MUSIC IS THE HEALING OF THE NATION

Press

“On a night when musical instruments were solidly represented, top-flight show band, the potent Dubtonic and Uprising Roots both played pleasing sets, combining sweet vocals with soul-stirring instrumental delivery. After their set, Dubtonic left no doubt why they were recently voted the top reggae band in the world.”

— Jamaica Star

“The victory of Dubtonic Kru in the Global Battle of the Bands (GBOB) competition indicates that Jamaican music is globally competitive despite its controversy and lack of resources, stated stakeholders.”

— Steven Jackson, Jamaica Observer

“The final of this year's Global Battle of the Bands (GBOB) was held in Malaysia Saturday night with Jamaican band Dubtonic Kru emerging as victor.”

"When good musicians play together you always get good music. When good musicians who have been playing together for a long time play you get magic," Bennett said. And it was obvious that Dubtonic had been playing together for some time.

— Mel Cooke, Jamaica Gleaner

“There is a saying "third time a charm" and "Foundation medicine" autumn 2010 tour was just that with 32 concerts in 30 cities. The impact of Dubtonic kru's music on audiences throughout this tour was very intense and the overwhelming response brought numerous requests yet again for another speedy return.”

— i-reggaenation.com

“Le groupe de roots jamaicain a sorti son album "Dub Tonic" il y a peu. Cet album fait suite à Jungle Fever leur premier album qui avait rencontré un succès d'estime. Vous pouvez retrouver le dernier album "Dub Tonic" dans toutes les bonnes boutiques ainsi que sur les plateformes de téléchargement légales.”

— Reggae.fr

“A five-member band, Dubtonic Kru has been in the business for many years working behind reggae giants before making it on their own. Speaking with The Sunday Gleaner recently at Victoria House on Lindsey Crescent, the site of their upcoming show 'Bands Incorporated 3', Dubtonic Kru went in-depth about their journeys. ”

— Krista Henry, Jamaica Gleaner

— Reggae.fr

“Dubtonic Kru has composed music for Champaigne Records for groups such as Voicemail's Ready To Party, D'Angel's Downtown Girl Living Uptown Life, and recorded with just about everybody.”

— Basil Walters, Jamaican Observer

“It's then no surprise, the level of positive energy that is shared through music between 'Duntonic Kru' and their listeners everywhere they perform! Their versatility and capability in being able to serve the right amount of dosage to their varying audiences, makes them second to none.”

— I-Reggae

“Lyrically positive, conscious and at times forthright this is a band that can be thought provoking, while still keeping you moving with their well crafted riddims and this album should find them getting more attention for sure.”

— United Reggae

“The Dubtonic Kru has just finished their new CD titled Dub Tonic which is an awesome collection of their varied musical influences. They did a mini tour of Europe in April 2009 performing in Spain, Belgium, Italy and Sweden. They also toured France, Norway, Poland and Sweden in the following month of May, and impressed at Reggae Sumfest 09.”

— Jamaica observer

“After their impressive performance at Reggae Sumfest 2009, Dubtonic Kru will be making their next local appearance at the Charmax Music Showcase Family Fun Day at Palm Treadways, St Catherine, on December 5. ”

— Roxroy McLean, Jamaica Star

“Le groupe jamaicain Dubtonic Kru, nous propose un bon morceau de reggae "Sunshine Girl...Rub a dub". un moyen de créer le buzz autour de la sortie imminente de leur prochain album dont vous pouvez voir la pochette dans cette news.”

— Reggae.fr

“Aunque estos riddims dejan ver la calidad de los músicos, hay mucho más que degustar en su disco Jungle Fever, a nivel musical.”

— Reggaliza.es

“One of the significant milestones in their careers was the composition of the “I Swear” rhythm, a rhythm that took the Reggae arena by storm, which featured Chuck Fenda’s “i swear” and Richie Spice’s “marijuana pon di corner”. ”

— Reggaenews.de

“Dubtonic lived up to its name, delivering heavy rockers where the extended dub version was as much in the foreground as the vocals, the guitarist leaning over at one point to adjust his effects to drop some sizzling riffs.”

— Mel Cooke, Jamaican Gleaner

“ El famoso I Swear Riddim editado en el 2004, fue producido por el mismo Jubba White, este ritmo fue popularizado por Richie Spice con su Marijuana Pon di Corner, Chuck Fender con su I Swear, Jah Cure con Good Morning Jah Jah, y Junior Kelly con Dem Story.”

— vzlareggaezine

“JUBBA est un batteur qui a accompagné de nombreux musiciens et artistes (Bushman, Junior Kelly, Capleton ou notre Pierpoljak national). Il a participé à l’expérience Stim Turban et passe une bonne partie de son temps aux studios Tuff Gong. Il passe régulièrement derrière le micro et produit quelques titres sur son label Dub Tonic Kru. Voici une vidéo medley sur le ‘Tantrum rhythm’ avec Kamau, Dylan Murray, Ras Brando, Al Fray et Bushman (tout à la fin). À découvrir d’urgence. Enjoy it !!!”

This an incredible show of two of the top names in reggae music today. Jah Sun has a critically acclaimed fresh CD and Dubtonic is the best reggae band on the road right now.
