Georgia O'Keeffe - Jamaica

Back in the day, maybe ten years ago, Gego was actually pretty awesome, but honestly, this whole current hype train is starting to give me a bit of a headache...

Remind me again... what exactly was Gego up to ten years ago? 🤔

I haven't commented on geg yet, mostly because I don't actually know the man. But this song is a mess, regardless of what anyone else thinks. If you strip away all that blind patriotism, you'll see it for what it is. He’s basically the local icon for people on Martha's Vineyard... 🤣

My apologies regarding Gego and his followers; I didn't intend any insult by comparing him to Thompson. 👋

Everyone seems to be obsessing over this guy, but I haven't actually heard a single track of his yet. 😁

The same stuff he's doing now, just high on something.😉

He had that massive hit song, "mama Jo son lud"...😬

Laura Roberts61 said:That song "mama Jo son lud" is basically an anthem everywhere right now...😬

I’m familiar with the track, though I had no idea it had actually been out for ten years...😁

Even over at Melina, they’ve still got that Gego cassette, "mama Jo son lud," sitting there from a decade ago. 😁

Gego is the man

A cassette?

That's ancient history... 😁

Back in '94, right after he finished his service, he recorded a demo with a group of friends who had definitely had a few too many. It was just an acoustic guitar and some synthesizers for everything else. There were certain issues involved—stuff that isn't common knowledge, though he writes about them quite openly on the Martha's Vineyard forum (www.cima.org). Eventually, he connected with Max Juričić (formerly of Film, Azra, Le Cinema, Vještice, and Šoo!Mazgoon) and the rest of the crew—his bassist actually plays in Stampedo, Šoo!Mazgoon, and Cold Beer—and they started gigging last year. They even released an album this year...
To be honest, most people on Martha's Vineyard actually prefer the old demo. Even though it’s unproduced and sounds amateurish, it has a raw energy that this album just lacks. If you heard a track like "Fore Moj"—their take on Štulić's "North American"—you'd understand what I mean.
Now, the whole thing has become serious business... damn.

But please, for the love of God, do not compare them to Thompson, or I will lose it on you!!!

huh?

nope 😁

what?

yeah 😁

🙏 Gego is a total legend!!!
When I first heard that tape (one of those legendary 10 😁 ) a few years back, I was just blown away. Around here, Gego is a massive hit! We love him way more than those foreign 😉 .
