Kalbata & Mixmonster - Congo Beat The Drum (Trailer)

Kalbata & Mixmonster went into their home studio in Tel Aviv, Israel with the purpose of recording a 100% analogue dub album in the spirit of the late King Tubby and the early dancehall era of the late 70s and early 80s. A 16-track tape machine and an old analogue mixing desk were their main instruments, with musicians playing live all throughout the album. A year after recording the instrumental backing tracks, they travelled to Kingston, Jamaica and started tracking down their favourite singers and deejays from days gone by. Featuring vocal contributions from Little John, Puddy Roots, Major Mackerel, Mutabaruka, Jah Thomas, Tullo T, Trinity, Echo Minott and Prince Jazzbo
