Juba Dance -
Orange
- Juba Dance’s Orange is a parade of
electronica funk and big band orchestra sounds, for an
eclectic blend that will get your body moving.
“Tomorrow” has guitar and percussion and a flock of
people in the background clapping. The voices can really get
listeners ablaze. The singer’s low timbre has a tough yet
philosophical ring to it, as he gives listeners a glance into
his past, with lines like, “I was born in Chicago…Finally I
understand, see my money in my pockets they don’t get lost.”
Listeners can picture the urban life and toil the vocalist is
trying to express in his somewhat vexed tone of voice.
“Union Hall” has a completely different vibe to it
with futuristic and electronic sounds. This song is definitely
one that listeners are sure to hear at their local techno club
as lasers bound off the walls and the patrons, while the
modern sounds cause everyone to groove to the beats. Even the
lyrics are guaranteed to get you onto the dance floor, with
lines like, “Tell all your friends, get everybody movin’ let
your union hall, let your union hall, let your union hall, let
your union hall.” It is unclear the meaning behind this song
but the rhythm is so catching that one can’t help but move
their bodies to the contemporary punch.
“Double Dutch
Hymns” is a sprightly tune that will remind listeners of their
youth and hanging with friends during the summer or on the
school yard. It has more clapping and lines that will get you
geared up to hop and have fun, such as, “Hey hey hey ha ha ha
hey hey hey . From one to three, seven days week. I‘m four,
five, six of the words they speak.” You can envision kids
singing this song as they negotiate the travails of jump rope
either on the playground or in their own backyards, surrounded
by buddies in a tournament to see who is the best at
Double-Dutch.
Juba Dance’s Orange has
quick-witted numbers that will brighten your mood as well as
tracks that have such a contagious beat that it is impossible
to repel the urge to dance to, either alone or with the person
nearest to you.
