SKU: JUMP151 OverviewDescription:
US import!
Akasha is the premiere reggae band on the Chicago musical
landscape. Powerfully authentic but also accessible to the
contemporary ear, Akasha’s approach to reggae is both a refreshing
and earnest tribute. Akasha’s new LP, Mother Of Exiles, is a
concept album dealing with issues such as immigration,
discrimination, and oppression. This recording is as on point a
statement on our current tumultuous times as one can imagine, and
is certain to resonate with any listener.
Given Mother of Exile’s thematic material and Akasha’s continued
musical evolution, this new album is certain to set a new standard
for the reggae genre. Cosmos Ray’s lead vocals, Doug Bistrow’s
bass, Scott Moss’ guitar, Shane Jonas’ horns and keys, and John
Barbush’s drums along with their hallmark four-part harmony come
together to forge Akasha’s signature sound, which has backed
Jamaican legends including Dennis Alcapone, Charlie Organaire,
Johnny Osbourne, Keith and Tex, Ranking Joe, Carlton Livingston,
Ky-Mani Marley and most recently Niney The Observer.
