about
Sattalites is a Canadian reggae group. They came together over twenty years ago in Toronto, Ontario as a music school; from then they have flourished across Canada as a very influential reggae group. They signed with the Canadian record label Solid Gold Records early in their career and have been with them ever since. The worldly vibe that they emit comes from a wide variety of instruments and vocals and their peaceful attitude towards life. Sattalites are the product of the instantaneous rapport between charismatic flugelhorn player Jo Jo Bennett and singer/saxophonist Fergus Hambleton. Hailing from widely diverse musical and cultural backgrounds, Fergus and Jo Jo met while touring with reggae crooner Leroy Sibbles. The pair, who formed two thirds of Sibbles’ "Sattalite Horn" section, quickly became crowd favourites, prompting them to establish a band to showcase their unique brand of spirited reggae. Jo Jo’s deep reggae roots melded with Fergus’ love of ‘60’s pop vocal harmonies created a unique flavour which fans have affectionately dubbed "lovers rock".
