BAMBUSTATION DUB

LYBIA'SUN AT THE CONTROLS

Producer, lead singer and founder of Bambu Station, Jalani Horton, now steps into the dub spectrum as Lybia'Sun, a moniker honoring his late mother, Lybia Callwood.

Over the years, audiences have witnessed Jalani lead Bambu Station, a collective of musicians from the Virgin Islands, delivering their distinctive brand of Roots Reggae. Albums like One Day, Break The Soil, and Talkin' Roots I and II presented some of the heaviest roots music of the first two decades of the 21st century.

Bambu Station's lyrics were provocative, insightful, raw and far-ranging. The music was funky, rootsy, raw and full of vibes. Now, those roots are being shared in dub, especially in live sessions where the expressions and set lists are improvised and everything is based on vibes of the moment.

As Lybia'Sun, Jalani is dubbing everything Bambu Station, from released recordings and unreleased specials to live dub sessions of SPOKEN DUB, alongside Heru Spoken Dub, Muata Blues, Tuff Lion and more.

As he has long maintained, the mission is not about "chasing stages" and they are not interested in being reggae artists. Rather, it is about moving intentionally as servants amongst their warrior class and the broader community, with music and action as vehicles for consciousness, connection and empowerment.

BAMBUSTATION DUB is here, and Lybia'Sun is at the controls.

SPOKEN DUB MEETS SANKOFA

(EST, UTC-05) (EST, UTC-05)

Sankofa Video Books & Cafe, 2714 Georgia Ave, NW, Washington, DC

On this special evening, Spoken Dub, the musical artform that reinforces the unity of a scattered people, will be on full display at Sankofa Video Books & Cafe. This unique blended musical form metaphorically reverses the triangular slave trade by uniting our people through the familiarity of the artistic genius of Africans who found themselves on the African Continent, The Caribbean and the USA. Spoken Dub is not choreographed and is entirely driven by spirit and impromptu creativity. On the mic will feature Heru Spoken Dub, acclaimed spoken word poet, on guitar will feature Blues maestro Muata and on the dub console will be Lybia'Sun of Bambu Station. This is for the community, the Pan Africanists, organizers and one's who been fighting the "Good Fight" for us over the decades. For ticket information, please contact Sankofa Video Books & Cafe at (202) 234-4755.

Special Guests will include: Jah-I-Witness | Jashua Sa Ra | Laini Mataka | Tuff Lion

BAMBU STATION ONE DAY

20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

“One Day,” is the critically acclaimed Bambu Station album now celebrating its 20th Anniversary with this reimagined, remixed and remastered Double Vinyl and Digital Release. As the explosion of roots reggae music from Jamaica in the sixties and seventies turned to dancehall, unexpectedly there came a resurgence of roots reggae from the Virgin Islands. Bambu Station was a main progenitor of that resurgence. It would be a band that would create music and write songs that reach into the difficult spaces in the lives of people. It would be a band that would have a positive impact on the lives of people. It would strive to keep a mighty torch lit — lit by ancestors and musician-prophets alike.
