SHOWCASE
Derajah Meets The 18th Parallel - Prosperity LP
SKU: FTR055
Description:
Known for being part of the INNA DE YARD family for almost
20 years, Jamaican singer extraordinaire DERAJAH is a major
figure
in Kingston music scene. He is the bridge between the old and
new generations, passing the knowledge from the elders to the
youths. We are delighted to present his latest effort in
collaboration with A-class studio band The 18th Parallel:
‘PROSPERITY’. A showcase album of 6 songs with dub versions
produced between Geneva, Switzerland and Kingston,
Jamaica.
With the expert touch of mixing maestro Westfinga, the 11
tracks of ‘Prosperity’ are sonic masterpieces, timeless and
innovative. In between the raw and brutal sound of 80’s
Jamaican rub a dub and today’s sophisticated and polished
modern sound. Derajah's raw and emotive vocals paint vivid
pictures of struggle and resilience, carrying a
profound message of social consciousness and resistance
against oppressive forces, while The 18th Parallel's
ultra-solid riddims create a rich tapestry of sound that will
transport you to the heart of roots reggae. With its
impeccable production quality, ‘Prosperity’ captures the
essence of reggae's golden era.
This groundbreaking album is a testament to the enduring power
of music to inspire, uplift, and ignite change.
The story towards the creation of this album also needs to
be shared. As Fruits Records members were in Jamaica on tour
and to record their first projects, they crossed Derajah paths
a couple times without getting a chance to work together. But
this was enough to set a strong foundation to a relationship
that goes way beyond the musical side only. A few years after
this meeting, one phone call only was enough to start the
process. The rest is pure magic! Spontaneity, trust and
loyalty became the guidelines for the creation of this gem,
which stand out of time and space, and aim to carry on its
path anyone seeking for knowledge, love and prosperity.
