The Marvels- Rocksteady (Timber Edit)

Le 8 décembre dernier, le bassiste Robbie Shakespear nous quittait à l'âge de 68 ans. Une perte immense pour le reggae dont il était l'un des plus grands bassiste, en tout cas le plus prolifique. Il formait en effet avec Sly Dunbar la mythique section rythmique, Sly & Robbie, qui a accompagné en studio comme en live, les meilleurs chanteurs du reggae pendant des décennies et jusqu'à récemment. Tribute avec la diffusion exclusive en audio d'un live à Montego Bay (Jamaïque), le 30 août 1986 à l'occasion du festival Reggae Sunsplash, featuring Ini Kamoze et The Tamlins. Un certain Dean Fraser est au saxophone et le somptueux "Baltimore" clôt le concert...

"OUT NOW" SLID016 Roots Reggae Souljahs - Rammalow Feat Sista Awa PROMO

Rough and Rugged sees Toronto Reggae Don Nkrumah aka Kwame Salmon pairing up with the analogue production wizards behind the enigmatic  Local Dish label for a wild, synthy Dub excursion .
Sounding something between 80s Dancehall and a late 70s Cabe Verde grail, Nkrumah's cool baritone rides this deeply funky  synth soaked analogue riddim.  Originally released as a lathe cut 7" in miniscule quantities.  Just wait until you hear the Dub!
