's to date. Strange bedfellows for sure  in some cases. Throw in some Afrobeat, Dub, Zydeco, Blues and then some Global spice. Maybe a singer songwriter here and there! Who knows! FYI Todays "Dumped Artist=Bongo Maffin!"

New Picture in my den! Bob now watching over me.

Thanks to Mr Nobody Bob always smiling! https://www.mrnobodyart.com/

THIS FEMININE DIVINE WHICH I ASPIRE TO

THE LESSONS LEARNT HAVE BROUGHT ME TO A PLACE OF PEACE

FOR WHAT I CANNOT CHANGE I KNOW I MUST RELEASE"

​Bob Marley Quote

"What important is man should live in righteousness, 
in natural love for mankind". 

​Bob Marley

"Get to this! Get to that!"

In the words of Sly and Robbie "Get to this, get to that!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP2ssi7FQBU  The Groovasmique playlist is a lot like what you might hear if you were riding in my car. Afrocentric mostly, Global at times, Funky once in a while and downright rocking occasionally. Throw in a little Jazz fusion and some Folky bits and you are set to cruise. My tastes are diverse and eclectic and you will hear Blues, Zydeco, Reggae, Ska and more as the list grows and morphs with "Oldies" and more recent selections. The next set of tune updates will also take a few tracks weekly from the EthnoCloud charts which feature all genres. For now expect a mix of classic tracks and various styles which you would not probably hear on commercial radio. A little college radio, a little PBS but these are the tastes of an avid music lover and drummer. Tracks may be decades old or brand new by years end. Welcome back my friends to the morph that never ends.....especially in my music soaked brain. Drop me a note at groovasmique@gmail.com. This Dj (Currently unemployed) will keep groovin til I drop.

Pawsitive Vibrations! "Get to this, Get to that!"
