The Hempolics ft. Macka B - One Law Fi Dem single - Release Date: 12th August 2022

The Hempolics gear up for their forthcoming album with the release of single ‘One Law Fi Dem’, a team-up with soundsystem veteran Macka B. The collaboration captures a tale of the time, indeed a tale of the ages, as Macka B spits “One law fi dem, One law fi you, Do as I say but no do as I do”.

The Hempolics have reworked and updated the riddim of their debut release ‘Serious’, much loved by Massive Attack, and combined it with Macka B’s lyrical greatness to create a monster for the masses. It’s not just the story of the UK right now - but the world over.

The Hempolics have previously had 3 singles playlisted on BBC6, featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist and Me Love To Sing sat on the curated Chilled Reggae Spotify playlist for 2 years. Besides being a renowned UK soundsystem veteran, Macka B has reached new audiences through his healthy eating accapella videos with ‘Cucumba’ hitting over 100M plays and receiving widespread mainstream media attention.

After Sly and Robbie returned from their tour with Peter Tosh and the Rolling Stones, they linked with Black Uhuru to record the intense Showcase album from a set of sessions that took place with Sly, Robbie and the Revolutionaries at Channel One studio in 1979. ‘Leaving To Zion’ was the original album’s fabulous opening track,

LA BOA is a 10 piece Afro-Colombian jazz group with heavy influences from the Antilles islands in the Caribbean. 

Like the recent explosion in the British jazz scene being driven by artists like KOKOROKO, Ezra Collective and others, La Boa are driving the bubbling Colombian jazz scene forwards. 

Influenced by Colombian great Lucho Bermudez, La BOA fuse traditional Afro-Colombian Caribbean sounds with their original afro-beat rhythms, jazz and electronic sensibilities. 

LA BOA’s last album ‘Volumen’ released in 2017 featured Quantic collaborator Nidia Gongora and saw them garner support from Rolling Stone, Noisey, Sounds & Colors and others. They count many trail blazing alternative Latin musicians as fans including Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero), Pedro Ojeda (Quantic’s Ondatrópica) and many more. 

The group is made up some of Colombia’s finest musicians and is spear-headed by bassist Daniel Michel who is originally from Mexico but for the last 7 years has been living in Colombia. As well as forming LA BOA, over his career Daniel has played bass on tour for Lee Scratch Perry and under the artist name Nairobi he has recorded an album with greats like Mad Professor and Sly & Robbie. As a musician with endless energy he also plays synths and bass for cumbia influenced, techno Colombian buzz group, El Leopardo. 

‘Por Eso’ (‘That’s why) blends merengue with Afro-Colombian rhythms and fused with horns, saxophone and synths the track is an upbeat call to resistance and social action around the world. 

‘Máquina’ (Machine) is an instrumental track where the hypnotic and infectious machine like repetition of Afro-Colombian beats are fused with elevating horns and a sprinkling of funk. 

The Por Eso / Máquina EP is an exciting fusion of Caribbean and traditional Afro-Colombian sounds showcasing the growing Colombian jazz scene and revealing the promise of what’s to come.
