The debut Album by Reggae singer Uwe Banton (based in Bielefeld\u002FGermany) will shortly be hitting the streets. After 10 years of hard work and three LP releases with his Band Movements Uwe chooses to walk a new path as a solo artist. His 2005 smash hit Jah Roots (7, MKZwo Records, Berlin) on the Too Long-Riddim created by the well-acknowledged Berlin-based artist and producer Ganjaman, proved that his music would also be accepted by the large audience of the Sound-system scene which played the tune on a wide scale. Touching issues that could not be more up-to-date and yet timeless. 11th September, Fussin & Fighting, The More They Fight Us, just to mention a few, are all brand-new tracks which comment on the happenings of our present time while giving hope that, facing worldwide terror-alerts and peace-threatening global wars, it is not too late. I Know he sings full of confidence on the Give Thanks Riddim (Culcha Candela). Besides the new tracks the popular Dont Cry- a collaboration with the Austria based House Of Riddim - as well as the impeaching Ganjaman feature called Kommt, Seht, Hört, which was also a big hit earlier this year within the Germany\u002FAustria\u002FSwitzerland Reggae Scene, are also on the LP. So, have no fear, because Jah Is Here. The approach on producing this album differs from the previous Movements-productions. While the latter emerged primarily as classical singer\u002Fsongwriter albums, Uwe has now written his songs to fit onto Riddims provided by various producers. Well-known bands like House Of Riddim, Sharp Axe Band, Stonerock Production and Oneness Band deliver the groovy, sometimes rough but beautifully arranged instrumentals. But his own composition (Fussin & Fighting) is also a part of it. Berlin-based Producer-Artist Ganjaman is in the main responsible for the production and for mixing the vocals onto the riddims. So, listen, dance and above all: stay alert!
