For this 1993 outing, Half Pint--by now grown to at least full quart-size--bounces his clear "youthman" tenor off crisp dancehall jams provided by the High Times band with reggae's sax legend, Dean Frazier. Lead track "Give Me Some Loving" makes a promising start. "Mr. Landlord" and "One Ghetto" are brilliant examples of Half Pint's gift for rendering sonic-perfect sketches of ghetto realities, and he turns in a sweetly funky cover of "If I Had a Hammer." "Mary Longtongue" is another winner, despite the weird title. But the rest of the tracks find this '80s reggae dancehall sensation passing off retreads of whatever worked before. --Elena Oumano

Magical Beat CD.......2001-10-26

This group has a nice mix of styles, reggae, soca, etc. In both Spanish and English, as most of the band members are from San Andres Island or Providencia Island. The residents of these islands speak Caribbean English, but the islands are Colombian territories, so Spanish is also spoken. And the leader of the group, Robert Taylor, also learned some French to write for their trips to Martinique and Guadelope. The guy makes me jealous, he can do everything I can't do (multilingual, musically talented, etc.).
Oh, and I forgot to mention, my wife is one of the gals in the band (Dalinda), so I guess this rating isn't totally unbiased.
