Roots Architects - From Dub 'Til Now LP
SKU: FTR068
Description:
Bringing
together over 50 of Jamaica's greatest session musicians, whose
work spans from the birth of reggae in the late 1960s until today,
Roots Architects is the largest gathering of Jamaican musical
talent on one all-instrumental album. Never before have so many
veterans, who helped create the immortal rhythms that made reggae
internationally successful, been assembled to play on new material
without vocals. This project aims to celebrate and pay tribute to
the unsung heroes of reggae music: the rhythm builders or Roots
Architects. Following the outstanding success of the first chapter
of the project, From Then 'Til Now (2024), Fruits Records is
pleased to reveal the dub album From Dub 'Til Now. A veritable
immersion in the mythical sound of Kingston studios in the late
1970s. Dub master Roberto Sánchez sublimates the work of the Roots
Architects with wildly inventive sound experiments. Reminiscent of
the finest years of King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry and
Scientist.
The
project is the brainchild of Swiss keyboardist and producer Mathias
Liengme. In 2013, he travelled to Kingston, Jamaica, to produce The
Inspirators project, an all-star album gathering Leroy ”Horsemouth”
Wallace, Lloyd Parks, Earl ”Chinna” Smith and Sangie Davis, the
four of them acting both as musicians and vocalists. This first
experience in Kingston studio life paved the way to what would
become the Roots Architects project. In February and March 2017
Mathias Liengme travelled for the fifth time to Kingston to record
as many of reggae’s greatest living veteran musicians as he could.
With the help of a few of these Architects like Robbie Lyn, Fil
Callender or Dalton Browne, he managed to gather over 50 session
musicians aged 60 to 85 on nine instrumental songs.
Roots Architects are
legends back together in Kingston studios doing what they do best:
creating instrumental music all together!
