Aketi Ray - From Ever Since

Aketi Ray are an all acoustic dub-jazz group, playing original compositions grounded in the instrumental music of post- independence Jamaica: ska, rocksteady, reggae, rockers, dub but drawing inspiration and influence from Ethiopian and US jazz, west African percussion traditions, all with the mind set of UK steppas. An international sound: Kingston to Chicago to Addis Ababa to Dakar to London.The debut LP From Ever Since draws on the vibes and heritage of pre-electric music, but gives that traditional sound new power through the use of modern dub techniques.
