Master Blaster (Jammin'): Apaciguando la sed y el calor

El verano suele ser el periodo elegido por la mayoría de los artistas, para tener un contacto vivo con el público y comprobar la afinidad con él. En Europa este periodo estival esta en pleno apogeo. El calor en ocasiones se hace dificil de soportar, pero eso no ha impedido que Stevie Wonder haya aprovechado para continuar un tour que inició hace varios años y que sigue tan vivo y fresco como el primer dia. Ya finalizada esa estancia por Europa, Japón y Corea -tras un breve descanso y ya en agosto- son sus nuevos destinos. Él sabía que a ese calor se le podía combatir con más calor. Con el de un público entregado -como siempre- y dispuesto a disfrutar de un show repleto de buenos músicos, grandes canciones y sobre todo, de la presencia de uno de los pocos genios de la música que pueden hoy en dia ofrecer un espectáculo único.
Es imposible no disfrutar escuchando en directo -y con la magia en la interpretación de Stevie Wonder- de melodías que han atravesado la barrera del tiempo, de canciones que abarcan varias décadas y sin embargo siguen oxigenando y dando vida a nuestro corazón; en su exterior cada vez más áspero por el transcurrir del tiempo, y sin embargo más tierno y sensible en su interior, al sentir el latido que nos induce escuchar a Stevie Wonder.
"Master Blaster (Jammin')" -de su álbum Hotter Than July- es un tema que puede apaciguar, de alguna manera, la sed de música que necesitamos de Stevie Wonder, a la vez que aplacar el calor del verano. Sonido reggae inspirado en Bob Marley, un deseo pacificador para el mundo y todo un número 1 en ese comienzo de los años 80.

Master Blaster letra

Everyone's feeling pretty
It's hotter than July
Though the world's full of problems
They couldn't touch us even if they tried
From the park I hear rhythms
Marley's hot on the box
Tonight there will be a party
On the corner at the end of the block

Didn't know you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet nobody ever told you that you
would be jammin' until the break of dawn
You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on

They want us to join their fighting
But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze through our fingers slip away
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World's right on the one
Now's the time for celebration
'Cause we've only just begun

Didn't know that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I know nobody told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jam on

You ask me am I happy
Well as matter of fact
I can say that I'm ecstatic
'Cause we all just made a pact
We've agreed to get together
Joined as children in Jah
When you're moving in the positive
Your destination is the brightest star

You didn't know that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Don't you stop the music, oh no,
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Na, na na...
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Nobody told you Oh, Oh, Oh, you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet you if someone approached you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
yesterday to tell you that you would be jammin' you would not believe
it because you never thought that you would be jammin'
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
jammin' 'til the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, You may as well believe what you are feeling
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
because you feel your body jammin'
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Oh, Oh, you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
