Back in london this was massive Hit for Barry Brown Not to mention ..the Dub plate track wicked bassline and drums r.i.p. Mr Barry Brown This ya classic fyaaaa.
The most powerful song in jamaicas African heritage. Yet the people are weak in the spirit. Start roast back funny banana and breadfruit, and catch unnu buckets and drums a rain water.
Agree, Jamaican too fallafafashin . we could have been the wachanda of the Caribbean! instead we let greed and weakness take control.we had everything that we needed .we let the wicked people come in and take it all because we stop appreciating what we had .
Amennnn. Big up rispek pon di artist Bruddah mon Barry Brown RIP. This was an awesome Irie irie chuuune. Bless up uno him. One Love ♥️ to our Belated Bruddah Barry Brown inna Holy RIP in Jah's holy care. We miss you Bruddah Nyah Barry!!
This riddim is actually a version to the classic *"Jah Shakey"* by Roland Alphonso, which was recorded at Studio One in 1967 and it is one of the baddest instrumentals ever made. Barry Brown's cut became a huge hit for him, so that's why the riddim took on another name: *"Far East."* But the original's from Studio One. This riddim also goes by the name *"Rockers Hop"* and *"Jack Steady."*
Far East. This simple riddim by the late great Barry Brown is the boss of boss-riddims. Some of the greatest roots men and dancehall artists have sampled this riddim. I counted up to 200 different samplers and lost count. The list of heavyweight samplers of Far East, in no particular order include Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, Big Youth, Sugar Minott, Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, Gregory Isaacs, Horace Andy, I-Roy, Johnny Osbourne, Leroy Smart, Michael Rose (ex-Black Uhuru), Delroy Wilson, Shabba Ranks, Trinity, Barrington Levy to name but a few. Barrington Levy's sample IMHO is the greatest of them all.
Cocoa Tea is the one who kickedstarted the whole version ting on this riddim with *'Tune In'* for Jammy$ 1985-86. Jammy$ based his cut on the Channel One classic that Barry Brown made famous almost 10 years earlier.
@Chu Konwea +. I doubt it. Many of the artists you've named preceded Barry B. It's more likely a foundation rhythm going way back. The Far East sound is synonymous with Augustus Pablo as far back as the early 70s.
The bloke beneath me talks about "strolling through" market places. I did the same when I was younger. Loads of markets I strolled. Ridley Road market was my FAV. Tunes like this remind me of those days. I miss them so much 😭😭😭😭
i remember this record cause i stolling in marcketplace i that time i wa s very fanatic of reggae music look this story i walk in to the marcket and don't i have to the money so and in fact "look eveywher sometime no right now i'm decided to stoll this lp after i try a good ideea 50pour cent in a rank to the rock music i talk the poor jacket to the elvis and he introding mr barry brown it'true today when i look elvis i love elvis
This song is poorly arranged, he his singing off keys but with all its flaws, it's a gem-I love it. I have it in my 10 reggae dancehall music of all times.
the king of reggea barry brown all way
I remember this when I was 12 years old. This is a timeless riddim. Coco Tea tune in riddim too
This song reminds me of when Jamaica was truly,, beautiful back in the seventies !.
Mercy Dear Lord 👏👏👏🏻
When Barry brown sings I feel like am in holy mt zion
Any time this tune in a dancehall a different vibration especially kilimanjaro sound system big tune for years without fears
To be in a Jah Love session when this tune plays and then Briggi step on the version is mesmerizing

Do anyone know the song called How long? It has the same rhythm and the song is from the late 60's early 70's Not the Pat Kelly version.
POW POW POW POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
lol right
yo when he says "far east", it's similar to "forest" in Jamaican English - am I right? is this intentional, if so?
