CONNECT! RADIO SHOW #98 INTERVIEW TO KING KONG (JA)21_11_2013_WWW.BALOOBASOUND.COM

Mystic Man. Man from the hills. Truisms that describe FIKIR AMLAK. This Rootsman has been putting out Heartical and Rootical works for 15 years now. 2014 will be a pinnacle year for this multi-talent(Andres Estrada) with the upcoming EP "King Of Kings", released by the highly respected Jah Youth Productions.
    This multi-instrumentalist/producer and engineer initially made an impact in 2005 when he established Black Lion Sounds(Santa Cruz, California) and released three superb albums "Fikir Amlak" "Love Jah And Live" and "Seed Of Zadok". Fikir has worked with such luminaries as St.Croix's Abja, Ras Batch, Ras Attitude and Puerto Rico's crusaders Roots Natty. Linking with these artists has honed his Royal style to higher ites. In 2008, he began a four year hiatus away from Babylon walls to refresh and reinvigorate. In 2012, he returned like a mighty Lion with "Lion Lives" and the excellent compilation "Highest Regions". Eager to spread Jah message throughout Creation, he has been writing and producing songs in Brazil(Rafa UniRidd) to Morocco(Saj Moor) to Northern California's Trinity Farm(Ras Biblical) and One Drop Records. Most recently, he has ventured into the Sound System arena; mashing it up from New York to Italy and across to England and France. Fikir Amlak's direct and versatile approach is felt throughout Creation like rolling thunder...
     Jah Youth(Jeffrey Bohler) is Hawaii's top ranking producer and brings out the absolute best in the artist. He has worked extensively with the likes of Daweh Congo and Kaya Lambsbread and these experiences have proved utter success in 2014. With the critical acclaim of Rob Symeonn's "Indigenous" and Perfect Giddimani's "Better Off Dread"; the link between this visionary producer and humble chanter will equate to incredible results. 
     People get ready! FIKIR AMLAK'S "King Of Kings" will resonate for years to come. Over granite riddims derived from Zion vision, Fikir delivers in a sincere, heartfelt and versatile style. Originality abounds throughout. Anthems like "Born To Win" "Train Jah Youth" and "Fya" showcase Dread chanting with the full spectrum of meditative approach and rapid fyah delivery that are lyrics tights and brimming with intellegency and reasoning. Big vibes all around! Open your Heart and Soul to the truth of FIKIR AMLAK.- Robert Heilman / Highermon

Tous les mois, Musical Echoes vous propose deux sélections 100% vinyles : l’une roots/digital et l’autre reggae/dub/stepper, plus actuelle. Ce mois-ci et pour la trentième sélection roots, c'est Ras Abubakar qui passe derrière la platine et nous fait profiter de la profondeur quasi infinie de ses bacs de vinyles.
Sélecteur du sound system  Zion Gate Hi-Fi et disquaire emblématique à Oneness Records à Nantes, l'homme est aidé de I Youth Tubby aux effets spéciaux pour une sélection mélodieuse de deux heures avec une avalanche de perles rares et de nombreux dubs. Fondé en 1996 à Nantes, Zion Gate est l'un des plus anciens sound systems français encore en activité. Tourné vers la musique reggae militante et rasta, le crew n'a jamais dérogé à ses principes fondateurs depuis plus de vingt ans. Run it Abu !

Wailing Souls are standard bearers and among the few active surviving elder statesmen from the birth and the golden era of reggae music. 

With a career spanning more than five decades, from rock steady through reggae to dancehall and beyond, their canon is part of the soundtrack of Jamaica itself. Songs including “Fire House Rock,” “Jah Jah Give Us Life,” “Mr. Fire Coal Man,” and “Shark Attack” mark creative high points in reggae history.
 
With the 2020 release of Back A Yard, produced by Alborosie, the group marks 25 albums in a career that includes three Grammy Award nominations for Best Reggae Album, and a pioneering 1992 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Pipe and Bread’s creative history dates to Jamaica’s rock steady days in a group called The Renegades with George Haye. A number of name changes would take place into the 1970s, while they would first use the name Wailing Souls for a track called “Gold Digger” for producer Lloyd Daley in 1970. At that time, Pipe and Bread were joined by Norman “Fats D” Davis and Oswald “Sabu” Downer. With this lineup, the group also made a series of key recordings for Coxson Dodd’s iconic Studio One label, which included “Mr. Fire Coal Man,” “Back Out,” and “Things & Time.” These recordings either credited Wailing Souls or The Classics.
 
The group’s close association with Bob Marley & The Wailers during this era included singing harmony on Marley’s “Trench Town Rock” and seeing two tracks released on Marley’s Tuff Gong label in 1972, as Pipe & The Pipers.
 
While the Souls have worked with many record labels over the years, including Island, Columbia, and BMG, many associate their greatest recordings with Greensleeves Records and a series of albums including Fire House Rock, Inchpinchers, On The Rocks, and Stranded. During this period, the group was known for its four-part harmonies that included George “Buddy” Haye and Garth Dennis, formerly (and subsequently) of Black Uhuru. They were both in the group from 1976-1985, starting with the update of “Things & Time.”

With Back A Yard, Wailing Souls further solidify their place among Jamaican music’s all-time greats.
