one love, one heart lets get together and play tune

There exists this magical place in cyberspace where music lovers come together and post 'tune' and vibe in the cyber company of one another. The cyber city wherein this little enclave is found is Facebook, but before you go "oh dear, a facebook thing/app, it has to be folly" hear me out. This little cyber hole might be a Facebook group, but it lives up, for the most part, to its name, "I dedicate this group to real tune..." For those outside of, or unfamiliar with Caribbean musical jargon, when a song/piece of music is titled as 'tune' it means its either very popular or it merits distinction from other songs. This merit could be based on things like the musical concept of the piece, to the arrangement, to the lyrical content, instrumentals, etc. but it has to be distinct and distinctly good. This group is dedicated to real tune..and by real tune I mean the songs merited above others, not for popularity, but for being distinctly good in some aspects, if not all.

Look at these offerings from last nights crazy, crazy reggae session:

           Dennis Brown - Money in my Pocket

Beres Hammond - Warriors Don't Cry 

Matisyahu - Jerusalem

Bushman - Call the Hearse

It is a group formed by Caribbean nationals, but its focus is not solely on Caribbean music like reggae and dancehall. Dubstep, rock, trance, hip hop and rap,  r and b, have strong representation in this group too. This group is a private group, kinda like a members only club, but is has members from across the Caribbean and even as far as away as Sweden, so we are actually global in scope and representation and musical preference.

For this blog post I dedicate it to real tune... from which ever genre.
