The reggae serial Top-A-Di-Top brings also in 2015 the best reggae and dancehall artist to the Czech music scene. After Romain Virgo, which will perform on the 30th of March in the LMB, the next to be named is the very talented Jesse Royal. He is one of the newcomer in new roots reggae.
Blessed with a voice that captures the pain and hunger of a ‘downtrodden’ people; Royal’s militant character and profound lyricism caught the heart of heralded reggae producer, Philip ‘Fatis’ Burrell. Fatis Burrell, affectionately called ‘Father’ had a great and pure impact on the ‘old soul’ of Jesse; as he credits him as an invaluable inspiration and one of the most influential individuals that he has ever encountered.
Working with musicians such as Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Donald Dennis, Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith and Monty Savory; Jesse is currently in the studio putting the final touches on his debut album with producer Kareem Burrell of the XTM.Nation. Jesse Royal also recently released his debut mixtape dubbed ‘Misheni’, which means ‘The Mission’ in Swahili. One of the latest highlights is also the great mix tape “Royally Speaking” with Diplo and Walshy Fire from the project Major Lazer.
Tickets are available from the 19th of January on. The combo-ticket Romain Virgo (18.02.) and Jesse Royal (30.03) are available for 650 CZK(+fee) at musicbar.cz and GoOut.cz.
