Channel One Sound System in Rome

Sound systems at Traffic Club on March 8th.

It was 1977 when in London, the legendary Mikey Dread, founded the Channel One Sound System. It was the London of punk era, London of mods, it was the London of Jamaican community in Brixton. Rude boys into the streets of His Majesty, reggae music at high volumes to remember the origins. After so many years, of select tunes around the world, their name has become synonymous of quality and reliability. Live performances in clubs and festivals, are unique experiences for live sound full of news and the past. As the show we've seen in Rome, thanks to the organization of Dubass Sound System, a night with Notting Hill Carnival’s atmosphere, where the Channel One was the master of the house from long time. 3 hours of reggae music, roots and dub, public so happy and satisfied that they didn’t want to leave. God save the Queen... and reggae music!
