Sublime-"Santeria"

I've always like this song it's got a cool ass beat and the video is hilarious featuring Tom "Tiny" Lester Jr. Deebo From the movie "Friday" I never knew what the hell the song was about until a friend told me it's a west African religion whatever the case I love it.

Santeria is kind of like Voodoo, I think.

Sublime is a great tragedy. He was already declining & an addict before they even made it.

I love Sublime. thumbs up! Santeria started out as a favorite of mine, but I gradually worn it out the point where I can barely listen to it now. 40.oz to Freedom and their self titled are pretty good.
To all my little Hulkamaniacs, say your prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.

I'm quoting myself just to add, that I wouldn't start off with Second Hand Smoke. It's basically just a bunch of remixes and a few unreleased songs. But yeah as far as 3rd wave ska, Sublime is probably my favorite band, of course they have nothing on the 1st and 2nd wave ska bands.

40oz To Freedom is a classic album. So many quality tunes on there...Great rockin' party music. Bad Fish, Let's Go Get Stoned, Date Rape, Ball & Chain...this was THE album of the summer for me from about 94 to 96. I like their last album almost as much. Shame Brad died so young...dude was one hell of a guitar player and singer...he was just getting started.

don't forget DJs mr.green No Doubt did a pretty good live cover of this as a tribute. It's not a recent cover though.

and what is even sadder is that a few of the original members are now in a band called Long Beach Short Bus and they suck....in fact there is a sublime cover band out there and i forget their name but from what i hear they are better than Short Bus

it's an Afro-Latino religion born out of the magical rites of the Yoruba tribe out of West Africa(Nigeria) to be exact and combined with certain elements of Catholisism,it centers around Orisha worship which are deities that represent all aspects of life, heavily practiced in Cuba,Puerto Rico,Dominican Republic and parts of Central America...in Brazil it is know as Candomble. Celia Cruz often sang about the Orishas in some of her work.
I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.
I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there.
I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish.
And I am

hmmm I didn't know that. I haven't really been keeping up with the other members though. I'll have to check them out.
