Αποχαιρετάμε το καλοκαίρι και ξεκινάμε τα live της νέας χρονιάς με τους
αγαπημένους Soulfire ανανεωμένους και πιο ορεξάτους από ποτέ μετά και
την εκρηκτική τους εμφάνιση πλάι στο θρύλο Max Romeo φέτος το καλοκαίρι.
Μαζί τους ο Northical από Κακό Συναπάντημα σε ένα special dub show και
dj set. Irie!!!
Lee “Scratch” Perry’s, 70‘s classic, “Soul
Fire”, was the ignition for the songwriter and singer Vassilis
Savopoulos a.k.a “Jah Smiley” to form “Soul Fire” the first reggae band
in Greece in the begining of 90’s.
After “Jah’ Smiley” set up his project studio, he formed this greek
based reggae trio comprises, himself, (vocals and guitar) King John
(drums) and T Wise (bass). Their live performances reach as far to the
early 90’s and albeit they‘ve started by playing cover versions, such
as, “Chase the Devil” by Max Romeo and “Soul Rebel”by Bob Marley, soon
filled their live track listings only with their own deep roots reggae
riddims. Since then,they are enjoying the respect of all their greek
fans, and they are now considered to be the pioneers of the local reggae
scene.
God, love, inner self, consciousness and justice could
be the keywords for someone searching behind Jah Smileys songs. «Marley
was the light and Burning Spear was the mystic spirit of reggae for me»
he says. 2004 is the turning point, for their career.
The great
producer Mad Professor (Ariwa Records), was surprised to discover such
an original reggae band in Greece so he decided to produce their first
album.
With the co-operation of a so prolific producer, Soul
Fire recorded their groundbreaking and critically acclaimed album.
Well-known artists participated, like drummer “Sinclair”, active member
of “Lee Scratch Perrys band “Roboticks”. World famous reggae stars
singing the backing vocals, like Aisha ,Cofi and Mafia from
“Mafia&Fluxy” plus the MC Fredi Kruga.
New single 2013
released “Rasta people We Are”.The 2nd album of Soul Fire also released
the same year titled “Wake Up your Lion” produced by Jah Smiley and
mixed by Professor Skank.
