A Note to My Avid Rhythm Riders: Turn up the volume, open your heart, and step into the sunshine with Groovasmique — your gateway to a rhythmic global journey, bursting with dub reggae, roots reggae, ska, island vibes, and a kaleidoscope of world rhythms from every corner of the earth. It is the high summer here on the east coast of the USA. I am moving house by the fall so I am starting to organise and find old tunage from decades past. I am giving many World selections a rest as I delve into retro selections. So this will be a soundtrack for my journey of change. Enjoy the ride!
Along the way we will listen to all sorts of music. Let the basslines roll like waves from Kingston to Cape Town, the drums call from Havana to Istanbul, and melodies swirl through the Sahara to the South Pacific. These grooves aren't just sounds—they're soul medicine. They move your body, uplift your spirit, and connect you to something larger: a joyful, dancing humanity. As Bob Marley once said, "One good thing about music—when it hits you, you feel no pain."
And as Fela Kuti reminded us, "Music is the weapon of the future."Your soundtrack for healing, resistance, pleasure, and connection.This is the sound of world peace—driven by rhythm, rooted in love, and alive with the hope that every beat brings us closer together. From Brazilian Batucada to Balkan brass, from Afrobeat to Indian ragas, from shamanic chants to soulful harmonies—Groovasmique delivers a danceable vision of unity and freedom. Let it inspire you to move, to groove, to feel alive and whole. "Dance is the hidden language of the soul," said Martha Graham. We believe that when we dance together, the world is lighter, kinder, and full of grace. So kick off your shoes, find your flow, and join the Groovasmique movement. World music. Global Grooves. One love. One beat. One people.
