BELLA CARIB’S “BRUCK BRAAM DI YAH” WILL MAKE YOU HALLA!
......By Bilal Morris
The new 2019 hit single by Belizean recording and performing artist Bella Carib, “Bruck Bram Di Yah”, is bringing back the Boom & Chime Belizean Brukdong music in one of its rare forms.
Straight from out of Africa, the music of the black people of Belize called “Creoles” and the music associated with them, originated in the Mahogany Camps of the former British colony. This new flavor that Bella Carib comes back with on the scene after her pulsating hit single “Proud A Mi Culture” in the 1990s, then the smashing new album “Belize Creole Funk”, “Bruck Bram Di Yah” takes it all with its new Brukdong beat.
“Bring back di Samba” she sings in celebration of her ancestors who came as slaves to work in Belize’s prosperous forestry gold and serenades Belize’s River Valley villages of Monkey River singing the melodies of toil, struggle, and festivities.
“Bring back Creole old time” she laments through her song of culture that reflects upon a people who built the foundations of what is now called “Belize” the Caribbean beat in the heart of Central America. “You can dance di Brukdong with bend down knees” she calls out that echoes in her “Bruck Bram Di Yah” in the spirit of Mr. Peters glory as the late King of Belizean Brukdong.
“Put away di Pataki pat” she blares out as the caller who commands the bringing in of the new “Brukdong” sound and putting away of the old. As the music pump and grind through producer’s Patrick Barrow Brukdong mix, Bella wails out melodic vocals on top of bottomless baselines by Raymond Barrow, beating drums, scratching percussions, and syncopating accordion lines by Clinton “Junie” Crawford.
“Pull out yo dalla, make wi dalla walla” spins out into an harmonic tone of typical Bella Carib’s style of poetic Belizean patois justice that has made her one of the best female Caribbean performing artist of her time. She is back again with her dance crazed rhythm of Belizean Brukdong jamming in “Bruck Bram Di Yah”. Her upbeat dance flare that usually accompanies dance tracks like this one, will surely hit the Belizean dance floor for the upcoming 2019 Belize September celebrations.
Recorded at the SPACEOUT Studios in Culver City, California by Hip Hop recording producer Marlon “CHORDZ” Barrow and sound engineer Louis Harden, the new hit single by Bella Carib will make you “halla” and “falla di leeda” because her “Bruck Braam Di Yah”.
