Juba Dance - Orange
- Juba Dance’s Orange is a parade of electronica funk and big band orchestra sounds, for an eclectic blend that will get your body moving.
“Tomorrow” has guitar and percussion and a flock of people in the background clapping. The voices can really get listeners ablaze. The singer’s low timbre has a tough yet philosophical ring to it, as he gives listeners a glance into his past, with lines like, “I was born in Chicago…Finally I understand, see my money in my pockets they don’t get lost.” Listeners can picture the urban life and toil the vocalist is trying to express in his somewhat vexed tone of voice.
“Union Hall” has a completely different vibe to it with futuristic and electronic sounds. This song is definitely one that listeners are sure to hear at their local techno club as lasers bound off the walls and the patrons, while the modern sounds cause everyone to groove to the beats. Even the lyrics are guaranteed to get you onto the dance floor, with lines like, “Tell all your friends, get everybody movin’ let your union hall, let your union hall, let your union hall, let your union hall.” It is unclear the meaning behind this song but the rhythm is so catching that one can’t help but move their bodies to the contemporary punch.
“Double Dutch Hymns” is a sprightly tune that will remind listeners of their youth and hanging with friends during the summer or on the school yard. It has more clapping and lines that will get you geared up to hop and have fun, such as, “Hey hey hey ha ha ha hey hey hey . From one to three, seven days week. I‘m four, five, six of the words they speak.” You can envision kids singing this song as they negotiate the travails of jump rope either on the playground or in their own backyards, surrounded by buddies in a tournament to see who is the best at Double-Dutch.
Juba Dance’s Orange has quick-witted numbers that will brighten your mood as well as tracks that have such a contagious beat that it is impossible to repel the urge to dance to, either alone or with the person nearest to you.
