Jambassa is a digital dub project, started in 2000 by Carmine Minichiello (Gamino) &amp; Raffaele Gargiulo (Papa Lele), and settled in Irpinia -South of Italy-, a rugged and poor land, far away from the nerve-centers, where digital dub music had way and space to express itself: a physical and cultural isolation, which develops in Jambassa an own original style, detached form the genre standards.
Initially born as Dj set, Gamino &amp; Papa Lele matured a natural bent to studio productions formerly in 2006, with "Waiting Dragoon", their first work and fourth publication of the Aquietbump, a label founded by Jambassa with other two artists: Paolo Picone (Peak) and Giovanni Roma (Black Era).
Jambassa sound is digital, even if extremely warm, "contemporary", even if strongly linked to '70/'80 jamaican roots music, and "essential" but rich, more based on groove textures than melody, and so: drum, bass and other few elements.
Starting from these music approaches, spontaneous collaboraborations and experiencences began with several italian and foreigners artsits such as Disrupt (DE), Mikey Murka (JA/UK), Volfoniq (FR), Hotdrop (ES), ltd. Candy (DE), Ranking Forrest (USA), Sardinia Bass Legalize (I), Rankin' Alpha &amp; Dubital (I) and others.
Besides the three official releses ("Waiting Dragoon - 2006", "The Roots and the Flowers" - 2008 and "Macchine Parlanti" - 2009), Jambassa appears on other productions, with re-mixes and original tunes, amongst which "Italian Dub Community showcase vol. 1", a compilation with songs made by best underground italian dub musicians, and "Future Sound Theory vol. 2", by Matt B for the asian label Celestial Dragon.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams

"What occurs in the world is that everyone who is born, is born, in some manner of speaking, a poet, the creator of something that did not exist in the world before, till they were born. It is entirely individual.
Man is not born to work, Man is born to create, to be that poet at random. And give to the world his own particular message, to realize the work that can be done and because he is unique, his work will be the only one of the kind in the world." - Agostinho da Silva
