Time To Roots Records is proud to present an exclusive
release that brings together two heavyweights: veteran
reggae artist Ras Kuko and the powerful Dub Wizards Band.
In this new project, Ras Kuko breathes fresh life into the
spirit of roots reggae with a vibrant, reimagined versión of
the iconic song "Fronteras" , Originally by the legendary
band Cañaman. This reinterpretation draws inspiration from
the classic 1984 anthem "Across The Borders" by Freddie
McGregor, delivering a fresh and authentic take that only
Ras Kuko could offer.
The result? A Powerful fusion of tradition and innovation. Ras
Kuko contributes brand-new lyrics, a dynamic vocal
performance, and an infectious energy, proving once again
that experience is not a burden but a springboard for
creativity.
The musical foundation - The riddim - has been entirely
crafted and reimagined by Dub Wizards Band, taking cues
from the legendary "Warrior Charge" by Aswad (1980).
The sound is built around heavy basslines, hypnotic
keyboards, gritty rock-infused guitars and steady, flowing
rhythms, packed with dub effects like echoes, reverbs, and
filters, while preserving the essence of classic British roots
reggae.
This release is more a tribute to reggae's rich legacy;
It's a bold step forward in the evolution of Spanish-language
reggae. Ras Kuko, true to his roots yet open to the future,
reaffirms his ability to connect with new generations while
staying authentic to the genre's core spirit
