WWW,
February 2021 - Meet Aki Mittoo, who has her
credentials as instructor and player of the
black and white keyboards from melodica to
piano. Meet Shanti-K, multi-instrumentalist
and producer since 1993. And meet Goja
Bongos, whose name tells it all. Two
riddims, six tracks. Read the review, listen
and get the music from BANDCAMP.com.
"Botanical
Story" is a Roots Reggae steppers,
solid. You'll instantly get the vibe. There
are vague resemblances of that other band
from the land of the Rising Sun, Dry and
Heavy. "Rudies" has a Ska flavor,
which matches the title very good as it
recalls the days of the Rude Boys.
Every track
comes in three different versions: an
instrumental track, where Aki Mittoo gets to
play over the riddim from the top to the
very last drop. A Dub version, where
Shanti-K shows his skill as producer and
engineer. Another Dub version where Goja
Bongos adds that Roots vibe which can only
be done by use of the Kete hand drums which,
by the way, he manufactures himself.
We at
Dubroom heartically recommend this release,
which you can get at Bandcamp and other
online music outlets.
