Episode Details

Tad’s International Records drops its fifth “Celebrating Jamaica” compilation, “Sixty-Four,” a vibrant 17-track tribute co-produced by Tad Dawkins and his son, spotlighting Jamaica’s rich musical tapestry from mento to dancehall. The elder Dawkins reflects on the series’ growing fanfare and cultural significance, while pre-album singles like Duane Stephenson’s “You Have Caught Me,” Vybz Kartel & Mavado’s “Happiest Days,” and Brigadier Jerry’s “World Peace” build anticipation. Highlights include Grampa Entatain’s nostalgic “Khaki” and a heartfelt “Kukudoo Medley” honoring the late gospel legend. Founded in 1984, Tad Dawkins’ label launched with a reimagined Dennis Brown classic that became a cornerstone of reggae history.
