MESSENGER SOUND SYSTEM: ROCKERS SPECIAL

Following their celebration of the life and music of Jah Shaka (RIP), the next @messengersoundsystem dance is a Rockers International Special, devoted to the great Augustus Pablo.

Immortalised on the King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown album, Pablo’s distinctive, melodica-drenched sound is immediately recognisable, even to those with just a passing interest in dub and reggae music. Essential.

‘Tribute to the original melodica and dub master Augustus Pablo, who alongside the legendary King Tubby is responsible for some of the mightiest muzikal works ever to come out of the island of Jamaica and beyond,’ they say.

‘Fitting Tribute in Pablo’s birth month – catch classic Pablo and extended Rockers family selections to nice up the place – Heartically!

Messenger will be pulling out our original ‘ol skool bass boxes and amps for the occasion.
3 stacks of raw, reggae sound system bass line.

MCs @afrikansimba and @istalion in the area.

Muzikal pleasure + cultural satisfaction guaranteed. Vibes nice every time. Rock and Come In…’

Powered by the Messenger Sound System.
Following the sad news of his recent passing, @messengersoundsystem play this tribute dance “in honour to the greatest sound man, JAH SHAKA, King of Roots + Culture Sound System,” as they put it. “Nuff Shaka classics for your musical upliftment and cultural satisfaction.  Messenger will be pulling out our original ‘ol skool bass boxes and amps for this occasion. 3 stacks of raw, reggae sound system bass line.  Shaka’s first appearance in Scotland was on these very boxes – 1998, original Bongo Club, New Street.  Join us as we salute the inspirator for this sound and so many others.  MC Afrikan Simba, original Shaka student on the mic.  Tune in and hold a good vibes – Conscious Reggae Muzik for each n everyone. Blessings.”
