WWW,
December 2007 - When the music starts
playing after 30 seconds, DJ Ian Irie has
already taken us straight into a DEEP ROOTS
VIBE.
Ambassada
Hi-Power is a UK based Sound System that
traces it's roots back to the 1970's.
Obviously, this says a thing or two and one
of these "things" is SHAKA.
JAH SHAKA,
to be precise.
"More
Rootical Culture, Selector!" opens up
with a big up to the man whose name is
synonymous with militant and conscious Roots
Music presented with deep bass and upfull
lyrics. JAH Shaka's Sound System has
inspired and keeps inspiring people to Chant
Down Babylon too.
In the UK,
Conscious and militant Sound Systems even
form a genre in themselves. You could speak
about a Rootical Culture, definitely. And so
it is no surprise when one Conscious Sound
System bigs up another instead of mashing
him down as we see so often in other
Dancehalls.
The
Rootical Culture can also be recognized by
experiencing -rather than listening- to the
Podcast. Reggae Music productions from all
times and places come together and DJ Ian
Irie's Mixing Board makes sure that
everything blends together into a harmonic
Inity.
Indeed:
More Rootical Culture, Selector!
