    =====================
    About 2 Meter Sessions
    ====================
    Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
    Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
    The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

    Every time the British Royals arrive somewhere, they should play this really loud.

    • @fredvan6043
      @fredvan6043 7 месяцев назад +2

      Why? I don't have any sympathy for the British royals, but it's not that they invented slavery... Slavery has existed on all continents (also long before colonization started), and while it's been abolished in the West over 150 years ago, it still continues to exist in some parts of the world (for instance in India, but also in Africa)... So I think there's other occasions where it might be even more fit to play this song really loud! 👍

    • @fredvan6043
      @fredvan6043 3 месяца назад

      @@christomaya5516 "Conscious" music does not necessarily mean "better" music. Anyway, very much of Marley's music was - though being commercially successful (with is not the same as "commercial", by the way) - also about spiritual and political consciousness, but it was never limited to JUST that indeed, which made him a more versatile songwriter, taking on a much broader variety of themes, moods and styles. I think it's ridiculous to state one is "better" than the other, but fact is that Marley had a much wider appeal and, more than any other Jamaican artist, was able to blend his reggae into the pop mainstream without losing its roots, its originality or its credibility (while on the other hand, in the late 1980's Spear also made a few 'slicker' sounding albums too...). Whatever: I'm just a big fan of both! 😃
