The
Itals - Brutal Out Deh |
| The
Itals can be considered one of the most
underestimated Vocal Trios of Reggae Music.
Their music is energetic. Yes I, the Itals
are Vitals! And although they sound fresh
and new on this album, the truth is that
founder Keith Porter is doing his works from
the beginnings of the 1960's. This album is
first released in 1981, and it is an
interesting mix between Roots Rockers and
Rub a Dub. The title track is very catchy.
Sometimes they sound a bit like the Wailing
Souls, another Jamaican Vocal Trio, but
vitality is definitely defining their works,
so that you can not say one or the other is
imitating one another. Most of the works on
this CD are conscious, that means that they
deal with spiritual or social subjects.
According to the liner notes, the Itals are
brethren that do not like to live in the big
city (Like I Messian Dread) but they are
doing their works there and then get back.
This you can really hear. The music is
fresh, it makes you dance. Sometimes there
is really a "live" feel on this
(studio) Album. And the top of Jamaican
Roots and Rub a Dub musicians join their
forces again for this album: names like Sly
and Robbie, Flabba (Holt), Style (Scott),
the fine horn section of (among others)
Tommy Mc Cook, "Deadly" Headly,
and Bobby Ellis. When you want to listen to
some vital reggae music, you might consider
the Itals, Brutal Out Deh.
