Ahh, when "yard music" dropped—Dennis Brown’s velvety vibrato, the revolutionary harmonies of Culture (the African Disciples), and Beres Hammond’s bittersweet croon—we didn’t just listen. We felt. We felt the music deeply in our chests, in our memories, and in our bones. When you listen to the program and understand how Mr. Desmond feels when he plays the music, you will understand that here is a man who loves his craft. Yes, he has the bag, but he is excellent at knowing how to deliver, understanding the audience, and recognizing the moment. When you listen, you will reminisce and feel every beat as the music drops. 

These were the sounds that wrapped around us like a warm Caribbean breeze, grounding us in roots and rhythm. They reminded us to slow down, to reflect, and to feel something real. We present this set to give you an opportunity to experience your special moment; your vibe is mixed into this musical vibe, and yes, you are welcome. 

The time you choose to listen—morning, noon or night, weekday or weekend—Mr. Desmond invites you to pour a glass, dim the lights, and vibe to the songs that connected Kingston to Port of Spain and beyond. These are the songs that upheld faith, evoked emotions, and remained timeless. Respect the roots. Celebrate the culture. Rewind the soul.
