Gargamel Buju Banton Special on the Timeless Reggae Show

Selector King David
Gargamel Buju Banton Special on the Timeless Reggae Show

Diverse selection showcasing the extraordinary talents of the Kingston superstar. 2017 marks an incredible 30 years since his 1st singles for Bunny Lee, Shocking Vibes & Jimmy Riley. A long series of hit was to follow for several producers, notably for Penthouse, Mad House & then his own Gargamel label. Best known for rockstone-voiced hardcore dancehall, the deejay is equally adept at doing roots and vibsy dancehall songs. Nuff wicked collaborations along the way...Buju is inarguably the biggest name in reggae music since Bob Marley & Dennis Brown, not only for the longevity of his career but also the quality of his amazingly prolific output The world looks forward to hearing more from the Gargamel after (hopefully) a speedy release from jail.

Pure vinyl selection. 


More thanks & respect to King David
Niceness every time.
