🎶 Steel Drum – “No Woman No Cry” | Bob Marley Cover by Dano’s Island Sounds 🥁

🎬 Music Video by Dano’s Island Sounds 🎶

Start your day with relaxing steel drum music and let the tenor pan lift your mood with the carefree energy of Dano’s Island Sounds. 🌴🥁

This is my take on "No Woman, No Cry" — a heartfelt steel pan rendition of the Bob Marley classic, originally released on the 1974 album Natty Dread. I performed the tenor steel pan, drum set, electric guitar (for those recognizable reggae rhythm skanks), and added percussion elements like the Brazilian agogo bell and Afuche Cabasa shaker. I was joined by two incredible San Diego musicians: the smooth Robbie Hutchinson, bringing his wisdom and flair on double seconds, and Cecil McBee Jr., locking in the phat groove on bass.

The song itself carries deep roots. Though widely associated with Bob Marley, the official songwriting credit goes to his friend Vincent Ford, who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown. Marley's gesture helped ensure Ford could continue supporting the local community.

Whether you're watching the waves or easing into your evening, I hope this version brings you a bit of peace and island spirit. ☀️

My amazing mother sent me this video today, with this message: I've found a beautiful musical performance today. I am so in love with it that I want it played at my 80th birthday this year, and at my wake, or funeral, or memorial, whatever, or I'll return and haunt "youse fullas". Like a fine West Indian rum that I drank in my youth, this music has invigorated me. It's sent with my love and best wishes for your happiness in 2023. May you have laughter and family closeness this year.

For those of us Caribbean souls, who can remember the 40 gallon steel drums in the 1950s, emptied of their petroleum, heated in their cavity so that musical notes could be hammered out to 'tune de pan', and then were played with fists and were called 'cuff bass ' or were played with rubber balls attached to chop sticks and were called "alto pans"; please now marvel at the expert tuning of steel pans in 2022, seventy years later. These notes are 'true', soprano pans even exist, melodies can span 2-3 octaves and the percussive instruments to play the pans are new to me. I don't even know what they are. Please enjoy my new-found love.

I play Double Seconds. I was happy to find a cover including them in Bob Marley's song. Great cover I loved it so much.
