jrockster21 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yo -- for those of you who love Reggae, I just came back from a dope ass show. The band is a local Oahu band called Ooklah the Moc...I have no idea what that means, so don't ask. Anyway, they are BOMB. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves Reggae... They are the best live Reggae I've seen, and I've seen Ziggy Marley and the Wailers several times. Excellent. Anyway, their website is www.ooklahthemoc.com, check out their CDs if you want. You can purchase them online via paypal. THE BOMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Bob's band was the Wailers and Ziggy's was the Melody Makers, or have the Wailers joined Ziggy? I saw Ziggy open for INXS in 88 or 89 and it was a great show. Hey jrockster, do you ever go to the Reggae Sunsplash out there? I saw it a couple times in Aiea when I was out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right -- Ziggy's band is the Melody Makers...I have however seen The Wailers several times (and Ziggy a couple). I'm working on 6 months out here, so I haven't hit up Sunsplash yet. I would love to check it out! I'm a big reggae fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsBry Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 You ever listen to Lucky Dube? When I was living there, my buddy got me hooked on his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 You ever listen to Lucky Dube? When I was living there, my buddy got me hooked on his music. No, can't say that I have. I've seen several local bands live (about 4 at the Aloha Festival in Waikiki), and remembering their names is hard!! They all have names in Hawaiian, and its really difficult to remember them, let alone pronounce them!! I will check out Lucky Dube...I'm going to hit up the store and buy some Ooklah the Moc CDs...I'll look for him there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurp Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If you like this band then I'm convinced you'll love Big Mountain and perhaps even John Brown's Body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanos Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 My God!!! Sunsplash is supposed to be in Jamiaca.Everything else is a fraud. Lucky Dube is more Afro-pop than reggae though.I could name the classics.But a living legend still putting out good music is Burning Spear.

Hmmm... Lucky Dube is about as roots reggae as any other artist in the genre. Are you sure you're not thinking about Alpha Blondy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurp Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 IMHO there's no one better at dub reggae than Linton Kwesi Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Big Mountain has been around for awhile...I like them a lot too. I think really good reggae can only be fully appreciated live...which is why its such a shame that Bob died so young.

I also like Lee Perry, The Scientist and King Tubby as well...all are very good. But LKJ is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw Tosh a few times before he was murdered. My two favorites though for live concerts is UB40 and Steel Pulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats what I am talking about, Burning Spear comes to The Record in Baltimore alot, and Lucky Dube goes to pier 5 occasionally. IMO Spear is the only living legend.
