Rasta State

Description

Rasta State is the new album by Mykal Rose, aka Michael Rose, who was the charismatic singer of the group Black Uhuru from 1977 to 1983, when the group was at the peak of its glory. A return to the roots of Reggae Roots by one of the most beautiful voices in Reggae, with the added bonus of King Jammy on production. Michael Rose was the legendary voice of the group Black Uhuru at a time when the group won the first Grammy Award ever given to a Reggae band. This was in the early 80s when Stevie Wonder played with Sly & Robbie on their album and when the group regularly opened for world tours of bands like The Clash, The Rolling Stones, and Police. Born in Jamaica in 1958, he began making music at a young age and met renowned artists such as Dennis Brown, John Holt, Big Youth, The Wailers, Niney the Observer, Gregory Isaacs, Sly and Robbie. After the success of Black Uhuru, he released his first solo album "Demonstration" on his Grammy Rose label. Then "Bogus Badge". But it was when he signed with RCA Records that Mykal Rose truly exploded. In the early 90s, two albums were produced: "Proud" and "Bonanza". Subsequently, in 1993, Michael Rose reunited with Sly and Robbie for a series of singles including Mr Mention, Monkey, Visit Them, and Bad Boys. Michael Rose remains one of the most in-demand Reggae artists. He lends his voice to numerous Jamaican labels such as Star Trail and Brickwell, which keeps him very close to his early fans. His voice appeals to both traditional Roots and New Roots audiences. What is certain is that he revitalizes this music with each of his new albums.
