Podcasts about Roland Alphonso

Tibem del fil de temes contemporanis i ens trobem amb tradicions musicals de llarg recorregut. Henry Riley

Hoy dedicamos nuestro Libra X Libra a uno de los mejores boxeadores que haya pisado los cuadriláteros de España en lo que llevamos de siglo. Uno que representa, además, la lucha contra las adversidades, el querer llegar a lo más alto, pese a saber que el camino era cuesta arriba y lleno de obstáculos. Hablamos de Petia Petrov, dos veces aspirante al campeonato del mundo y uno de los boxeadores más completos y profesionales que ha tenido nuestro país. Respetado y admirado por todos los compañeros de profesión, la vida y la carrera de Petrov no han sido fáciles. De las colas de dos horas en el frío en la Unión Soviética, para conseguir una barra de pan, a su primer hogar en Madrid, una habitación sin ventanas que compartía con su madre en una pensión de Antón Martín. Se afincó en Vallecas, obtuvo la nacionalidad española y tuvo que emigrar más tarde, con una mano delante y otra atrás, a Estados Unidos para su última apuesta a su carrera como boxeador. Nos va a contar sus inicios, los bloqueos que sufrió el boxeo en su época; nos va a hablar de sus triunfos en Estados Unidos y sus intentos de proclamarse campeón mundial. Del día en que pensó que se moría en Argentina, tras enfrentarse al Chino Maidana, a una encerrona en Montenegro o lo que significa disputar un mundial en Inglaterra. Muchas cosas y todas muy interesantes de un auténtico profesional del boxeo. Corte 1: “Red Army Blues”, The Waterboys Corte 2: Roland Alphonso and the Soul Brothers “From Russia with love” Corte 3: Metallica “For whom the bell tolls” Corte 4: Motorama “Heavy wave” Corte 5: The Czars “Paint the Moon” Corte 6: Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Californication"

La agrupación venezolana Las Cuatro Monedas, alcanzó gran éxito en 1970 con la canción “Buena suerte”. Así la escuché yo… “Buena suerte” de Las Cuatro Monedas es en realidad una versión al español adaptada por el venezolano Hugo Blanco de la canción que compusiera el artista jamaiquino Desmond Dekker, la cual grabó en 1967 junto al grupo The Aces, tema que tituló “007 Shanty Town” (que se podría traducir como “007 Barrio marginal”), el cual se coló en los listados de la música británica con un gran e inesperado éxito. Como dato curioso, hay que decir que Las Cuatro Monedas estaba conformado por los hermanos O´Brien (Marlene, Kenny, Brenda y Gary); el cual era promocionado por el famoso músico venezolano Hugo Blanco, quien además se encargaba de los arreglos y de la producción del grupo. ¿Y tú, conocías el origen de esta canción? Autor: Desmond Dekker Dacres (jamaiquino) - Versión al español Hugo Blanco (venezolano) Buena suerte - Las Cuatro Monedas (1970) single “Buena suerte/La balsa” (1970) “Las 4 Monedas Vol.2” álbum (1970) 007 (Shanty Town) - Desmond Dekker and The Aces (1967) single “007 (Shanty Town)/El toro (Roland Alphonso)” (1967) “007 Shanty Town” álbum (1967) Desmond Dekker (nombre real Desmond Adolphus Dacres, jamaiquino) ___________________ “Así la escuché yo…” Temporada: 6 Episodio: 41 Sergio Productions Cali – Colombia Sergio Luis López Mora

In this episode, I look back at the International Ska Festival held at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA on Earth Day in April of 1990. The all day festival with a sold-out crowd estimated at 10,000, is a key event in the development of a uniquely American version of ska. First, the line-up included a number of leading American ska bands featured in my book including The Uptones, Gangster Fun and Let's Go Bowling – who were then at the forefront of the late 80s American ska scene.  Next, the size of the crowd and its passionate response also opened the eyes and ears of original 2-Tone musicians there that day to the fact that young Americans were passionate about ska music and that the U.S. was now a viable market for touring.  During one 12 hour festival, a sea change in the American ska scene occurs. Older bands have reached the end of their road but newer ones are there to take the torch.  And legends like Roland Alphonso of The Skatalites and Ranking Roger who are there that day are  so inspired by the experience and crowd response, that Alphonso reboots The Skatalites and  Ranking Roger forms Special Beat. And so, I think its fair to say that on April 21, 1990, ska finally arrived in America.

On this episode of the Ska Boom podcast, I tell the untold story of how a band of reggae obsessed kids from New Jersey  --The Terrorists -- backed a Jamaican ex-pat saxophonist who had helped found The Skatalites  -- Roland Alphonso. Together they helped create a short-lived but important ska and reggae scene at Max's Kansas City, which for a time was the punk rock club rival to CBGBs located less than a mile away.While Max's Kansas City was known as one of the birth places of American punk, its musical director Peter Crowley also had a passion for ska and reggae and began booking Sunday night reggae parties at the club beginning in 1976. His efforts helped to create a small scene and led him to discover The Terrorists, who along with The Shakers from Berkeley, CA and the Blue Riddim Band from Kansas City, MO are among the earliest American reggae bands.When members of the band discovered Roland Alphonso living in Brooklyn and convinced him to play with them, Crowley booked them as a double bill at Max's and based on the positive reception they received quickly took them into the studio to record albums he planned to release on the Max's Kansas City record label.  Sadly it was not be. Those recording were finally released last year as "Max's SKAnsas City" on the Jungle Records label in the UK and I was honored to be asked to write the liner notes for the album.The Terrorists and Crowley don't get the credit they deserve for their contribution to a uniquely American version of ska and reggae. Hopefully this audio documentary will help more people to hear their story. 

The fathoms you plunder the more you get, the more you realise. The harder they drop, the deeper they fall on the wheels of steel… the more you go back to olde ways, to the fathomless mystifying sound of the Brentford Road Posse the greater the epiphany. Coxsone was a Wizard of Time and Space. Foundations isn’t even the works, foundation stone, head corner stone, is just the first building block, but the house of Reggae is built upon and within the Earth and the soil, and the beating heart and lungs of that earth . . .

Let's take a trip in time to 1960s Jamaica to chart ska's path over to the UK in the 1980s and eventually to the USA. Our multi-episode trip will take us through the evolution of ska, from its Jamaican roots, to the Second Wave with UK bands on the 2 Tone label, and finally to crowded clubs on both America's East and West coasts.This episode will introduce you to the foundational artists of early ska and preview the explosion in its popularity when British artists begin to mine from Jamaican ska's rich reserve.Fans of the Skatalites, Desmond Dekker and the Aces, and Prince Buster won't want to miss this one.

With all of the craziness surrounding the global COVID-19 pandemic, I've found myself listening to a lot more ska. It's hard to put my finger on why, but I'd liken it to my favorite type of comfort food: not only is it good for the soul but it provides a bit of certainty in these uncertain times. To that end, I picked out a few upbeat tunes that I'm hoping will help provide at least a small distraction. Stay safe out there, and keep washing your hands! 00:00 - the KING LION - Skatman (Blank '19) 03:06 - the Kubricks - Criminals (Criminals '20) 05:51 - Roland Alphonso w/ the Skatalites feat.

Building on Jim's picks, I added the new single from the Kubricks and the closing track from the Operators. I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and his WCSS co-star at the Jump Up Records 25th Anniversary show a few years back, and I couldn’t be happier then, and I couldn’t be happier now that they’re still in the game creating their show!

This episode is our annual Pledge-O-Rama episode asking for support for the small University radio station that makes On Target (and so much other valuable content) possible. If you're new to On Target then this episode is a great way to get a taste of what Mod Marty does here: 7", analogue vinyl is spun at 45rpms for about an hour a week. The idea is to explore all the musical types from the mid 1950s through to the early 1970s that shaped Rock and Soul for the years that followed.

O programa Skataplá acaba de completar 9 anos desde o seu surgimento na rádio Brasil 2000 FM (e 1 ano como podcast). E os convidados nessa data tão especial são os curitibanos do Abraskadabra, um dos principais nomes do skacore brasileiro, e a atração principal da festa que celebrou os 9 anos do Skataplá. Antes da banda cair na estrada pra uma turnê na Inglaterra e Japão, a gente bateu um papo com o Du (guitarra/vocal) e o Maka (bateria), integrantes da formação original do Abraskadabra. Ainda no Skataplá #14: um som perdido do Roland Alphonso do Skatalites, música nova do Planet Smashers, as atrações do Riot Fest em Chicago e a passagem da dupla jamaicana Keith & Tex por São Paulo. Você também pode ouvir o programa nos principais apps de podcast.

Host Freddie Campbell was there at the start of ska music. he played in bands with guys like Lester Sterling, Roland Alphonso and many singers like Owen Grey, Derrick Harriott, Winston Francis and many many more. His program today will touch on what's happening now as well.  Jay Sharpe as usual will be on to give tips on how to handle grief and gratitude. Also Fred will host Seretse Small who owns Avant Academy Music School, another important area in the development of Jamaican music.

This week On Target is adding a new element to the mix. You asked and we listened so it's time to add SKA to the show. We still offer masses of Soul, R&B, Popcorn, Northern Soul and Rockin' Blues mixed with Beat, Garage, Psych and Freakbeat but if we are going to be true to Mod then Ska must be a part of the mix. Your feedback is more than welcome.

Hopeton Brown presents Fred Campbell and his new band Skajamz Wednesday, April 27, 2016 @ 9:000 pm Call in: 661-467-2407 Fred  Campbell started playing congos while he was still in high school. After graduation he stumbled on Kes Chin and there he met Lester Sterlin, Keith Studdart, Winston Turner and Rupert Bent. These musicians would continue to be a part of his musical journey. He then went to CarlosMalcolm and the Afro Jamaican Rhythms. There he recorded songs like Rucumbine, Run For Cover and a mento medley, all with Carlos. He made the transition to the north coast, playing in the hotels. Here he met and worked with Leslie Butler and his wife Janet, who is an accomplished guitarist. This led to not only playing north coast hotels but top notch clubs in the Bahamas. He returned to Jamaica to play at the Glass Bucket club with an all star band with Ernest Ranglin, Leslie Butler and Roland Alphonso.  Next was his migration to the USA where he gave up music and started a business. After a good and prosperous ten years or so, Fred declared "Now it's my time", and with that, Skajamz was born.Skajamz is his today and tomorrow.

There he recorded songs like Rucumbine, Run For Cover and a mento medley, all with Carlos and as a side gig, recorded most of the top local singers. With Carlos he toured almost every island in the Caribbean. He then got married and made the transition to the north coast, playing in the hotels. Here he met and worked with Leslie Butler and his wife Janet, who is an accomplished guitarist. This lead to not only playing north coast hotels but top notch clubs in the Bahamas. He returned to Jamaica to play at the Glass Bucket club with an all star band with Ernest Ranglin, Leslie Butler and Roland Alphonso. He then started his own band and went back to the north coast. Here he met Richard White, Devon James, Orville Hammond and a few other rising stars. Next was his migration to the USA. Here he gave up music and started a business, all to please his wife. After a good and prosperous ten years or so, Fred declared "Now it's my time", and with that, Skajamz was born.Skajamz is his today and tomorrow.

Lloyd Mason – Jamaican Pre-Ska - Bass, Flute, Oboe, Piccolo The Val Bennett orchestra was playing dance music at a house party on Lloyd Mason’s street (7th Street in Greenwich Town) and a five year old Lloyd snuck out of the house to listen to the orchestra and he stayed there all night long. “Thats where I belong and I believe that’s where my music started – right there.” In 1945 at age ten, Lloyd was living with his mother and became unruly. Soon, his father came to get him and brought him to Stony Hill School. Lloyd’s father served in the Jamaican Army with the bandmaster and arranged for this move in order to teach Lloyd a trade or to learn music. Lloyd was not put into music immediately. He was taken to learn shoe-making. Six months later, the bandmaster came to speak with him and examined Lloyd’s fingers and his mouth, handed him a six-hole fife and said, “You’re going to learn this.” Bass player, Cluett Johnson’s brother was also a youth at Stony Hill School and he played the piccolo. Cluett’s brother taught Lloyd the fife. Roland Alphonso was also at Stony Hill and was playing the slide drum. Despoite his young age, Lloyd became accomplished at the flute in playing with Stony Hill Boy’s Band. Over at the Jamaican Military Band, a man named Spud Murphy was the drum major and the flute and piccolo player. As it came time for Spud Murphy to retire, The Military Band was challenged as it had no trained members to play the fife. None could read, write, or play the fife. To address this need, the Bandmaster for the Military Band spoke with the bandmaster at Stony Hill about Lloyd’s move to the Military Band. There was no audition for Lloyd Mason after Spud Murphy left. It was obvious who had the ability to fit the role. The fellow band members began to call him “Spuddy” or “Boy Mason.” Lloyd was the youngest person in the Jamaican Military Band and was a “young hand.” Marjorie Whylie (well known educator and Musical Director of The Jamaican National Dance Theatre Company) commented on the work of Mr. Mason, “Lloyd Mason is a well known bass player who can read music very well and is an absolute asset for musicians in his company.” _______________________________________________________ Selected Cuts: Off the “I Cover the Water Front” LP Port-O-Jam Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Lloyd Mason (Bass), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lowell Morris (Drums), Don Drummond (Trombone) “Sometimes I Am Happy” “Loafers and Wristless” “Grooving With The Beat” ________________________________________________________ Off the “Jazz Jamaica” LP, Studio One Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Don Drummond (Trombone), Ernest Ranglin (Guitar), Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Carl McLeod (Drums), Billy Cooke (Trumpet), Tommy McCook (Tenor Saxaphone), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lloyd Mason (Bass). “Calypso Jazz” “Serenade In Sound” (Featuring Don Drummond) b “The Answer” (Featuring Tommy McCook)
