VOCAL

Includes insert with comprehensive Sleeve notes.
Amongst devotees’ of 1970s conscious music the name of Linval Thompson is revered as a singer of several classics of the genre including ‘Cool Down Your Temper’ and ‘Don’t Cut Off Your Dread Locks’. From the 1980s onwards, while never forgetting his roots, Linval established a second career as one of the first, and most important, record producers of the brave new dance hall style. 
Although his reputation as a record producer has, on occasion, eclipsed Linval’s many achievements as a singer, his superb self-produced albums for Burning Sounds are not only a timely reminder of the cultural roots and vocal talent of Linval Thompson but also serve as an indication of the direction that Jamaican music would eventually take during the following decade.
This re-issue of ‘I Love Jah’ is released on 180 gram Limited Edition Red vinyl.

Libyan Reggae at its peak grooves courtesy of Benghazi-born Ahmed Ben Ali. After working with Ahmed on the 12” hit “Subhana” (Habibi012), Habibi Funk is back with a full-length release focusing on Ahmed’s releases from the mid 2000’s. The tracks on the LP represent a blisteringly deep collection of heavy reggae rhythms and synthesized grooves from a singular creative force, inspired as much from Jamaican sonics as from Libyan folkloric styles, as Ahmed says, “it’s the Libyan style, not some bullshit.”

After their first LP, in 1987, Pedro gathered his usual band, Carlos Sousa on keyboard, Bulimundo on drums, Nuno Santos and Zézé on lead and rhythm guitars, Augusto Rasta on bass, Daló on sax and finally Dalú on percussions, for yet another project, one that carried both their names: Jacinta Sanches - Pedro Ramos. Eight days, no more, that’s all Pedro Ramos and Jacinta Sanches needed inside the Estúdios Musicorde. The process was natural, as with all their music, memories recollected and arranged by Pedro on café napkins, rehearsed and perfected at home with Jacinta. Together they imagined music where Cape Verdean saudade could dance together with Kingston’s skank, two island hearts beating inside European concrete.
