Zoolook, in cooperation with Soul of the Lion, is pleased to present Nicholas Da Silva’s Dread & Alive: The Lost Tapes. The debut audio counterpart to the highly anticipated Issue #3 of the Dread & Alive comic book series, The Lost Tapes features top current international roots reggae artists Anthony B, Lutan Fyah, SOJA, Jah Mason, I-Octane and Niyorah as well as respected veterans Bob Andy, Annette Brissett and the Grammy-nominated harmony trio, The Itals. Uniting artists from the Caribbean, Europe, the Pacific Rim and North America, including contributions from award-winning Itation Records, renowned Jamaican guitarist/ producer Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith and critically acclaimed I Grade Records, The Lost Tapes is a clearly comprehensive and unique find for music as well roots and culture fans everywhere.
Scheduled for digital release September 14, The Lost Tapes captures the universal social, political and artistic themes with which roots reggae music, and Da Silva’s fascinating storyline, have spread worldwide. Baijie and Mackie Conscious embody these enduring messages in the music while the magnetic mysticism of Sahra Indio, the soul roots of Toussaint (former lead singer of Stax Records / Blue Note recording group Soulive), Jamaican bass virtuoso Taddy P and European jazz/Hip Hop/reggae artist Hanouneh reflect the breadth and depth of the album. Including previously unreleased tracks from Anthony B, The Itals and Monsoon, each of the new and hit songs spanning reggae, dub and soulful roots are designed to be heard either alongside Da Silva’s comic book, or, as a special, standalone musical event.
