Negritage

It all started a few years ago in Argentina in the “Lavadero Records Dub Temple” when some childhood friends were sharing their passion for “di roots & kulcha music” and exploring the dub sounds and the Jamaican tradition. After some time William, Nacho, Leo, Pato and Herno moved to another place called “Cuca Roots” where they recorded some dubplates included in this album (dub control skank, herbsman shuffle, roots & kulcha and dubbing time) and now they are building a new studio called “El fuerte dub foundation”.

Past, present and future are represented in their sounds. Their first album is a musical playground, where analogue vibes meet the new waves of the 21st century dub vibrations. Their gear is whatever is available, some time analogues other times digitals, mixer consoles for the overdubbers, a turntable for the vocal samples, sometimes a Kawai drum machine from the eighties. “Don’t forget we are children of di third world so the gear its a few years delayed or its too expensive but this is not a problem to continue with the positve vibes mi amigo the creator allways provide!”
