Boss Capone meets George Dekker - Blackfire LP
SKU: AB062
Description:
There are few Jamaicans with such an impressive career as George
Dekker. The carreer of the half brother of hitmaker Desmond Dekker
gained momentum in the late 60ies when he joined the Kingstonian
vocal group The Pioneers. The Pioneers is a name you may take
literally: at a time when reggae and rocksteady were new and as yet
unknown genres, The Pioneers scored hit after hit internationally.
Thanks to their record deal with Trojan Records they were one of
the first Jamaican acts with hit singles in Europe.
One of the first international hit songs by The Pioneers was
'Long Shot Kick The Bucket' from 1968, which - thanks to
cover versions of The Specials and The Selecter - is still a
popular song. Despite not being the fastest horse, Long Shot was
famous in Jamaica for winning a race record by completing 202
races. During his 203rd race he dropped dead, just short of the
finishing post. Horse racing and the associated gambling have
always been popular in Jamaica, so it may come as no surprise that
the 'Blackfire' album are inspired by these subjects.
The Blackfire album was written and produced by Boss Capone: core
member, songwriter and producer of the Dutch early reggae band The
Upsessions. After having written and produced five albums for The
Upsessions (including one with Lee 'Scratch' Perry) and three as
Boss Capone, this is his 9th album to date.
The vocal duties on the 'Blackfire' album are done by
George Dekker and Boss Capone with guest appearances by Patsy, who
also joined Boss Capone on his previous album 'Kings &
Queens' (Aggrobeat Records, 2023). The backing tracks were
recorded by Boss Capone with musicians of The Upsessions and The
Steadytones.
In spring 2024 The Pioneers (with George Dekker, backed by Boss
Capone) will tour throughout Europe. They will headline various
festivals including Freedom Sounds in Germany and Zikenstock in
France.
