This Chutney-soca song from Nisha B also uses part of the same lambada melody as the J-Lo/Pitbull song!

from wikipedia
"Los Kjarkas is a Bolivian band from Capinota (a Province in the department of Cochabamba), one of the most popular Andean pop bands in the country's recent history. An unauthorised translation of their song Llorando se fue by French producers Jean Karakos and Olivier Lorsac resulted in Kaoma's hit, Lambada. Jennifer Lopez 's single "On The Floor" samples Los Kjarkas's single "Llorando Se Fue". After a successful lawsuit, Kaoma paid up and licensed the song."

I ent say nothing about lawsuit or sampling. I just throw the comment out there to see the response.

In this very thread however, there is a post with Ghetto Flex and Denise Belfon. Can we really get worked up over a cover of a version (or whatever it is) of a Tommy James and the Shondells song? Them fellas francoment tief Palance though.

I agree with socapro, there is obviously a market. Where T.I. when you need him?

 

The "silly" argument is de comparison between what we soca artists does do and what them fellas doing.  Yuh really cyah compare it.  I sure even Byron Lee, Buster Poindexter and Baha Men had good sense to get permission to use other people soca tracks in de past.  We artists does mainly borrow an melody here and there... dai's about it.

I think most people here know of the West Indian origins of the Afro-Panamenos... however nothing you just posted takes away from the fact that this is straight up thievery.

I Like it... I have an entire soca spanish mix I made in 2007 .. the had sum badd chune on them..

Nah, ah read where JW say they ask Kernal and he too eh know nutten about dem fellas.

Even a deaf man could here that the music is Palance but sung in Spanish. I have no issue with that. I love when Spanish, french, African, Portuguese, indian artistes use our songs. There was a English India artiste named Shiela Chandra. She had a big hit doing Shorty's Shanti Om. They tend  add something different that makes the song more popular. I love the thumping base and drums in reggaeton( how you doing, War!!). I love Zuok, Compas, kizomba. All them music have heavy soca rythms in them. That is how it should be. Music should never stay static. But at the same time, the oringinal artist/writer/composer should be given their just due when someone use their work. This has been the norm for ages. But some artistes have this "catch me if you can attitude" which does sour everything.
