Here's the Reggae on our playlist this month:
ALBUM OF THE MONTH
COUNT ME IN - BY REBELUTION
TRACK OF THE MONTH
MAMA - BY THE GRINDERS
Four member band
Rebulution are back with a
fourth album, Count Me In,
released 10th June. Unlike
their previous albums, their
new instalment has a light
and mellow tone, with tracks
like 'Count Me In' that will
make you feel like you're in
the 1970's.
They are one of the most successful
reggae bands in the world.
Mama, is the first single off
The Grinders album Under
Arrest. The track, featuring
vocals from British reggae
singer Tippa Irie, has a
soft tone and distinctive
percussion.
The Brixton native
dedicates the song to his
mother.
They are an emerging group of produc-
ers from France.
Tribal Seeds aren't your typical reggae band, with their in-
fusion of reggae and rock. The independent group from
San Diego formed almost a decade ago and have used
their authentic sound to gain recognition throughout the
US and worldwide.
The six piece band's projects have not gone unnoticed. On
the contrary, their debut album Tribal Seeds earned the
'Best World Music' prize at the San Diego Music Awards,
while iTunes recognized Tribal Seeds and The Harvest as
the best albums in the reggae genre, for their respective
years. 2014 has undoubtedly been their best year though,
as their fourth album Representing reached the top spot
on the Billboard Reggae charts.
