Firstly, dancehall music has been popular in Jamaica since the early '80s, but only became known in the United States in the early '90s. The music popular in U.S. urban nightclubs that is called "dancehall" is not exactly what is referred to as dancehall in Jamaica (some of these songs would be better classified as ragga tunes). Secondly, this compilation contains songs that are simply not dancehall tracks as the term would generally connote. Beres Hammond's "Putting Up a Resistance" and Garnett Silk's "Hello Mama Africa," with their slower tempos and protest-style lyrics, have little in common with Panhead's paean to spandex-clad ladies, "Punny Printer." Otherwise, this compilation is an enjoyable potluck of known and obscure modern reggae songs as it contains some of reggae's biggest hits of the '90s, like Dawn Penn's "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" and Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam."   Technical Info Release Date : 03/07/1994 Original Release Date : 1993 Catalog ID : 92372 Label : Big Beat Records (Dance) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00075679237224   Professional Reviews Option (10/94, p.96) - "...There are a couple of pleasant surprises on BUYAKA.
