Spicing up me life
Bin listenin to a lot of richie spice of late
Thats him on the side deh…chillin
Is bin a joyful spicy musical ride
an acquaintance once remarked:
~I overstand now why how Richie can sing the way he does~
She happen to be travelin with Richie on a tour
From one African country to another
A long journey of over six hours
And thru out da whole trip
Richie neva said a word
Until them got to the destination
And when Richie did speak it was to ask
What time is sound check…or singthing to that effect..practical
Then off to his room to rest an meditate…
A true rasta man this here Richie
He even say so his self:
~I mah true rastaman smoking me herb doin mah ting~
I rememba whe I first heard Richie
Marijuana had just catapulted him into world charts
and everywhere yu go yu cud hear that hauntin dedication to Marijuana
~nah nah nah nah nah nah yeeah~
That was such a refreshing sound to hit the scene
And I was down in the island call Sicily
Back in the daze of mah island haze in Palermo
Reggae music was/is a rarity there but is there awright
The massive is scattered far and wide and in isolation
So we wud wait fo summer to colour the island red gold n green
Summer was opportune ca we cud jus camp by the seaside an listen to all the reggae weneed
It was also perfect ca all the yutes com back fo holydaze
If is not by the seaside it wud be at some camping area in the midlands
I memba chillin by the seaside meditatin an watchin mr sun takin his leave
The magic of the orange ball of fire setting
Accompanied by the sounds of richie spice
~nah nah nah nah nah nah yeeah~
That was majestical
And eva since then I hav always bin a Richie spice reader/listener
I rememba also whe I first catch him live
It was at rototom sunsplash
And I believe t’was his first euro tour and everyone wanted a piece of him
~ Babylon A Gwaan~
But Richie In his black skull cap and red hand glove was neva fooled
That’s why he is where he is now and why he sings the way he sings
Then yu can have a full on session on his ganja chunes
Then almost as sudden he would humble you an bring ya back in ya dis ya time reality
An acute observer and commentator of social decadence and social upliftment he is
And if your hearing is keen yu will ear that his imagination is alive
Yu can ear his message is deeper than the light breeze’s sound.
I was gonna put up some quotes from his repertoire
Snippets from here and there
But I think i better leave that to the experts
here is a better write up on Mr Spice
