I had previously recorded Boom! Tune of the Day daily on Instagram, so I'll be recycling some of those tunes, as well as digging for new ones... enjoy!
The Mighty Diamonds "Pass The Kouchie" (Original Boom! Tune Of The Day April 20, 2018).
Today's Boom! Tune of the Day is "Pass The Kouchie" by The Mighty Diamonds, from the 1982 Mango LP, Various Artists - Crucial Reggae - Driven By Sly & Robbie.
This one is the classic that inspired many follow up versions on the Full Up riddim.
Today's tune in in memory of two original members of the group, Donald "Tabby" Shaw, who was brutally murdered in Kingston, JA on March 30, 2022, and to Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson, who passed on April 1, 2022.
Here is a video from their 2008 performance at Club Red in Tempe, AZ.
