I played the shit out of this album for years. the brilliant and justifiably legendary Jah Shaka. In the very early days he would book the studio weekly, and shared building in Peckham, with Jah Shaka Music operating from the HQ /b7GOQRYV1A Shaka played a huge part in the establishing of AriwA It’s a sad day today, as we say farewell to my friend Knocky, the Zulu warrior, Jah Shaka. A musical giant who was beloved far & wide a pillar within our Black communities and a real messenger. Jah Shaka, legendary reggae sound system pioneer, has died. "The sound system was formed as a vehicle to bring a message of peace. Formative years, divine sounds, THE master. Had a lot of wild club experiences in my time but nothing could beat stumbling into the Rocket hazy headed & bleary eyed becoming overwhelmed by the power of bass. Writer Nadine White quoted Shaka saying, “The sound system was formed as a vehicle to bring a message of peace to bring people together.” Formative years, divine sounds, THE master.” Trevor Jackson wrote of his impact and influence, writing: “Had a lot of wild club experiences in my time but nothing could beat stumbling into the Rocket hazy headed & bleary eyed becoming overwhelmed by the power of bass. Tributes from across the scene have since flooded in. His spiritual message and unique sounds went on to inspire the likes of Iration Steppas and Jah Warrior as well as the Slits and Public Image Ltd. He helped show this experience by playing himself in the 1980 cult classic Babylon a film detailing the struggles of fronting a soundsystem in Thatcher-era London. It helped families know other families, which was important at that time because the people were so forced to be segregated.” In the 1950s and 1960s in London, there were house parties – 50, 60 people with only record players. For any compositing more serious than that I'd choose a nodal solution like Blender or Ramen.“So, over the years, this is all that people had to keep them together. The fact Wax works as a plug-in for Lightworks in my opinion is a huge bonus for wax. The two main things that keep me looking at Jashaka is that it is the only free dedicated layer based FX editor I know of besides Wax, and it rendered very quickly. I'm hoping all these things will get resolved with the new version of Jahshaka, but there's a lot of ground to cover. ![]() I don't believe it had any vector or paint based masking tools beyond it's 2d paint program and titler meaning currently Wax has more video compositing power than Jahshaka 2. The node linking in Jahshaka was nothing more than a visualized stack, and with out layer linking like in After FX it's compositing capabilities were limited. I mean one could manually key in ease, but that's a lot of waisted effort when Blender and Ramen have full F-curve editors and even Wax has basic key frame easing. One of the bigger problems it had was linear key frames. Tools that worked in one part of the program worked differently, didn't exist or didn't work in another part. One concern is the chaotic interface it had. I have many concerns about Jahshaka that if not addressed will prevent it from being taken seriously in a professional environment.
