April 29, 2016 - Sister Nancy - Bam-Bam (1982)


This is a catchy piece of minimalist dancehall reggae, with saxophone, bass, and chicka chicka guitar. Sister Nancy sings in a thick Jamaican patois, and her vocals are heavily treated, so I have included a link to the lyrics. Sister Nancy celebrates her success as a talented female DJ in a male-dominated environment. I first heard this song 15 years ago, and it definitely got my immediate attention. Like, I probably stopped what I was doing and just sat there transfixed.
