This week my guest is Aba Shanti,  a true cornerstone of the world-wide roots reggae sound system scene, and someone who has 100% lived their life in dub. The interview is full of amazing insights into his very early days, talks about the time he spent working with Jah Tubbys back in the 1980s, as well as his love for, and connection with, the city Of Leicester, where I have lived for 30 years . It was an interview with real personal meaning for me, because  Aba Santi was my own introduction to the world of Sound System back in those early days.

In the studio they have worked with Zion Train, Iration Steppas, Macka B, Ranking Joe, High Tone, Big Youth and an almost endless list of dub & reggae luminaries.
