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!
