Kokong Sound System

I AM A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN WALKING BY FAITH
What is a Sound System? In the context of Jamaican popular culture, a sound system is a group of disc jockeys, sound engineers, and emcees playing ska, rocksteady or reggae music. The sound system scene is generally regarded as an important part of Jamaican cultural history and as being responsible for the rise of several modern Jamaican musical genres.
Hello, I'm Francis Tahud a.k.a Kokong ! I sing currently for three bands, that is The Superflirts (my ska band), First Protest (my protest band), and Sound Machine Bidong (my weird band). I have been a ska fan for almost eight years now. Yes, I know I'm a late bloomer -- considering ska saw its birth in the early 50's -- but I'm still not that old you know, so I guess it's okay. From the very first time my ears encountered the music up until now, it has never failed to give me such excitement. Every time I listen to the sweet syncopated sound that originated from a small Caribbean island which you and I call Jamaica, it gives me that nostalgic feeling that really pumps me up. I may not be a disc jockey, a sound engineer or an emcee but my driving force is very much up to par with them, which is, to promote the beloved music. My purpose for Kokong Sound System is to share my little collection of authentic Jamaican ska tunes to as many people who will open this page and listen to the songs. Humbly speaking, this is also my little tribute to all the Jamaican artists who were there from the very start of the whole ska revolution; the pioneers who took time to master their skills and introduced the world the music that we all loved and will love -- ska.
