In 2012 Paul Patmore, the CEO and owner of Patmore Funeral Home, ran and won as an independent councillor for the Lorimers division in the Trelawny Parish Council (Jamaica). Despite not being affiliated with any of the two major political parties, Patmore was an effective councillor who was even given the Governor General (GG) Award for his contribution to community development.
Although his tenure was successful by all accounts, Patmore decided not to seek re-election; choosing instead to focus his attention on his businesses, one of which is his record label: Paul Patmore Production.
While running his funeral home and working as a politician, Paul has always simultaneously created music. Initially it was done as hobby but as time passed he began to see it as an actual revenue source.
Consequently, Paul Patmore is now gearing up to release what he considers to be a very powerful rhythm-driven project. He shared the first single a few days ago: “Rooted and Grounded,” performed by Terry Linen and Dipmatik. This is an inspirational dancehall record that has been well received by reggae-dancehall enthusiasts all over the world.
Paul, who has previously worked with prominent artists like Louie Culture, Pinchers and others, is intending to publish the Rooted and Grounded dancehall compilation before the end of the year. In addition to the aforementioned song, Paul has also recorded new music from Little Hero and Tony Curtis for this project.
Because most territories and regions are currently restricting large gatherings due to the covid-19 virus, a lot of us have not been able to enjoy a good dancehall session in well over a year. In an attempt to provide a temporary fix several promoters have been hosting zoom, Instagram and Facebook events. However, partying online does not have the same feel, energy or vibe as the real thing.
With that in mind, veteran producer and songwriter Willie Lindo penned a song that accurately captures the dancehall experience. The track is titled Ram It Ram and it is performed by his son KashieF Lindo, who is an accomplished performer and music author in his own right. When asked what’s the inspiration behind the song; in other words what made him (Willie Lindo) write it, he gave two words: “total fulljoyment.”
Interestingly, the musicians and producers behind Ram It Ram are the legendary music duo Sly and Robbie. The song was officially released on all music platforms on September 3rd and it’s on the Lindo‘s label: Heavybeat Records.
