ONE LOVE: REGGAE: Martin Gansinger: Academic

“The album is Fisherman Style Riddim, the One Riddim album. It's very special for me because it represents innovation a lot, for me, it's the best of the old and the new. You have all the old legends on it, I don't know ..... Gregory Isaacs, Max Romeo, Big Youth all of them. And then you have like the second part of the album which is composed of recent artists, Lutan Fyah, for example. And personally it's special because it was the only soundtrack that I took with me to Ghana for one year. And these songs get a different meaning, when you're there sitting in the tro tro and like, you know, Sugar Minott sings “Jah is the bus driver” ... bringing the album to life seeing it in African context and stuff. And I'm a very big fan of One Riddim albums and this is like one of the best.”Martin Gansinger: Parkside Building, Birmingham City University, 4th April 2018The Congos and Friends: Fisherman Style released 2006Martin Gansinger
