Protoje’s Strange Happenings - A Remake of A Classic ( In Search of Lost Time)
One Reggae album I am really diggin at the moment is Protoje’s In Search of Lost Time. The album has some well produced and thought out tracks. I also dig the way he is using “visualizers” to promote it.
Below is one of the tracks that really caught my attention. Why? It is a remake of a classic Reggae/Dancehall Song by Papa san. The title of the song is called Strange Happenings. It speaks of life and the changes we face and how strange it can all seem. I like how he states that even in his time of abundance and joy , there are still some strange thoughts that run through the mind.
The difference between Papa SAN’s song and Protoje’s is that Papa SAN’s was a love gone wrong while Protoje’s is about life in general. I think Papa San must be proud of this remake. It will also bring attention to his catalogue as many young to the culture may not know this legend.
Listen to the YouTube playlist created for the album here
Below I leave you with the original song by Papa San himself. Interestingly Papa SAN’s son went to my high-school so I would see him pull up now and then and give a talk to the youths. He would always give out money as well. Papa San is now a hardcore Reggae Christian artiste but in essences, he has always been.
