Forelock & Arawak - To The Foundation / Islander Taking Over | EP 2 | Goa Music Diaries

Подробнее о видео

Every season, Goa becomes home to many musicians and artists from around the world. Each one has a unique story to tell. Goa Music Diaries is an attempt to give a glimpse into the local sub-culture of this magical land. Showcasing the music and the beautiful landscapes in Goa.

Forelock & Arawak Reggae 's relationship with Goa started we few year's back when they came down to perform at Goa Sunsplash 2016. This also marked the first year of the festival, and the so called emergence of what will later become one of the biggest gathering of Reggae culture in India. Back then rising artist, Forelock is now an international star. We were able to get him to record this original tune (produced by none other than Paolo Baldini DubFiles) one pleasant Goan afternoon at The Melting Pot Livestage in Mandrem in north Goa.

To The Foundation / Islander Taking Over

Lyrics:
Mi left mi land with out carry no guns
Mi pack up mi backpack with mi personal belongs while mi
Step on that mi ah jump and prance
Muma says "when you ah come back?” me nah have no answer
Life is one you nah go get more chance
So mi gwaan and care about mi good god plans

Tell you bout the reason man a bigging up mi people dem who
Born and grow a Sardinia island

But mi nah left what mi love
Mi leave my home land
But me nah left what mi love
Check this ya islander taking over
From the foundation coming over

Forelock & Arawak

After the successful international breakthrough of Italian Reggae Ambassador Alborosie, Italy has seen the emergence of some new reggae talent with international potential. One of them is Alfredo Puglia aka Forelock from Sassari, Sardinia, who was born into a musical family. About ten years ago he teamed up with Sardinia’s Arawak, a respected backing band for Jamaican artists on tour in Italy. Forelock became frontman of the band and proved to be one of the most promising voices in the Italian reggae scene. Thanks to the various collaborations sparked from his numerous travels to Jamaica, he earned the title of “Top Singa” among the national and European reggae community. At the end of 2015 he published his full-length debut album entitled “Zero” under the name of Forelock & Arawak.
