dispatches

Another dub from memories of childhood in Nigeria. To me, reggae evokes day to day living, work, walking, the movement of bodies in streets. Tarkwa was a beach outside of Lagos that ran for miles, peppered by vendors selling peanuts in old bottles. For some reason, the memory of seeing a woman carrying a heavy load on her head, her figure shimmering in the haze of heat from the beach, stuck in my head when I laid down the bassline.
