He also speaks in the perfectly modulated RP tones of a newsreader from the days before regional accents were allowed to sully Britain’s airwaves, a legacy of his time at the Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Drama. He looks, as he cheerfully admits, “like a bank manager”. On the other, there’s something about meeting Rodigan in person that brings home rather forcefully what a deeply improbable state of affairs this all is. At 65, he is both a legend in the Jamaican music industry and a national treasure in the UK: he is probably the only person ever to have been awarded an MBE and the title of World Clash Champion. He has now spent the best part of 40 years as Britain’s most celebrated reggae DJ. As detailed in his forthcoming autobiography, My Life in Reggae, he started out as an actor, but in 1978 parlayed an obsession that began as a teenage fan into a parallel career as a broadcaster. On the one hand, this is both fascinating and very much what one expects when one interviews Rodigan. Unless I can come back like a lion and claw you down.” He smiles. But if you lure me into playing that dubplate and then sting me with one saying your name and telling me I’m crap, I’m dead. So, I’ve got a dubplate that says, ‘I’m David Rodigan,’ and you’ve got a dubplate saying you’re Alexis, OK? On the night, if you play your Alexis dub and I play my David Rodigan dub, we’re quits, right? We’re equal. I’m sorry, a counter-action? “So, you’ve got a brilliant record by Johnny Osbourne – you get him to record a dubplate that names you. So, they know you’ve got a big dubplate by X, they go to X and get them to voice a counter-action.” There are different rounds, point-scoring systems, grounds for disqualification and strategies that make it, as Rodigan puts it, “the musical equivalent of a chess game”, in which “DJs deliberately set a trap. But, apparently, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’d always assumed that it was just a matter of two DJs each battling to win over a crowd by playing better records than each other, with a heavy emphasis on dubplates (specially recorded tracks with vocals that mention the DJ by name). He is doing it with breathless enthusiasm, but it is still taking quite a long time because, as it turns out, the rules of a reggae soundclash are a thing of byzantine complexity. If you look at my photograph, you can tell by the drumstick.🍗🍗īut overall, I thought both entrées were a good 🍽️ meal.D avid Rodigan is explaining the rules of a reggae soundclash to me. and in this case I was disappointed….the chicken was actually the size of a Cornish hen.
Also I had hoped for it to be in a little bit more on the dry side…It has been my experience that jerk chicken is more dry. The jerk chicken was not as spicy as I thought. I have been to Jamaica, and I have had both of these dishes. But they have hot sauce if you wish to kick it up a notch. And not as strong as what you would find at your local Indian restaurant. It’s a pretty mild like chicken would be. 🐐for those who never had goat, you need to try experience it.It is not gamy or anything like that. They both are very good and need to be tried.Ĭurried goat. Peas and rice, are Jamaican just beans and rice. I ordered two entrées one curry goat 🐐and Jamaican jerk 🍗 chicken 🐓.īoth entrées came with a warm.
