专辑简介

The debut Album by Reggae singer Uwe Banton (based in Bielefeld/Germany) will shortly be hitting the streets. After 10 years of hard work and three LP releases with his Band Movements Uwe chooses to walk a new path as a solo artist. His 2005 smash hit Jah Roots (7, MKZwo Records, Berlin) on the Too Long-Riddim created by the well-acknowledged Berlin-based artist and producer Ganjaman, proved that his music would also be accepted by the large audience of the Sound-system scene which played the tune on a wide scale. Touching issues that could not be more up-to-date and yet timeless. 11th September, Fussin & Fighting, The More They Fight Us, just to mention a few, are all brand-new tracks which comment on the happenings of our present time while giving hope that, facing worldwide terror-alerts and peace-threatening global wars, it is not too late. I Know he sings full of confidence on the Give Thanks Riddim (Culcha Candela). Besides the new tracks the popular Dont Cry- a collaboration with the Austria based House Of Riddim - as well as the impeaching Ganjaman feature called Kommt, Seht, Hört, which was also a big hit earlier this year within the Germany/Austria/Switzerland Reggae Scene, are also on the LP. So, have no fear, because Jah Is Here. The approach on producing this album differs from the previous Movements-productions. While the latter emerged primarily as classical singer/songwriter albums, Uwe has now written his songs to fit onto Riddims provided by various producers. Well-known bands like House Of Riddim, Sharp Axe Band, Stonerock Production and Oneness Band deliver the groovy, sometimes rough but beautifully arranged instrumentals. But his own composition (Fussin & Fighting) is also a part of it. Berlin-based Producer-Artist Ganjaman is in the main responsible for the production and for mixing the vocals onto the riddims. So, listen, dance and above all: stay alert!
