For fans of: Caribbean Diaspora Sounds
What they're saying: From the creators themselves at Soul Jazz Records: “Soundsystem Culture – Black Musical Expression 1973-2006 focuses on the most important Black British musical styles to emerge out of the distinctly Caribbean world of sound systems… Life Between Islands shows how these many styles are interconnected.“ The Resident Advisor blog relays the comments of journalist Lloyd Bradley on the soundtrack’s relation to the Tate art exhibit that inspired it: “This soundtrack is as beautiful and as varied as the art itself, offering stories of immigration and settlement that can exist without filters or outside interference, providing a vivid snapshot of one of the cornerstones of Black British culture.”
What we say: The expert Soul Jazz Records curators give a guided tour of the sounds that link the emergence of sound system culture in the Caribbean to contemporary UK club sounds.
