JAHMming Caribbean Tunes You Forgot About 🌴 #BlastFromThePast

Turning up your car stereo on a Sunday morning. Walking in the club on old skool night. Or even that one hip commercial using a hot beat. These are all moments in which we can experience that nostalgic moment of hearing a wicked tune we forgot about. And as soon as you feel the music you know exactly what moves you used to use and how to get down to the ground. I frequently try to find those songs to put on the playlist on my phone. So why not share them right? Here are a few of those tunes of the Caribbean kind that you possibly forgot about.

We start of with a classic by the one and only mr. Boombastic himself Shaggy, who in turn took another even classicy classic by Mungo Jerry and upped the island vibes to over 9000. This is a popular concept on the islands, taking an already good song with a strong fundamental musical base and adding some Caribbean flavors to it.

After we put away our maracas, Ini Kamoze comes in hot with, well, "Here comes the Hotstepper". This is not necessarily Caribbean in genre as it leans more towards HipHop, but in it's origin it certainly is. As a Jamaican born artist, Mr. Kamoze makes sure to blend in some IRIE vibes into his nostalgic masterpiece.

The next one may not be as old, but it surely counts as a classic for those of my generation. No dancehall night was complete without throwing a round of this tune into the mix, and before you knew it everyone was whining up on each other. The St. Vincentian definitely reached his goal of turning people on with "Turn Me On".

Last but certainly not least we take a look at this weird, but jacked, British dude, who was able to channel his inner islander and give us this classic called "Mysterious Girl" to smoothly serenade our high school crush in style on the dance floor. This is one of my personal favorites, so I don't tend to forget it, but every so often I catch someone off guard with this item on my playlist. Featuring Jamaican artist Bubbler Ranx amping up the IRIE, I'm sure Peter Andre had the girls all over the world feeling mysterious.
