Rasta Santa

©2015 Robert Randall Burke


Rasta Santa
Come to the island
When his work is done
Rasta Santa
He's always smilin'
When he sit in the sun.

Rasta Santa
Come to Jamaica
Make everytin' Irie
Rasta Santa
Big party-maker
Drinkin' rum by the sea.

When the sun go down
Over Kingston Town
All the people come out to play
Music blarin' out
Happy people shout
Rasta Santa
Don't go away!

A very mellow Christmas tune - your vocals are perfect.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hey Bob

I like that. Didn't know what to expect. What a great choice of Reggae.

Your delivery is superb. Accent and all!

Dreadlocks all the way, and the sleigh-bells fading in the background - Nice

Great mix and great fun song

Bob, I have a soft spot in my heart for this type of music. I was lucky enough to have spent 6 months building a house in Negril in the early 70's. No resorts or much of anything except beach then . They had just gotten electricity the month before I got there. There was a local reggae band that let me sit in now and then. They were rhythm monsters! Nice little write and very well sung. Great job. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Tom

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
