The Special AKA of October 21, 1981 (Radio Bremen Germany)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Cuba in 1934, raised in Kingston, Jamaica, and passed away in London in 2015, trumpeter Rico Rodriguez was an icon of ska and reggae, musically active from his apprenticeship at the Jamaican Alpha Boys School with Don Drummond until his old age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith his love for jazz and the combination of rhythm'n blues, ska and reggae, as well as the African-inspired sounds of the burru drum and the so-called Rasta chants, Rico developed his very own style. Rico moved to London in the early 1960s, but it was not until a decade later that he was recognized as a musician when he was hired as a studio musician by Island Records. In 1976, Rico released his album \"Man From Wareika\" on Island, which is still considered a groundbreaking and outstanding example of Jamaican instrumental music. In 1979, he joined the British ska band The Specials, forming the horn section with his friend and long-time companion Dick Cuthell, an English flugelhorn and cornet player.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rest is rock history; the band's albums and singles stormed the charts not only in Great Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to his commitments with The Specials, Rico never missed an opportunity to go on tour with his solo program. He was often accompanied by The Special AKA, a spin-off of The Specials with band members Dick Cuthell, Jerry Dammers, Lynval Golding, Horace Panter and John Bradbury. This was also the case at Rico's concert on October 21, 1981 in Bremen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan from Wareika (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria, October 21, 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLumumba (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria, October 21, 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Day (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria, October 21, 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedley: Confucius \/ Addis Ababa (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria, October 21, 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedley: Every Time I Hear the Sound\/Shank I Sheck\/Get Up; Stand Up (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWa-Do-Dem (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody Needs Love (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedley: Rock a Man Soul \/ Peace and Love (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRasta Call You (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake Five (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJungle Music (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Ya Talkin' 'Bout (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfrica (Live @ Bremen University Cafeteria; October 21; 1981)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 885513034120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made In Germany Musi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.6.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rico Rodriguez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58254050689105,"sku":"231132","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4420674-3382624.jpg?v=1759469211","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/rico-rodriguez-this-day-in-bremen-live-october-21-1981-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
