Viva Bob! he didn't just pray.
He said it in his songs.
We don't need no more troubles in the world.
Keep on moving and stand up for your rights.
He said it in his songs.
We don't need no more troubles in the world.
Can we find excuses to tolerate injustice after so many years of claiming it day by day?
Intimidate us with death to force us to be slaves and give up our freedoms each day.
Viva Bob! he didn't just pray.
He said it in his songs.
We don't need no more troubles in the world.
Can we find excuses to tolerate injustice day by day?
We don’t need!
We don't need any more lies.
More fear to tie our minds.
More rules for the inmate.
We don't need, let them know!
We don't give up!
Viva Bob! he didn't just pray.
He said it in his songs.
We don't need no more troubles in the world.
Keep on moving and stand up for your rights.
He said it in his songs.
We don't need no more troubles in the world.
Creating a new reality.
They want us to get into their play.
Let's get on other train.
The Dub Yard Records presents its first reference "No Excuses" released on vinyl, a production by Javier Vicalo in collaboration with Monica Flyn on vocals and Héctor Sartal on trombone.
Mónica Flyn is a versatile Galician singer with influences from cabaret, swing and soul, currently approaching Jamaican music by the hand of this new Galician label. With "No Excuses," his second study work, Vicalo intends to deliver a message to an increasingly polarized world, in which there are, no longer, excuses to tolerate an unjust system that generates continuous conflicts.
The lyrics of the song reformulate Bob Marley's famous phrase "We don't need no more troubles", and offer a tribute to it, with the initial expression "Viva Bob", recalling that more than forty years ago Bob himself cried out for a fairer world.
Side B of the single features the dub version developed by Javier Vicalo, in which the instrumental arrangements performed by the Galician musician, who has been dedicated to Reggae for more than a decade, are appreciated in detail.
Héctor Sartal, as a trombonist and a regular musician of the label, brings us the icing on the cake in the production with his interventions, recalling the classic Reggae arrangements and thus generating a constant conversation.
