Thank you for tuning into Vintage Love tonight. Some great music in store for you including Peter Tosh, Morgan Heritage, Bitty McLean, George Nooks, Mercy Chinwo, Marcia Griffiths and more. Anthems tonight as we celebrate Black History Month... musically. We feature the Anthems on VL because these are those songs that get the blood flowing... that make you listen.. make you think and make you ponder "the situation" we find ourselves in. These songs are songs of sadness, of history, of joy, of perseverance, strength and hope. Some music you can "just" listen too but these are songs that command your attention... command your ear so that you hear the fight and the struggles of others.. the struggles of us. I hope you enjoy the program tonight as we push the envelope of music that pushes us to be better. Better than we are.. better than we have been. Anthems tonight on VL... musically acknowledging and celebrating the struggle for equality and justice for all. "You dont haffi dread to be Rasta" Jah lives and rules and reigns.

Show's Intro
O'Shea, during the intro of the show, an instrumental piece is played while the lady says, "Sit back, relax, Vintage Love starts right now on the mighty CKCU". What is the title of that instrumental piece, O'Shea?

If I understand what you are referring to then it would be Odyssey 2001. Hope you like the intro to the show.

Mr. Adagio, how are you? How do you know when a song is at "Anthem status"? What 'marker' is used to evaluate this? Merci

Thanks - there’s a track that you have laid underneath the 2001 theme - that’s the one I’m after ! Cheers !!!

10:54 PM, February 17th, 2024
O'shea Adagio (host)
Hey Rob... so the show starts off with "Odyssey 2001" and then it moves into Desmond Dekker with "Dance The Night Away".

10:55 PM, February 17th, 2024
Show's Intro
Love the intro of the show! Love the raspy, silky, seductive female voice, while Odyssey 2001 is playing in the background. Nice piece-a-music!!💯✅️

Hey HB, how are you doing? Enjoying your weekend so far?

11:02 PM, February 17th, 2024
O'shea Adagio (host)
To me an anthem needs to have a few different components: 1. The lyrics nudge the listener to some positive thought and/or action. OR inform the listener of the conditions elsewhere that do not represent a wonderful place to live and to raise a family. 2. Songs of positivity, striving for something better 3. The beat.. although I do not think this is a requirement. I find that songs with a driving beat which speak of the struggle for a better life, freedom, justice and peace also factor in highly in anthems to me. But this is not necessarily so all the time. For example Bob Marley & The Wailers "No Woman No Cry", I think is an anthem as well but there is no driving beat, however the words, the emotion of the song.. to me make that an anthem as well.

Jeremy
Yes, I am enjoying the show. Sorry.

11:14 PM, February 17th, 2024
O'shea Adagio (host)
Okay.. then Rob it would be the Desmond Dekker tune called "Dance The Night Away". I think that is the one you must be referring too.

11:15 PM, February 17th, 2024
Rob
Thanks O’Shea- Desmond eh - nice !!

By the way... what time is it in Malaysia? And is the weather better than here right now... we are hovering at about -15 degrees C.

Buffalo Soldier is my top fav & I'm pretty sure it's an Anthem! The words say a lot of history...its Brilliant! Junior did a lot of interviews today on the Jamaican Diaspora! I learned a lot.

O'shea Adagio (host)
Hey Mandy, how are you doing? Thanks for tuning into the show. Where are you listening in from (if you don't mind me asking)?

11:19 PM, February 17th, 2024
hillbilly
Would every Bob Marley song be an Anthem 'cause he was The King?

11:28 PM, February 17th, 2024
Mandy
Just listening from the very east end of Ottawa! Nowhere as warm and exciting as some of the other listeners- I know

11:28 PM, February 17th, 2024
Jeremy and pops
My pop says playing his music. What’s going on?

11:29 PM, February 17th, 2024
Bonsoir
Thanks O'Shea for the explanation on .. "songs that fall into the category of "Anthems". Merci. You are a Gem! 💎❤🌹

Boy... I think you would have a good discussion with that one HB. Certainly soooo many great uplifting, conscious and positive songs of Jah's love and love for fellow humanity.

I'm having a great weekend so far! Got to spend some quality time with some of my favourite people today and now I'm listening to some solid hits while I do a little work. :-)

11:33 PM, February 17th, 2024
O'shea Adagio (host)
Totally agree.. Buffalo Soldier is truly a great 'nother anthem from BM&TW's. There are so many they gave us to learn from and to gain strength from to fight our own battles. Amazing!! Thank you to God for all of these amazing artists that give us music. What would life be without a soundtrack to accompany the ups.. the downs and all in between! Music Is Life. Love it.

There are some strong Anthems by Buju Banton....just not enough time!

11:47 PM, February 17th, 2024

Wow!!👀 Thanks O'Shea! You've definitely made my night!! One of my favorite Marcia tune! 💟

11:48 PM, February 17th, 2024
O'shea Adagio (host)
Hey Destiny... you are absolutely right. This is certainly not an exhaustive list.. just not enough time in 2 hours. Maybe a few days and I could play all the great anthems through the ages of Reggae music. This is just a touch for Reggae Month and Black History Month. Respect to those who take the ills of the times that we talk about and put it to song.

11:50 PM, February 17th, 2024

That would be nice

Re: song- "Jah Live" O'Shea, in my IM post, I had made a note of the time Bob's song - "Jah Live" was played during the show, and you erased it. Why??? :-(
