Singer Randy Valentine and deejay Sauce Perreler recall the sacrifices their parents made in Surrounded By Angels, a song produced by Valentine. Both artists were raised in rural Jamaica and knew each other’s family intimately. Their parents were farmers who tilled the soil relentlessly to ensure their children had a solid foundation.
“We are the music makers. In this track we celebrate the privileges of being raised in a village that nurtures its children. Our teachers are keepers and carriers of wisdom, that’s why I connected with my brother Sauce Perreler to share this story in song form,” said Randy Valentine, who is based in the United Kingdom.
Valentine, who is from Clarendon parish in central Jamaica, has lived in the UK for almost 20 years. He has made a name for himself there as an artist, musician and producer. He is credited as co-producer of Bank On It, a song from Twice As Tall, the Grammy-winning album by Nigerian Afro Beats star Burna Boy.
Based in Maryland, Sauce Perreler is originally from St. Ann parish which neighbors Clarendon. He was also a farmer before going into music full-time. Sauce’ speaks about his parents, siblings and the core values they hold. “Today, we say thank you to our teachers, it is their compassion and love that shapes the moments we meet today and tomorrow,” said Valentine.
