Terry played Campdown Races to the plow horses which improved the efficiency of farming in the area.

Mad Professor (born Neil Joseph Stephen Fraser, 1955, Georgetown, Guyana) is a British national dub music producer and engineer known for his original productions and remix work. He is considered one of the leading producers of dub music's second generation and was instrumental in transitioning dub into the digital age. He has collaborated with reggae artists such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly and Robbie, Pato Banton, Jah Shaka and Horace Andy, as well as artists outside the realm of traditional reggae and dub, such as Sade, Massive Attack, The Orb, Gaudi, the Brazilian DJ Marcelinho da lua, Grace Jones, and Perry Farrel.
In mid-2009 Frente Cumbiero invited the legendary dub producer Mad Professor to Bogotá, as part of the British Council's Incubator project, with the aim of conducting a sound encounter between cumbia and dub. During 3 days and under the guidance of Mad Professor and his son Joe Ariwa, several subjects were recorded in the studies of the Javeriana University School of Arts to be treated under the aesthetics of the dub. In addition to recording original FRONT compositions, an important part of the project sought to bring together key musicians from the Bogota scene to improvise and create together in studio.
From these improvisations came 3 collective compositions, which add up to 4 originals from the FRONT for a total of 7 songs that were remixed with dub's own techniques by Mad Professor in his ARIWA studio in London. The result of this album, in addition to becoming one of the first tangible encounters between cumbia and dub, brings a new Colombian sound to the powerful movement of continental cumbia.

Live at the Apollo is a live album by James Brown and the Famous Flames, recorded at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and released on October 24, 1963.
Brown's record label, King Records, originally opposed releasing the album, believing that a live album featuring no new songs would not be profitable.
To King's surprise, Live at the Apollo was an amazingly rapid seller.
R&B disc jockeys often would play side 1 in its entirety, pausing (usually to insert commercials) only to return to play side 2 in full as well. The side break occurred in the middle of the long track "Lost Someone".
In 1998, this album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2012, the album was ranked number 24 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
It spent 66 weeks on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, peaking at #2. Many record stores, especially in the southeast US, found themselves unable to keep up with the demand for the product, eventually ordering several cases at a time.
Michael Kiwanuka will be playing at The Showbox on January 29th!

Written with spaces, the song's title would be "Hoppa í polla" (the "—a" in "hoppa" is not pronounced). As with many of the band's songs, it was given a nickname in the early stages of writing. "Hoppípolla" was "The Money Song", as the band was certain they had written a song which would have commercial success. It is the band's most successful single, charting at number 24 on the UK Singles Chart in May 2006. It is considered the best-known song within its genre.
