(Instrumental Reggae, Jazz) Faya Dub - World Wide Reggae - 2007, MP3, 320 kbps

"Burning Spear, the legendary Jamaican reggae music icon traced the evolution of the music from ska to rock - steady and reggae in one of his songs titled « Back to the Old School ». The latest album from Faya Dub aptly titled World Wide Reggae can equally be considered as « Back to the Old School » because all eleven tracks, reflect the roots and origin of reggae music. As in their previous albums, Faya Dub is back blazing the trail - true to their founding credo as reggae instrumentalists and underlining with each song the evolution of the music from ska to rock - blended with dance-hall and dub school effects. The group went further to add a variety of traditional musical influences acquired mostly on the road, in their ever-widening tours in Europe.
Like the title of their new work indicates, the exposure of members of Faya Dub to world-wide musical influence, started out in small Parisian clubs that served as training grounds for the notoriety they have come to build as France's instrumental reggae band. The band as we can listen in this new album, are dubbing all the way from the first track titled TCHIMB’L, « stand firm in life » in Guyanese Creole, a beautiful reggae piece composed in the Charlie Mingus’ well charged jazz arrangement style. It has a rich instrumental background sound rendered in a typical style that is becoming synonymous with Faya Dub. The second track, REGGY, a funky-reggae tune that takes the listener deep into a soulful, funky trip rendered with a nice rock-dub feeling. Coined in the spirit of words like jazzy or funky, this soulful tune can be considered as very « reggy ». The third track titled BOSNIA, an inspiration from the group's performance in the Balkan refugee camps. It has this oriental groove rendered in a gypsy reggae dub style. ROCK N’ REGGY is no doubt 100% « old school » ska. HOMBRE is rendered in a mixed oriental/east European gypsy style particularly with the violin feeling - another testimony to the group's tour in Bosnia. GROS MORNE BLUES has this irresistible reggae - blues feeling that carries the listener along with the music - a really blues dub feeling. Gros Morne signifies a little hill in French Caribbean Island slang (Creole), a nostalgic song written in homage to the Caribbean origin of some members of the group. Enhanced by their divers’ origins - a perfect representation of humanoid, this World Wide Reggae CD confirms Faya Dub’s growing reputation as reggae instrumentalists and their ability to interpret rich musical encounters with musicians from all parts of the world".
