Break Down The Walls

It’s been several years since we posted a reggae song so here’s a new one. It’s arranged in the typical classic reggae fashion with the “one drop” rhythm, i.e., little or no emphasis on the first drum beat and a snare or similar hit on the third beat. We provided a handclap for the third beat emphasis. After the solo we added Janice on cajon for a wee bit of a lift.

At 17 tracks we have definitely exceeded our mix pay grade!

And yep, classic reggae can be a bit redundant and outro fades are very common. So there! smile

The slightly tweaked lyric was written by Leon of Peter&Leon with Peter, of course, being our music partner and featured guitar player.

As always comments are welcomed and thank you Peter for the guitar and PG Music.
And thank you if you choose to listen. Lyrics are on SC.
