Hi all, Here's a french reggae song. Christian https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/au-rythme-du-reggaeRD ReggaeClassic^2 RT 1636 Electric Bass RT 2155 Electric Clav RT 1160 Piano RT 1055 Alto Sax RT 1347 Tenor Sax RT 1382 Tenor Sax UJAM Sparkle Electric Guitar Here's the translation of the lyrics : To soften my pain, reduce my torments, I take my oxygen at the heart of afterbeats. I think I'm lucky to travel this way. Someday I'll go on stage in a reggae band. To grow wings which will make me fly, this music is the one my guitar was dreaming of. Sometimes I'm rebellious and more often helpless. I make my life more beautiful with the rhythm of reggae.

Wow, that's two posts in 5 minutes that have disappeared.
This is a cool song. The only thing I feel is missing is the clavinet playing the little riff the sax does at the end of phrases - that would be a more BM & T Wailers signature piece I suppose but it's no issue as an instrument is doing it.
Lovely steady rhythm guitar.
Cheers
rayc

Christian, you are courageous in your wide explorations of the styles! I really like that!
Some things I liked about this:
--your 'economy' in melody/lyrics...not too many notes squeezed in, and seemed to fit the words/rhyming just right..that's good song-writing balance!
--I like reading your english translation..just like others on this forum who are not native-English speakers, your translation reveals some very interesting thoughts about how I might use some new lyric words in my work.
--Nice handling of reggae..I think sometimes that this style can lead to more copying than innovation--you have put the style and rhythm nicely in the background to support your work.
Great work, thanks for sharing!

Your reggae is very French.

Thanks Shigeki,
You're right.
I guess a french reggae must certainly seem quite original. Christian

Nice work on this one! Definitely an interesting spin on reggae, and a unique flavour for the showcase here. Love the groove on this, and the way you incorporated the saxophone on it was amazing. Definitely makes for an engaging listen. You should be proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

That's true that saxophones fit well with reggae music. Christian

French reggae with a tiny bit of UB40 flavour - what's not to like! I enjoyed it a lot!
Thanks for sharing!
