wareika hill sounds: kumina mento rasta

Wareika Hill Sounds is the contemporary roots reggae project of Calvin Cameron -- mainstay of the original Light Of Saba line‐up, and the genius behind Lambs Bread Collie. In the great pedagogical traditions of the multicultural Light Of Saba, and before that Count Ossie, this recording runs together two JA musical traditions -- a kind of drumming (and drum) brought from the Congo, and the island's variation of calypso -- into a thundering grounation charge. The Skatalite's trombone‐playing is majestic, deadly, and deeply gripping. The dub is tremendous, too. Expertly mastered and cut at D&M in Berlin, and beautifully pressed at Pallas, for maximum soundboy worries. Printed sleeve design by Will Bankhead.
