Aclamada e respeitada por toda crítica internacional por ter produzido um dos melhores álbums de reggae dos últimos tempos, a explosão internacional do Bambu Station aconteceu com o aclamado álbum "One Day", que rendeu turnês pela Europa e Estados Unidos, tendo inclusive levado o prêmio de "Melhor álbum de reggae de 2003" pelo prêmio americano "DC Reggae Awards". De lá pra cá a banda produziu outros grandes álbums como o "Break The Soil" e "Talkin Roots I e II".

O instrumental de peso e as letras que falam do cotidiano e de questões sociais que envolvem o ser humano fazem da banda uma das mais prestigiadas dos últimos anos para os amantes do reggae raiz.

Gregory Isaacs - Private Beach Party 2013

  Prolific reggae producer Clive Chin ranks as one of Jamaican music's greatest heroes. While working at the family business, Randy's Record Store and the crucial studio upstairs, Randy's Studio 17, Chin oversaw seminal recordings by the '70s top reggae performers and producers: the Wailers, Tommy McCook, Alton Ellis, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Lee Perry and Black Uhuru. From 1969, when it opened, Randy's Studio 17 became a focal point of Jamaican music, with the studio booked non-stop. Working with innovative engineer Errol Thompson, a teenaged Clive Chin laid down thick bass and drum rhythms which became a signature of the roots reggae, dub and rebel rock/rockers sounds. Music personnel flocked to Randy's to get the rich bass sound and full sonic image on their songs. 
                                      
     Mr Chin first rose to prominence by producing a record for a classmate Horace Swaby, a.k.a. Augustus Pablo. This record, Java, became a slow burning international sensation with its Eastern motif played on the melodica. LPs followed, namely This Is Augustus Pablo and Java Java Dub, which elaborated on the rhythmic achievements of the single. Another of his biggest hits on the British National Chart was "Fatty Bum, Bum" by Carl Malcolm. Ultimately, these halcyon days came to an abrupt end in 1978, as the Chin family closed shop and relocated to New York, where the record operation was renamed V.P. Records, today, the largest reggae distributor in North America. Distanced from the scene, Chin spent much of the '80s helping the family to run a new business, a Jamaican restaurant in Queens. As of 1998, Clive Chin has begun to produce records again, and it will be refreshing to hear new work in the '90s from this producing legend. Underappreciated, largely due to the longstanding unavailability stateside of even the milestone productions of Chin's career, a spate of reissues has brought Chin's productions to the light of day once again...
