Relax and populist. That reggae flow on her body. His name is familiar. For the layman or the origin of Jamaica music lovers this. Q Tony, the man who is reluctant to mention the real name of this so eloquently sang his songs.
Aku anak kampung
Mencoba hidup di kota
Mencari harapan sinar terang kehidupan
Karena lahan-lahan di kampung mulai menghilang
Digantikan bangunan entah milik siapa
(Song Tony Q)
Most of the lyrics Tony Q tells about the social conditions in the community. For him only with the work he is able to contribute something to the nation.
"Because maybe with more work we can give discourses on the younger siblings, learning-learning through song. There is an embrace of reggae as a musical concept. If I embrace
reggae is the concept of life. There was a struggle that means life is to be fought. Maybe reggae considered as representative of a musical genre wrote. "
Calling in life
Reggae is his vocation. For this dreadlocked man was willing to leave his job as a well-established Quality Control in a canning factory owned by a Singaporean company.
Choosing to live on the streets and leave the establishment which has not an easy thing. For the choice of his life that he had to deal with family insults his wife's family also. But does not dream of life worth fighting?
"I do long to be singers, 5-6 years on the streets, in Block M. The moment I decided I never actually ngamen good work. Materially many people regretted working out why, really stupid. Even so buskers. And it may make parents are very embarrassing, but it's a calling, that is no longer an option but a call. That is when I started out in the street music I feel that life is semeleh. I do not think I'll be famous or not famous, but I did something to my heart also happy to do it. "
Seven years with the band that made his name Rastafara, the 2000 Tony Q decided to make a solo album, shaded by a company without any music. Name Rastafara still behind its name because people already identified himself with the group from this reggae singer.
"I'm not used to playing blues, rock, country music all macem. Continue to '89 I was interested in reggae as it may first there is a transition saturation does happen to make music and reggae music in a relaxed and I just happened to be able to bring in a musical game. Joined the Rastafara years 1993 and disbanded in 2000. From there I made a solo Tony Q Rastafara because people are identical with it. The dissolution due to a classic problem. Reggae did not sell he said. "
Folk music
Folk music of his name, I wonder if the current democratic party was the inspiration to make the album. The man who idolized Bob Marley makes Musick who could provide to the public discourse, especially music lovers.
"The album is dedicated to the public, especially fans of reggae as a discourse in order to know just addressing political conditions. It's political discourse and awareness-awareness to do something better. The concentration of the presidential election. Many people who want to be president of the people who continue to be so. "
Brown-bodied men are convinced that the musical is selected as the choice of his life can not be separated from community life. Therefore he felt he had poured his songs contained in it.
"Because maybe with more work we can give discourses on the younger siblings, learning-learning through song. There is an embrace of reggae as a musical concept that I embrace
reggae is the concept of life. There was a struggle that means life is to be fought. Maybe reggae considered as representative of a musical genre wrote. "
Playing music, playing character or a player theater, becoming a teacher or whatever life choices selected by each man was leaving a big responsibility. Not only for ourselves but for others.
Choose
And only you and me who have chosen that path, which is able to prove to everyone that we are happy with the way we choose.
"Reggae is my life. From '89 means I have 20 years of playing reggae music. That was already panggilanlah. I do not feel compelled to play the music and I am also not a lot of demands, ga wah later behavior or behavior. Well it's seneng wrote. "
Dare to choose the path of life is also an option. Get up, stand up and believe that the path we choose is true, as Bob Marley.
