Cocoa Tea Records Reggae Song for Obama
1 day ago
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Barack Obama has won what could be an influential endorsement among reggae fans: Jamaican singer Cocoa Tea, who's backing the Illinois senator in a new tune.
"This is not about class nor color, race nor creed," the veteran dancehall crooner sings in a version posted on the video Web site Dailymotion. "It's about the changes, what the Americans need."
The song goes on to call Obama a "trendsetter" and urge Americans "to unite as one" behind him.
Cocoa Tea, whose real name is Calvin Scott, said Sunday that the tribute song "Barack Obama" will be released this week by New York's VP Records.
"The young people who are supporting him want change — and that's what he represents," said the singer, whose laid-back lyrical style made him a local star in the 1980s.
He becomes the second major Caribbean musician to endorse Obama in song, joining Trinidadian calypso star Mighty Sparrow who recently recorded a track titled "Barack the Magnificent."

I wish Obama had a socialist platform. I would have voted for him EVEN HARDER. Kek.

decode135,
Everything you stated is a fact of reality!! It's funny that you receive thumbs down for expressing a truth. If one cannot see that Obama is continuing the war and falling back on most of his promises (if not all them) then the hell with them. Obama clearly, without a doubt, works for the establishment, the status quo. This is an absolute! So, yeah, even 'spiritually' roots singers can lose their way.

Either you voted for Obama because you agree with his socialist platform, or you voted for him JUST BECAUSE HE'S BLACK.
Stupid either way.
