Not On Label – BRR-ND004
BRR may not be the label, if not, the label is unknown even to
Musicbrainz and Discogs. There are Youtube uploads but sound only and no
descriptions.
Natty Dread appears to be a French reggae musician with a possible
connection to Mali. (Bamako is Mali's capitol). He has left a very small
online footprint but his music is worth the listen. In fact at first I
thought Bamako Roots Reggae was a remaster from the Jamaican artist
Natty Dread but this is a different, lesser known artist doing classic
reggae roots music done up with a bit of Euro styling and above average
dub production. Despite the title I could detect no influence from Mali.
Despite knowing its more recent origins, this album has a very '70s feel
to it. Political in good ways, musically interesting and not just
because the vocals are in French.
