{"product_id":"linval-thompson_ganja-man-cd_2024_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Ganja Man","description":"With over 50 years of career, Linval Thompson is one of the last living legends of Jamaican reggae. Singer and producer of the famous Thompson Sound label, he has traversed the decades, leaving his indelible mark on roots reggae with numerous Jamaican music hits such as \"I Love Marijuana\", \"Jah Jah The Conqueror\" or \"Don’t Cut Off Your Dreadlocks\", as well as albums and singles he produced with the biggest names such as Barrington Levy, Eek A Mouse, Johnny Osbourne, Freddie McGregor, Horace Andy, Freddie McKay... His discretion and humility, despite owning one of the largest reggae catalogs in the world, make him a foundation of this music. After many years of collaboration on stage and in the studio, Linval Thompson and the French label Irie Ites Records have joined forces to produce this new album entitled \"Ganja Man\". Composed of 10 tracks and 5 dub versions, this opus highlights Linval's timeless voice, recognizable from the very first notes. The themes addressed revolve around current social issues in which the artist encourages us to surpass ourselves daily and fight against the corruption of the most powerful. It also highlights this plant he so cherishes through the track \"Ganja man\", the album's eponymous title. Lyrics that will speak to the greatest number! On the musicians' side, we find the cream of reggae composers such as the Roots Radics, Jammys, Med Tone, The Ligerians, Irie Ites All Stars, Nambo Robinson and Dean Fraser... All mixed by Roberto Sanchez and Irie Ites for a roots result reminiscent of albums from the 70s. Note the exceptional presence of singer and toaster Trinity featuring on the track Tune In. \"Ganja Man\" is an album that will undoubtedly mark Linval's long career and will surely be one of his flagship albums. A \"must have\" for all Reggae Roots fans! After a highly acclaimed performance at the Rebel Salute 2024 festival in Jamaica, one of the biggest reggae events in the world, Linval will blow out his 70th candle this year and will be on a European tour this summer, then in October and November 2024 to promote this new album. Entitled Thompson Sound Tour, he will perform on stage with Eek-A-Mouse and U-Brown, whom he has chosen to accompany him!","brand":"Linval Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57525857517912,"sku":null,"price":23942407.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3760396024055.jpg?v=1781658634","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/linval-thompson_ganja-man-cd_2024_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
