about
MackaFat is a Roots Dub band from Tours, France. Dennis Bovell, UK Dub pioneer and leader of the Dennis Bovell Dub Band for Linton Kwesi Johnson, is the man who discovered this outstanding young Roots Reggae band MackaFat. It was during a gig in Tours (France) that Dennis Bovell heard for the first time MackaFat. Truly surprised by the band’s music quality and roots reggae feeling, he immediately suggested the band to record their first album. And this was an opportunity that MackaFat couldn’t refuse…. MackaFat’s debut album "Behind the Counter, recorded by Dennis Bovell during July 2004 is a nice blend of all different styles of roots reggae. From blues & funk influences to the deepest sound of natural reggae, MackaFat has combined its music with conscious lyrics. A total of 15 tracks (including 4 wicked dubs!), from mellow mood feelings to militant riddims, this album is an everlasting musical journey. And the band has reached what they wanted to achieve: A top quality album with their own style & fashion! No doubt that tunes like Out of the Concrete, Fire and Spice or even Heavy Load will immediately strike to any listener. And that’s the power of MackaFat’s roots reggae music!
