Every now and then you hear someone sing, and you get a glimpse of who they are at the core… where their Spirit is… International Reggae Singer and songwriter Ras Teo (Born Teodik Hartoonian), is one of them. When his voice sings Roots Reggae, the sounds seem to immediately take us to a calm meditative state firmly rooted in Jamaican tradition. His spiritual tune Way Up is taken from the Various Artist album “King Of The Dub Rock 3” by JahSolidRock, which they made in collaboration with Lloyd Coxsone (Sir Coxsone Sound) It also features songs and dubs by Chezidek, Var, Mutabaruka, Micah Shemaiah, Earl Sixteen, Apple Gabriel, and Brinsley Forde & David Hinds. Now available on all download/streaming platforms and on limited edition vinyl LP.
