Rev&Pappa

Reverend MC and Pappa Shotgun are walking alleys. strolling avenues, crossing bridges in the city where grit meets glamour and the relentless rhythm of life is a romantic symphony for the soul under the glow of a million lights. 

Reverend MC en Pappa Shotgun nemen een diepe duik in de West Afrikaanse cultuur, rijk aan traditie, religies en gevarieerde kunstvormen. De muziek vertelt het verhaal van de verhalenvertellers, dwars door etnische afkomst, talen en gewoontes, altijd dansbaar en opwindend.

Reverend MC and Pappa Shotgun are going back to Jamaica again. This time exploring the very beginnings of Ska. They left no stone unturned, the result is a wonderful mix of R&B, jazz and carribean music of the 50's and 60's. Educative and entertaining as always.

Het jaarlijkse grote radiospektakel is nog niet eens begonnen of Reverend MC en Pappa Shotgun zijn al klaar met hun draai aan de lijst der lijsten.  Onbevreesd, avontuurlijk en eclectisch is er weer selectie gemaakt uit variaties op (oud) Top 2000 nummers. Dit heeft wederom een gevarieerde en vermakelijke show opgeleverd. 

Reverend MC and Pappa Shotgun are wearing platform shoes, polyester Nik Nik shirts  and pimp hats and moving across the dance floor under a sea of glitter balls on the four on the floor beats with a 120 BPM speed.

Improving on the first episode was a mission impossible, they said. But Reverend MC and Pappa Shotgun gave it a try. The result is astonishing.

Reverend MC and Pappa Shotgun scraped the bottom of their boxes of 45's to assemble a list of 50's and 60's party songs never heard before. The result is a wild mix of weird,  noisy  and soulful R&B treasures of the era.
