Papa Dee's Dream

Sextant Studios (formerly Butter Music Productions) brings you an intoxicating blend of Brazilian and Caribbean groove to an iconic R & B Classic. “Papa Dee's Dream” written in 2020, a tribute to the vision of the  late B.B. Dickerson, bassist and co-founder of the Southern California band, War. This is Chuk Barber's interpretation of, "The World is a Ghetto".
