about

After the "Shuttle", the "Tizita" and the "Abeng", here is the swiss independent roots label's fourth riddim. The recipe is still the same : recorded in legendary jamaican studios, the gathering of legendary jamaican musicians, playing roots like way back in the days ! So, in october 2014, Derrick Stewart (Alpha Boys School, Conscious Minds) on drums, Boris Gardiner (The Crystalites, The Upsetters, Boris Gardiner Happening) on bass, Dwight Pinkney (The Sharks, Zap Pow, Roots Radics) and Robbie Lyn (Sound Dimension, Now Generation band, The Upsetters) joined forces at Harry J studio, Kingston, JA, to record this melancholic one drop riddim, the "Tarab". A arabic word meaning the extasy one gets through music.

Three cuts of the riddim, featuring different overdubs and mixes, will be released on one 12" (45 rpm) record. As always, Prince Alla, a real member of the Soul of Anbessa family, is singing the first one, a beautiful ballad called "In the meadow". Featuring swiss musicians Alex Schneiter on trumpet, and Matteo D'Amico on trombone.
Mixed in London by Darren Jamtone and Inyaki BDF, two big names in the european roots scene.
