PRESENTS ROCKERS INTERNATIONAL VOLUME 1

Description

A pioneer of 70s Reggae, author, composer, artist, and producer, Horace Swaby, aka Augustus Pablo, was born on June 21, 1954, in St-Andrew, Jamaica, and passed away on May 18, 1999. From his beginnings, he used the melodica as the main instrument for his melodies. In his early days, Pablo worked with a good number of producers, including Lee Perry, Leonard Chin, Gussie Clarke, and Bunny Stricker Lee. Pablo then launched a partnership with DubMaster King Tubby, whose mixes became the hallmark of many tracks, notably in the film "Rockers." Filled with success, Pablo worked with Freddie McGregor, Big Joe, Horace Andy, Earl Sixteen I-Roy, Joe Higgs, and Jacob Miller. Pablo's talent is particularly evident in the legendary album King Tubby Meet Rockers Uptown, one of the best Dub albums in Reggae history.
