Oh Carolina


Carolina by the Folk Brothers





"I tell him play "Oh Carolina" and don't stop playing it. When he put it on and that drum pu-do-do-dum went up in the air for the first time ever irt was the sound of Rasta searching for some kind of identity...
Of course the radio wouldn't play it, because society was so terrible against Rastas. First they said they couldn't play it because they didn't think it was a record, because it wasn't constructed the way American music was constructed."
Prince Buster, in Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley
